Today’s sketch is from my own collection.  Richard Harrison Green once worked for Disney, producing art of Lumiere for Beauty and the Beast and Bernard and Bianca from The Rescuers Down Under.

He drew this gorgeous Belle for me.

To re-kick things off, we’ve got a sketch I got from Tom Hodges of Darth Vader in profile. I actually got it as an incentive for ordering his Sketches2 book. He does great work and is the regular artist of The Clone Wars webcomics that appeared on the official Star Wars website.

This week we have something slightly different. Although it’s not from a con, it’s about a con. Erin Kubinek (who is Bizarrobot on Big Shiny Robot!) drew the cover to my new novel and this was a preliminary sketch from it. You can check out more of Erin’s art on her own website, and you can preorder copies of the book here.

So this is an unused cover concept for “Lost at the Con”:

It’s a little hard to believe we’ve done 26 of these, but here we are.

This week, Sean Leslie from the Wednesday Warriors podcast sent in this sketch of Thor he had done by Olivier Coipel at Comic Con ’09.

I thought it was fitting since Thor comes out this week and I expect every single one of you to get out to see it. It’s a really incredible film.

This week, Sean Leslie from the Wednesday Warriors podcast sent in this sketch of Catwoman from Cameron Stewart.

It’s time for this week’s issue of Convention Sketches.

Every week we feature a convention sketch sent in from readers or from our own collections. We’d love to see more of yours though: if you have a sketch you’d like to see featured on the site, please email it to editor (at) bigshinyrobot.com

This week, we have one from my daughter’s personal collection. Yesterday, we went to Tom Hodges‘ signing at Dr. Volts in Salt Lake City where he was selling books (like the Star Wars: Tales from The Clone Wars webcomic collection that I can’t seem to find online anywhere.

My daughter asked for a sketch of Jar Jar Binks and Tom obliged happily, drawing the much beloved (by children) Gungan without reference.
