Description The final artwork for the AVCON poster, it's a drawing of the two avcon mascots, Ayvee and Switch. This 'official' version is actually toned down and purpled a bit, with my original colour scheme invovlving a lot more red, firey tones.

I DID NOT do the character design, I just drew them based on the design I was given, however I did try to make them look a bit halfway between an anime and an american comic character especially in terms of body proportions. In a way it was a good thing, since the original design was quite simple it was a lot quicker to paint than any design I would've come up with.

I did do the mecha design (which is quite obviously based on my favourite mecha anime), and with the mecha I basically designed and posed it based on the available space. The area of 'minimal detail' on the top and right hand section (such as the robot's left feet) are where the various informations and sponsor logos are going to be placed.

Nice composition and concept , I just saw your design at Pulp Fiction and I WANTED to find out who drew it.
I do like it, I just find the angel wings a bit weird . The mecha does look awesome anywho.

Thanks, but I didn't do the design, I simply did the wings as "halfway between organic and mechanical" as requested - hence it's "plastic" instead of feathers.

Wow, I never knew the wings were not suppose to be real life sort of wings :<. I find that to be a sort of weird request XD. Still good job anywho, you did the composition and the colouring very beautifully.

Maybe they want to make it easier for future cosplayers - although have anyone actually cosplay as the Avcon mascots?

I think the idea is that she's a superhero, not a mutant =]

Think Hawkgirl where the wings are artificial but grant the ability to fly.

I remember one year the girl who created them dressed as her female character. But I don't think anyone else has .
