TFcon Wrapup!
Hey all!
TFcon is over and it was the best year yet! Thanks to everyone who came by the table, and especially everyone who bought prints and sketches!
Some highlights:
- My GF Amy helped out selling prints on day 1 so, I had a lot more time to sketch. I did 27 total this year, and also sold a bunch of pre-made sketches. Strangely I didn’t get any requests for Megatron or Prime besides a Super-Optimus and a Nemesis Prime. Though I did do two Gnaws (don’t think I ever drew him before!), some Devastators, Bruticus, Sixshot, Robotech, The Fallen, Dinobot, Unicron and many others. Most popular was Bumblebee!
-Colin who runs the show brought G1 Bumblebee voice actor Dan Gilvezan by the booth, very nice guy!
-At least 4 different little kids who came by started laughing out loud at my Movie Megs strip. No, not because of the design joke, or even at the Stunticon with a bat… for some reason kids just think Megatron on a cell phone is hilarious. Kids are awesome.
-Spoke a bunch with Cygnie from Fansproject(makes of the City Commander kit & such). Very cool guy who let me know there are apparently many Lil Formers fans in Hong Kong!
-I sold out of the Best Primes/Best Megatrons strips almost instantly both days. Guess I should be more prepared for Botcon! Also popular was the Powered Convoy strip, and of course the 11×17 Lil Formers G1 print.
-I guess this is a low-light but, one of the fans who bought a sketch from be lost it int he dealer room at the end of day 2. He hadn’t found it when i was packing up so no idea if he did find it. If anyone who was there found a sketch of Nemesis Prime & Arcee holding hands with a big heart, let me know and I will try to help get it to it’s rightful owner!
Anyways, looking forward to next year and also to Botcon!
