Description
My original take on the AVcon poster and mascot design, with a fantasy take on the 'Heroes and Villains' theme. I still have to fix the typing and lettering later, so the finished version should be more polished than the ones here.And if anyone's wondering about Ayvee's weird looking shield, it's based on a spaceship to try and complement the 'space invaders' logo. The rest of her design is pretty 'classical' anime Valkyrie look.
As for Switch, I just wanted to give him some manscaping. So he's got pecs. And contact lenses (not visible, of course) instead of the goggles.
Prints will be available at Adelaide's AVcon (25-26 July 09), so swing by if you have the chance.

Yes! I'm all for saving Switch from his days of being an off-the-shelf bishie.
Great work

Very cool picture, but why do leathery wings always equal evil and feathered automatically means good?

I think it's just the classical association to the images of angels and demons - angels have feathery bird wings and demons have leathery bat wings.
However, not all feathery wings are directly associated with good - fallen angels and demons often have feathery wings that are ragged and/or black, in this case the good/evil association is achieved through colour.
As for leathery wings, well, bats and reptiles aren't exactly associated with 'good' in most cultures, unlike feathery wings which one can associate with more 'elegant' birds like swan (white) or eagle (brown).

I don't know.
Bats eat nearly their body weight in mosquitos every night where I am from, a very good thing in my book.
The biggest thing I see birds do is taking a crap on my car, not so good.
Besides physically speaking mammals, like humans, could theoretically sprout leathery wings more easily then feathered, and I want wings of my own

Yes, but in the view of ancient mythologies, birds such as swans, hawks, and eagles represent strength and beauty, whereas bats, with their rat-like face and nocturnal habit are far scarier to those people who, after all, believe in vampires, witches, and flat earth.
Theoretically I don't think we can really sprout wings as extra limbs, but over the course of evolution if it is somehow advantageous then in a few million years our arms may become wings (just like birds and bats , we can only have 4 limbs). But then we'll have difficulties using chopsticks, since most of our fingers have become a part of our wings.
But I do agree that if we do have wings it will most likely be leathery - the biggest possibility of feathery wings come from evolution of hair into feathers, and we don't really have that much hair compared to other animals.

True it is hard to argue with that much history and myth.
I agree on the feathers requiring more hair to work with, but as for extra limbs....
Who says I don't plan to cheat
