This is the sketchbook that I took to the con. During opening ceremony, I mentioned the project and told the fuzzies that I was going to fill it over the weekend and that they needed to give me species suggestions. They did. I started it on Friday night, it was auctioned it off on Sunday (at 70% finished), and was wrapped up on Monday. It sold for\u00a0\u00a3250, half of which went to the charity.<\/p>\n

The winning bidder helped me decide the final species and I drew his character on the first page. He seemed very happy, which made ME very happy, and all things were wonderful!<\/p>\n

Click through to see the drawings! None of these are scanned, so photos are all you guys are gonna get. \ud83d\ude42\u00a0<\/p>\n

These were really fun for me to do since I almost never do traditional media outside of conventions, and thus only do badges\/sketchbooks on commission. I alternated between plain graphite and graphite\/prismacolor marker and got to experiment with a lot of different styles and things. Sometimes I was able to get a reference for an animal, but most of the time I sort of just made up (so ignore the janky anatomy plz).\u00a0<\/p>\n

AND HERE IS THE HAPPY WINNER, WHOM I ADORE:<\/p>\n

Look,Taro even has a signed print that he bought at the con yard sale!!!\u00a0<\/p>\n

Anyway, it was a lot of work and totally worth it. :3<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
