***** update: NOT SO GREEN LIT AFTER ALL ***** 07.11.08
sorry everyone. looks like the powers that be have decided to not show the pinup that i uploaded a few days ago, after all. so i've had to pull the image off. hopefully i'll get the green light to it a bit later and will be able to show the pinup again. sorry for any inconvenienced caused. thanks for all the comments posted btw. sorry i didn't get a chance to response to it before the deviation got pulled but i did manage to read all the comments. so thanks again for all the great comments. more updates soon.
***** update: APOLOGIES AND TWITTER ***** 03.11.08
hi everyone, i think i'll keep this journal entry up for a while longer cause there has been so many great suggestions for the MARKER MADNESS, it would seem a shame if i update the journal and all the comments get stored in the archive somewhere. and since NYCC is coming up again soon, as soon as i have a moment to spare, i will be back on MARKER MADNESS to churn out as many suggestions as possible. please keep 'em coming if u have any more ideas.
anyways, quick apologies for the lackness of updates. i've been completely flat out jumping from one deadline to the next without a moments breath and wow, 5 months have passed since. so sorry about that. the good news is because of my hiatus for the last 5 months, i've accumulated a truck load of artworks that i will try and upload for ur weekly viewing pleasure. that's the aim anyways.
and lastly, thanks to recommendations from mr. templesmith, i am now on twitter. so for anyone that's interested, please click
twitter.com/andie_t**** update: THANKS EVERYONE!
back from the cons. had a brilliant time. been to another one in bristol since coming back from NY. thanks heaps for all the suggestions. i will def be goin thru em' slowly but surely. just trying to juggle all that inbetween my crazy hecticness of deadlines. will update everyone when i have more sketches to show. in the meantime, i got a couple of colour commissions scanned back to me since the cons so i'll be uploading them here. back soon, talk soon!
*** update: MARKER MADNESS ON HOLD
back to work unfortunately for me and prepping for NY comic con next weekend. so any MARKER MADNESS suggestions will resume after the con. but please continue to send suggestions in as i won't be stopping until after the convention season is over which is around october 2008!

so, if anyone's been watching my gallery, i've been updating about a marker madness sketch a day. currently i've got a list of characters i wanna do but maybe u guys can offer some suggestion on what u'd like to see me sketch up first. i'm basically doing these sketches in preparation to sell at the cons. i'm hoping it saves some time, if a particular sketch is already drawn, they can simply pick it up instead of waiting for me to sketch it out at the shows.
also feel free to suggest some characters on the list i haven't got but it has to be popular enough so that fans will like it enough to consider buying.
i've also gotta throw in some grayscale in the mix just to mix it up a bit. so please suggest ur character, and then whether u wanna see it in colour or grayscale.
FROM DC
powergirl (altho already sketched, i am so unhappy with it, i'm considering redoing it, maybe in grayscale)
huntress
batgirl (barbara gordon)
catwoman
black canary
supergirl
superman
batman
FROM MARVEL
wolverine
ironman (cause the movie's about to hit)
OTHERS
snakeeyes (cause the movie's about to hit)
kasumi from DOA
major motoko kusanagi from ghost in the shell
cloud from final fantasy VII
street fighter (any suggestions of which character)
star wars (any suggestions of which character)
ren sonja
hellboy (cause the movie's about to hit)
witchblade
tomb raider
so whoever hits me first, i will draw next. and then the next, etc, etc. until i'm busy again with deadlines or i'm out of time.
thanks everyone.
*edit*
thanks heaps everyone for participating in this little marker madness of mine!
but just heard back from my editor. so it looks like its back to work for me to meet deadlines. but hopefully i'll try for one piece of sketch a day before i start work everyday. hopefully! finger's crossed.
so keep the suggestions coming as i got a few more cons to attend for the rest of the year. convention season doens't finish til october for me so i may still get to reach ur suggested character! YAH!
