VINTAGE CON SKETCHES: Scissorhands, werecheetahs & leather-jacketed superheroes ahoy!
🕑 Added 2023-01-09 14:00:04 +0000 UTCAs I scramble to rebuild a Patreon buffer, I pawed through my dwindling binder of early-2000s con-sketch copies to find a few more that I prrrrrrrrobably haven't scanned before.
First up is ol' Edward Scisssorhands, one of very, very few Tim Burton-based commissions I've ever done:
Worked out okay, considering.
Next up is lycanthrope Brittany from Fred Perry's Gold Digger, whom I'd entirely forgotten was apparently (if obviously) referred to as "Cheetah" on occasion:
This piece would've been drawn fairly early on in the dawning timeframe of highly stylized "minimal nasal indication," big pouty lips and angular facial construction. Golly! (And that PVC top was, IIRC, loosely based on then-current riffs derived from pix of Trinity in The Matrix.)
And we close things out with DC's Starman from the James Robinson/ Tony Harris run of yore, though lookin' a tad Grunge-y in my interpretation (hence the "REALLY" bit):
He's sporting the familiar leather jacket I've often drawn from a single photoshoot back in the mid-90s, though from the stylized treatment of the belt I'd guess I wasn't basing this image on specific photoreference this time around.
NEXT TIME ON THIS HERE PATREON: Dunno yet what the content might be, but something should be going up in the next M/W/F slot, never fear!

Cheetah looks nice. I collected Gold Digger forever. I'd collect Empowered forever, too. ^_^

Great to see some early-ish 00's Fred Perry's Cheetah fanart
