Description Over the next year, I'm going to go full contastic - and I'll need to have a banner at my table to bring in those who love the cute!

I admit to not really knowing what I'm doing here. Getting my characters to act nicely is hard everywhere, much less in a vertical space!

Gotta love these kids and after reading the comics, I have to say that seeing them acting nicely is SCARY.
Oh and would you mind if I drew these little... "angels"?

You can make art with my characters. Just be reasonable with that freedom. If you do draw something, make sure you tell me about it!

Will do. I currently have a sketch of Autumn but have yet to scan it in

I'm telling you, it's all a con! They're scanning you!

Honestly. They are. With those faces, they've got to be.

First thing I think after seeing your banner is "It's a trap!" But I have to agree with Tekaramity, you might want to display some more of their character for people who haven't read the comic.

Oh, whoa. You really are a master! Some lettering would be cool, too!

I'd recommend some sort of tagline or motto or something to say what the story is about. I'm going to guess 50% if con-goers won't really know the definition of "Precocious."

Yeah, I couldn't decide what text to use, so I just threw up the blank version. I can put text in the gap by Tiffany's hand (although the hand does get in the way), up by the title (which can be moved up, if needed) and create a box at the bottom of the banner, covering Autumn's feet, if I want to. (Obviously, this design can change radically before the final is set.)

And, lawd, it's so very true that no one knows what "Precocious" means. That saddens me so.

You want them to act nicely? I mean, they've grown significantly since the start of the comic - softened, bit by bit, several times - but they're still the Sapphire Lake bunch. Perhaps a second banner depicting their mad scientific almost-genius would serve you well. While I'm rather fond of their softer moments, there's no denying that much of their popularity stems from their wilder roots. (That, of course, and Tiff's exceeding cuteness.)

Anyhow, art's looking pretty fabulous; indeed, based on visual appeal of the character alone, I'd certainly wander over to your table if I'd no prior idea what Precocious is. Very fitting, actually, that Autumn's smile is disarming, Bud's is anticipative, Jacob's is calmest, and Tiffany's is hiding something everything.

They act nice to lure you in. Then they strike and take your money!

Autumn, sure. Bud would likely jump at the chance to Zdeno Chara his way to an overbearing victory, rather than toss up a facade at all. Tiffany doesn't need to "act" nice, seemingly; her whimsies merely include the right to topple naivety at every waking moment. At least Jacob would give the money back after it's all over. I'm still not convinced the kid has any real evil in him, merely an unquenchable curiosity and (no lie) vivacity. He's just a bit, ah...loopy. And easily influenced. Like me!

I wonder if their parents have tried to get them to act nicely in a vertical space
it seems surprisingly effective
