Sketches!

Apologies to those seeing this repeatedly...

I got eight new Rogues sketches at the Paradise Toronto Comicon this weekend (wanted to get those who were neglected last time).

Here's my gallery...my Rogues' Gallery, if you will

Aww.. those are fantastic! I almost went to Paradise but my best friend decided we are going to Fanexpo instead. Those pics are fantastic. I love the glider one... and the weather wizard... and OMG the Piper one is absolutely freakin' cool!

Glad you like them! I'm quite pleased with all of them too.

I plan to be hitting the Fan Expo too, although for me it's kind of a working holiday (I cover it for a website). Hopefully I'll still have time to get some more sketches...it's an addiction, really.

How do you go about getting them?

Basically, you just approach an artist at their table and ask. Most charge for them (it's a way to recoup their con costs), but a few artists will have signs saying they do free sketches. It's a good idea to have reference picture(s) for them to look at, in case they don't know the character or don't really remember them. I used to loan them beat up old comics for reference, but now I use colour print-outs of certain panels that look good.

Personally, I've never paid more than $20 for a sketch, although my husband got a $40 one yesterday. The big name artists usually charge a lot more, which is why I've never gotten a really famous artist.
