Round of applause to Orbital Comics Ltd for sponsorship and the Orbital gals on the day (Emily, Hannah and Tasha) for being such great sports in their matching Tsunade-sama gear!! Hope to see you next year, w000

hey thanks everyone for the warmest of welcomes. truly appreciate it. i look forward to all the new challenges u have in store for me. however i'm not doing a list this year. it will be 'draw while u wait scenario'. i just found it to be too stressful trying to make sure i finish everyone on the list before the con ends. i end up becoming unsocialble having my head down pencil on paper. cons i suppose to be fun!!
hope that's cool. hey fry, sketches will be £10 for A4 and £25 for A3. i've unfortunaley scraped the £5 A4 head to chest sketch as it proved unpopular. :) looking fwd to this weekend.
Hey Andie,
I'll think up a new challenge for you, definately! I'm going both days but you know the first thing I'm gonna do is go straight to you come 11am on Saturday, hahaha!! "Draw while you wait" sounds good, we can have a nice long chat like we did when I was working at Orbital Manga
The Ms Marvel head to chest sketch you did for me last year was the best thing I got, still well protected, shame you no longer do those, think I'll have to make the challenge harder, hehehe. I also need to pick up your new sketchbook, how much do they cost?

Hey there Koroshiya1
From past years I've been, Tokyotoys seem to be the main anime attraction there with their abundance of otaku merc from PVC figures to accessories. I believe Tokyopop have also been there for a few years.
What I'm intrigued about are the banners on the LFCC site, Showmasters seem to be making an effort to bring more anime/manga related activities. Hopefully they'll be more this year, fingers crossed.

Just got my photo ticket with Hayden from the postman this morning, thanks!!
-
From what I remember, there are quite a few sci-fi cosplayers who went to last years one. From memory there's been Lara Crofts, Stormtroppers, White Power Ranger Tommy, Batman etc etc
In terms on anime cosplayers, not a lot compared to other recent cons, but I think LFCC seem to be making a much bigger effort this year to push anime and manga, which is good!
Make sure you get your camera charged and SD cards at the ready, hehehe

Bought my photo session as soon as I got the email notice, first one as well. Now have to prepare to tart myself up for the young lady...hahahaha...
-
Hahaha, no stalking, just "happened" to be at the same stall at the same time. I like Terry Dodson's art also and only just managed to track down the first three issues of Spider-Man/Black Cat. Really digging the first issue of new "Wonder Woman".
So my first sketch from a pro artist was your first rendition of Ms Marvel, huh? I guess there really is a first for everything!
Good luck with your future endevours, hope to see your work carry on seeping out all kinds of awesomeness and maybe catch you at later cons for another sketch.
BWAAH (& take care)
-
Yep, went to the talk, I thought that was just one of Inara's costumes, hahaha.
Is everyone framing their sketches or keeping in a portfolio-like book?
-
Heh I love it when character's don't have eyes
my knowledge of comics does not go as far as Ms Marvel, but she looks cool, I love Andie's style Yeah the Mal thing, is from a part in Serenity where he dresses up as a woman to 'save' Innara from The Operative, its a funny scene, thought it'd make a darn good sketch XD
Ms Marvel only came back recently to comics with her own book and her main objective has always been to be the best superhero there ever is. You gotta love her spirit
. If you know Rogue from the X-Men and how she has super strength and can fly, those were taken from Ms Marvel back in the day and were somehow made permanent.I vaguely remember that seen but I haven't seen Serenity for so long. I can see why Andie was laughing so much with you, asking him to sketch Nathan dressed as a woman
-
I saw Andie in the process of doing that sketch when I went to collect my Ms Marvel one, really awesome Gambit.
Thats a nice Elektra as well, I really like the face and her trademark Sai.
When does that version of Mal appear in? Its been a while since I saw Firefly/Serenity. Nice sketch though.
Heres a close-up of my favourite item of the convention. If I see Andie at another con, I'd probably ask to either get a full body of Ms. Marvel or a head/chest of Wonder Woman:
-
I did, they were actually situated next to the talk area than with the other signings. Didn't get a chance to take a photo but they were there. Check the photos thread, theres a photo in there.
-
Hey fray101, what sketch did you get frm Andie?
I managed to find Andie's blog which I've now bookmarked so any more conventions I'm sure will be mentioned there.
-
White Ranger Tommy! I didn't see him but man the costume looks exactly like it did on TV.
I really liked the guy wearing the Batman Begins costume. I only saw him at the very start of the morning and I just missed him so I don't have a photo. The Lara Crofts were cool as well.
-
Yeah I got one. At first I thought it was plastic because it didn't feel that dense but then I realised it was some sort of metal. It looks nice and maybe its a start of a collection of POTC2 coin collection and this one's a promo. Did any Sunday attendies get one?
-
Oh yeah, I think I read that in another thread somewhere, asking for balloons and birthday related items. All the best with that and have a good day tomorrow, cptalbertwesker and Catmoo.
-
Hahaha, no no, the artists treat their customers very kindly, are you going tomorrow then, cptalbertwesker?
-
Yeah, I was disappointed by the Nathan Fillion line. I went straight in at 11am and only got a 620 ticket...I think he was posing with everyone but I also underestimated how popular he was. Some other time, Nate
-
Might I ask... what sort of paper is being used... as in how thick? Just wondering
Quite heavy stock, its very much like white smooth card, which is very good and considerate.
-
Just wanted to bump this thread and give Andie another big thank you for attending the LFCC this year, he seemed fairly busy but still took the time to have a good chat and enjoy the show (saw you with your Spider-Man/Black Cat Hardcover, man, hahaha)
I'm still in awe about how cool my Ms. Marvel sketch turned out. I'm definately gonna keep it safe in some portfolio where it can go with the start of my "MS. MARVEL by Professional Artists" collection. If you're ever at another con which I have access to, I'll definately get another sketch!
Heres a photo of Andie with the sketch he did for me:
Awesome stuff,
Thanks again
-
Hey, just got back from going through my photos, hahaha.
lost.in.translation, thats a really good posed photo, congrats. Sorry I missed you today, I couldn't go to the 13:30pm meet up since I went out. Maybe next year! Hope you had a good first con.
flurokitty & Tim32, awesome stuff. I had a Stormtrooper shooting at me while I was taking his/her photo
And some celeb shots:
And my haul:
Enjoy and hope to see you guys at other cons later this year,
Yik
-
Yeah, I think that'd be awesome.
You'd need a lunch break right? Get a VT and then get it signed then. You could get Dooku signed on Saturday and Sauruman signed on Sunday.
See you tommorrow, Andie. I think I've settled for Ms. Marvel for my sketch, looking forward to what you can do for me, hahaha.
-
This is the first time I've been able to access the forum in about two days. Did anyone else have trouble like that?
Yep, I guess it was a large problem with the forum. Access overload maybe?
-
As long as the secret project is somewhere close to where I live, I'll be happy...anyone taking guesses as to what it could be?

Fathom issue 9 out this week
Yeah I saw that on the Diamond shipping list. Man am I behind, I'm only on #3 of Fathom. I guess I can look out for those on Saturday then.

Oh hey, I actually have a video of you while you were on stage...I'll need to find it and see how large the file format is. I'll try and upload it somewhere soon.
