Hello friends of adventure and merriment!

Trying to get back into some work I have to take care of, but I wanted to update because I don't update much at all. I think I last update back in, like, Octoberz?
So how's the holiday shit going for people? I love this time of year, but I know a lot of people just have extreme taste for the false smiles and the elbows to the face while shopping.

Anyone been reading Tales of the Fallen? Thoughts? Thoughts? I didn't do the colors for #3, but I'm in all the other 5 books. I'm excited for Ravage and Arcee to come out- especially Arcee(Tales of the Fallen numbuh 6); I think Mowry and Alex really cranked out the awesome on it(Arcee). I've been in a color-funk for some time, so I don't feel my best work was on that book- but I still love how it turned out :D. I hope you peeps will too!

Who here is going/planning to attend TFcon or Botcon next year? I'm anxious to hear when/where Botcon will be so I can plan for it, but I'm going to TRY and attend TFcon too.
WHICH BRINGS ME TO A QUIGGIDY-QUAGMIRE:
I need some ideas on what to make for prints. I'm going to do postcard-sized prints, standard letter sized prints, and A3(11"x17"?) sized prints and I need some suggestions. If you have any ideas, or a favorite character, or just a favorite continuity, I'd like to hear so I can gather what's "popular" or what's "so obscure, it just might work!".
Diz-Clay-More times!!!:
I appreciate any suggestions, but I intend to make these prints fan-universal: things that the guys and gals of the Transformers Fandom might equally want to buy; so, sorry, that means no: out-of-canon(cartoon/comic/toy) pairings, things that could be considered creepy in a FETISH-type manner, or non-canon(Hasbro-acknowledged) original characters.


If you care to suggest, I'd love to know whether you plan on attending TFcon, Botcon, or both(just to see if there are any "geographically-based Transformers preferences"- that sounds stupid, I know).
This isn't a contest or nothing- it's not a "if I use your idea, you get something!", it's just sort of a "what would you buy a print of?" question. If I see certain answers/characters repeating, then I'll know what to focus on. I'm also going to try and have a bunch of sketchcards for sale, so I'll try to use as many(if not all) characters mentioned.

Thanks to those who suggest, and totally cool if you read this and you're all "PFFT! Whatevs man, yooz a Sonichu, mang", then that works too. No gun to anyone's head. This is my first time wanting to get prints up for sale and I want to make sure I get as much input on this before I put pencil to paper.

TL;DR: blah blah blah suggest Transformers-based ideas for prints blah blah blah nothing that'd make people puke blah blah blah yooz a sonichu blah blah.</i>

Totally late for the party but I'd say if you ant popular and something that will sell, I say The Autobot and Decepticon 'chain of comand' tends to be very popular.

Anything with Starscream, Soundwave (Or alternatively Shockwave, though Soundwave tends to be a little more profitable) and Megatron should sell well in the Decepticon front. Optimus Prime is always a seller, so I don't think I need to mention him. On the other hand you can always have characters such as Hot Rod/Rodimus and Ultra Magnus (TFA Magnus is very popular) or alternatively Prowl, Jazz or Ironhide. Though I think Jazz is the most profitable.

Ratchet, the twins and Wheeljack are also popular characters.

The TFA Seekers and Jet twins are also very popular, specially with the female fans, but I cannot tell how much the twins are with the male population. For something more obscure I'd suggest Sentinel Prime from Megatron Origins, He's a known character but there's very little work of him to be found. Dinobot and BW Inferno are also seemingly general fan favorites. There's also Chromia, Firestar, Moonracer and Elita that do have very little work of profesional quality, but I do not know how good sellers they could be. (Personally I'd definitelly get stuff from Chromia).

As for going to the cons, living in Mexico means a big expenditure to go to any TF con. I intend to make it to Botcon, but if it cannot make it, I have a couple of friends that are going and intend on passing them a sum to get me as much Prowl or Jazz stuff as possible. So,if you happen to have anything of either of them to sell, my friends are likely going to pick it for me.
