This year, I've decided to tarnish TFCON Chicago (October 21st-23rd, at the Hyatt Regency: http://www.tfcon.com/) with my presence. I haven't done an American convention since 2009, and I've had two whole Wreckers series come out since then, so I figured I should at least apologise for my absence in person.
As it stands, I'm NOT a guest of the show, just a regular exhibitor/vendor/journeyman type, but the reaction I've had at some European shows in the wake of Sins Of The Wreckers release led me to decide that now is definitely a good time to take the plunge. I've just heard too many good things about the event, and who knows when I'll have enough robot heat again to warrant a visit to one of these shindigs. So, I'm very much looking forward to meeting my fellow IDW creators, and all of you nice folks who chat with me on Twitter, and buy my comics, etc...
I'm there throughout the whole weekend (might have to nip off an hour early on the Sunday for my flight, we'll see) and will have lots of prints (including my MTMTE cast shots) and even original artwork on display and for sale. My current experience of these events is that I haven't got much - if any - time to sketch AT the convention itself. If I can take on sketch requests at TFCon itself that I can guarantee to finish on time without mailing them out, I surely will. But the likelihood is that these commission slots here are all I can be sure of completing, so roll up! Here's how you can get your hands on some tailor-made Nick Roche robot (or otherwise) art!

I've always wanted to meet like-minded people in a Chicago hotel, so help me make my dream come true. See you there!

Welcome back to the US Nick! :D
Hey Nick!
This is Anna again! I absolutely ADORED the tarantulas headshot you did at TFN, so much so, would it be possible for a companion piece w/ SOTW Prowl? Like him facing the left and holding a mug too. But the mug instead says "#1 Dad" but with the #1 crossed out.
I'll be volunteering so I'll be around all three days for pickup! Thanks again for your great work!!

Hope this is cool! Thanks in advance!
Hi hi :>! Sara Pitre-Durocher here. I'd love a headshot of Tailgate being happy and adorable please ;o; I'll be there the whole 3 days as well. Thank you!
Hi Nick, glad we'll get to see you there!
Haven't seen you in ages, but I'll finally have a chance to pick up the headshot of happy Snare from AA (paid at show with understanding of pick-up later) in person.
If a new commission for this con would be OK in addition to picking up an old one, I'd like to go with a headshot of a happy Tarantulas this time (whatever that entails).
I'll be there all days for pick-up.
Thank you!

Tarantulas
I'll be there all three days
Thanks in advance, looking forward to meeting you :D
Hi Nick! Thanks for coming to Chicago, and opening commissions.
In my not-so-stealth effort to have the Art Gods illustrate my fanfic magnum opus [muahaha] I’d like a headshot of Optimus Prime, but with NO faceplate. He looks a touch awkward without it; just a regular guy. If you can include this in a headshot, he's got this symbol http://ha-heeprime.deviantart.com/art/All-Are-One-Icon-162047727 on a chain around his neck (It's what the faceplate has been forged into. He can even be sort of holding the bot/con sigil halfway over his face, cause he still feels a bit nekkid. You know that half grin you do when you feel awkward but know it's sill y to feel awkward? That.
Thanks again! I shall shower you with cash at TFcon!!

I should be around all weekend to pick it up, but Friday and Saturday most likely. Thank you!
