Jesse Quick by E.J. Morges. Ed did this for me at the signing at Squiggy's Dugout yesterday.
Three sketches and a preliminary sketch from Viola Tanganelli.
Guardian Cosmos, a minor character from the end of the Sailor Moon manga.
Giselle "Danse" Dvorak from Jem.
Arsenal and Lightning Lad as a couple of big beautiful men and ribbing each other about it. (I like BBM art)
A preliminary piece Vi did to see if she got Roy's size right or I wanted him bigger. He's peeved because Lian switched his shaving cream with whipped cream.

Damnit! Here too! Ugh. Sorry guys. I'm gonna start relying more on photobucket and DA when I post stuff here. Anyway...
This is a digital commission from Paura Marrero on DA. After the previous Roy & LL piece from Viola Tanganelli, I got in a short discussion with another DA member named Xiaoniao. She suggested that Donna was responsible for Roy's weight gain because of he can't get enough of her cooking. With her permission to use the idea I commissioned Paura to draw it because she's done Roy and Donna pieces for Xiao before.

So I just finished this piece based on Joe Quesada's Marvel NOW promo shot. Trying to get my foot in the door for doing Legion Commissions (well any art commissions but I love the Legion). Hoping whoever buys this one will want a companion piece to go with featuring the rest of the team. What do y'all think?
Since NYCC was this weekend I'm now going to show off the Legion sketches I got, including a Legion World sketch after such a long absence of them. However, I got more Lightning Lad sketches than I thought I would, and I'm including a finished LL sketch I was waiting for from Viola Tanganelli.
The first sketch I got was my very first Kent Shakespeare piece. I got it from Greg Scott Bailey, a facebook friend who is trying to promote his own series, Mock Tales. I asked him to draw Kent in his Legion Cadet outfit. Travis Ellisor thinks I'm the first who's commissioned this outfit.
I got my very first versus piece from Jeremy Dale. I asked him to draw the 3Boot Timber Wolf fighting Sumo Timber Wolf, since 3Boot Brin is the one he was based on.
A couple of days later, Jeremy did a quick headsketch of one of the unnamed Legion cadets. I chose the white-skinned girl Chris Batista described as "based on Livewire from the Superman cartoon, but with spectral powers". I gave her the name Blank Slate.
Robert Lilly, Mike Lilly's son, did another Youth of Tomorrow sketch card for me. KIT-10, a version of Brainiac 5. Though I admit I forgot this and assumed he was based on Ferro Lad.
Bobby Timony did another of the League of Super-Teens for me. He chose Super Nazi Fighter, whom I imagined as cross between Andromeda, Power Girl, and Donner from the Shadow Cabinet.
Jerry Gaylord did a quick sketch of Jo Nah flexing in his sketchbook.
Scott Kolins did a quick sketch of XS for me on the last day of the con.

Amy Reeder did a quick sketch of our very own Leap Year Lass!
I finally got a full figure sketch from Sean Chen this year. I asked him to draw the unnamed speedster woman from the Legion Academy, whom Rats Nest micro heroes refers to as "Balm". The name Balm sort of implies she's actually a plant woman, and her hair may actually be aromatic fumes she exudes and spreads as she runs.
I managed to meet Barry Kitson for the first time, and asked him to due a quick head sketch of Umbra, dedicated to Candle.
Now, the Garth Ranzz collection. Three head sketches, one torso sketch, and one, heh, full-figured sketch.
First is a quick head sketch of cartoon Garth by Chris Batista.
Then a quick sketch of cartoon Garth from Cat Staggs.
Joe Prado did a quick sketch of cartoon Garth in his new sketchbook. I like how he added an earring.
He then did a torso sketch of Garth in the Dave Cockrum costume, after I'd been promising he could do that one for, like, ever.
The last one isn't from NYCC. This was part of my latest commission batch from Viola Tanganelli. I asked her to do a big beautiful man piece of Garth alone. Here he is as a husky farm boy, after a hard day of work on the Ranzz-Ardeen plantation. I just love how happy and relaxed he looks.
Now I'm just waiting for an Element Lad commission from Colleen Doran.

You always get some great stuff, SK!. I especially like Kitson's Umbra and Prado's Garth. Husky Garth is fun. Please share the Doran commission when you get it.

Prado's Garth took a few days to complete. I was going crazy because both of my big sketchbooks were being held. It was actually Joe's birthday this Monday. At the convention I gave him a couple of gifts, both a birthday AND Christmas gift,
I was hoping to see Barry at the con but I missed him the first three days. I gave up hope until I realized someone had gotten a sketch from him at the artist's choice booth. Thank God there wasn't a line. I asked for Umbra because Candle has always told me if she could commission Barry she'd want Umbra or M'onel.
Husky Garth was part of my latest Tanganelli batch. I specified that I wanted Garth to be healthy looking and beefy, as in still muscular with broad shoulders but with a big belly. After all the pieces concerning a stocky Roy Harper I finally wanted to get one of Garth alone.

I tried to talk to Scott about XS appearing at some point, but he said there weren't any plans he was aware of at the moment.
I was lucky to get the Leap Year Lass sketch from Amy. She wasn't taking commissions at the show, but she was doing quick sketches when she was signing stuff at the booths in the dealer rooms.
