okay - here it is. I've made a fairly basic little page to show off potential pieces for the proposed sketchbook. 2 are Wulf's, the other 26 are mine. Some used to be DAL's, others used to be DOOOOM's, others were from ebay, and the rest are from various cons (Houston '89, some 90's San Diego cons, WW TX 03, and WW CHI the last couple years. I'll add more scans as I get / make them and post an update here. You can all email me scans or mail me copies for me to scan, whatever works. Let me know what you think! www.uncannythings.com/vigil/sketchbook.htm

Pretty sweet stuff there, Chris! I like that Harley with the art nouveau border. Reeeaal nice. I also like that White Queen (even though she has a bit of a beer belly going on there!) and Aztec Priestess sketch. Quite a nice collection of convention pieces.

Jai - got your piece, and updated the page with it. The scan is fine, it's a sweet piece. The Nouveau Harley and the White Queen were both from WW TX 03. They're both faves of mine, but I think the best is the Claire watercolor I got from Doooom. That was one of those that when I saw it, I knew I had to have it. Eventually I'll get my published Vigil stuff online too, but when it comes to html, I'm lazy. Also added my sketch from the Faust Hornbook letter 'L' I beat DAL for off ebay. I forgot I hadn't scanned it. Underworld - yep, got a Mustek A3EP scanner...it's slow, and once it a while it screws up the color (you'll see that on a couple of my scans - they need to be redone) but overall I love the scanner. 11x17 is no problem for me now. Paperdragon - if you can, 300 dpi .TIF files, full size. JPGs are ok too, but tif is better. Here's the link again www.uncannythings.com/vigil/sketchbook.htm

I sent a Faust sketch I have. Check if this one is good enough and if everything it's OK for you.

Wow, yeah, that is pretty awesome! Have you ever seen that commission DOOOM had done with Claire holding Faust by a leash? That was incredible. Wonder if he ever sold it.

Just wondering: how many peeps here have contacted you (Chris) in regards to sending you their convention sketches?? And how many total are going to be able to fit in the final book??

Hey Jai, yep, I saw that sweet commission Doom had. I thought about trying to get it too, but I really liked the watercolor more, personally. I am pretty sure either he sold it, or decided not to sell it, as it's not up in his comicartfans gallery anymore. So far I have had myself, you, Wulf, and Voltak send me scans. Darkartlover is supposed to be mailing me copies for me to scan in, as is Lordwitchfog, unless he's just decided to leave. The page count on the book is open, the more cool pieces there are to put in, the bigger the book will be. I'll be doing the layout and such, unless someone else wants to do it, heh.
