More Fun at the 2011 NY Comic Con

The following gallery of shots is from days 2-4 of last weekend's enormous NY Comic Con at Manhattan's Jacob Javits Center, and they show Jimmy and Amanda in the midst of meeting and greeting with the fans while absorbing the adulation of their public. Also, you get to see several instances of Amanda's celebrated drawing skills as demonstrated live, so check these out:

No lazy doodlin' there!

In progress: an A.C. Power Girl sketch.

An historical note: this is Greg Wright the editor who gave Amanda her fist job at Marvel back in the days. You have him to thank for introducing our girl to the majors.

From start to finish: Amanda draws Power Girl for a longtime fan.








Voila! The finished piece.

Another ultra-pleased fan with his newly-minted piece of original art.

And the moment the Power Girl piece was done, it was time for a media interview. Ah, popularity...




With closing time on the show's final day fast approaching, A.C. sketches the Black Canary for a fan.




Note the white highlights around the Canary's gloves so the viewer can clearly see the black gloves as separate from the equally black suit.

The finished piece.

The finished piece and the happy fan: the perfect coda to an epic convention appearance.

  4. That is the best Jimmy Olsen has even looked, and I can't believe it's actually mine. It really is my highlight of the entire con. Amanda is just too much awesome.

  5. @Giant Squid, Amanda's output varied from drawing to drawing and the relative complexity thereof, but I would say probably between seven and nine per day. I'll ask her and get back to you.
