VINTAGE CON SKETCHES: '92-'94 BUBBLEGUM CRISIS commissions ahoy!
Added 2023-06-05 13:01:00 +0000 UTCBehold, fresh off the scanner, here are a quartet of Bubblegum Crisis-related con sketches from the thrilling yesteryears of 1992 through 1994. I scanned these from rather crappy photocopies, so the repro quality is rather less than ideal; nonetheless, I think you can just barely make out that all of 'em were, I believe, drawn on the linen-finish paper I favored for con sketches back in the day.
The first piece, clearly commissioned at A-Kon in Texas, features Largo from the original Bubblegum Crisis OAV series' episode 6 (Red Eyes) facing off with Gally/ Alita from Gunmm/ Battle Angel Alita:
Note the bonus Shampoo from Ranma 1/2 in feline form holding up the sign at bottom. Golly!
Next up, a trio of more straightforward images of hardsuited BGC heroines:
Oddly, the '92 piece worked out better than the next year's Priss:
Can't win 'em all, folks; whoops!
And finally, ol' Sylia:
"Konya wa hurricane," indeed!
NEXT TIME ON THIS HERE PATREON: No idea, TBH, but something should be coming up in the next M/W/F slot. Let's find out together, shall we?

No plans at present, alas.

2023-06-05 19:15:12 +0000 UTCActually, Grand Mal is available at least semi-legally though Animeigo (the US licensor for the anime)'s website, which hosts a PDF through their wiki as part of their Data Archive. By semi-legally, I assume that Animeigo would have asked somebody's permission given that they're an official licensor, but for all I know they just Yolo'd it and figured the nightmarish licensing issues would prevent anybody from suing them.

2023-06-05 19:12:07 +0000 UTCNice; I couldn't have remembered that character's name off the top of my head if my g-d life depended on it.

2023-06-05 17:57:37 +0000 UTCIn fact, I did! My miniseries BUBBLEGUM CRISIS: GRAND MAL came out in 1994 but, alas, will never see a reprinting due to nightmarish licensing issues.
