Dog Eaters

July 21, 2010 Comicon Preview night

Posted on 07.22.10 12:54AM under Comic Con, cosplay, San Diego Comicon 2010

After picking up our passes, we went back to the hotel for a quick nap. Asked for a wakeup call, but it never came and we ended up getting out of the hotel about 45 minutes late.

Had to give a thumbs up to this pedicab driver.

Another large billboard/poster.

Green Hornet Girls…

Sean O’Reilly, president of my new publisher, Arcana on the left, friend Ken Levin in the middle and Mark of Arcana on the right. All new Black Dog Clan members!

Odin’s throne from the set of “Thor.” People included to give you some idea of scale. It’s about 30 feet wide. Some figures are monumental but quite small. Others are huge. It can give you vertigo.

These figures by Side Show Collectibles are about 10 inches tall.

This miniature gun by Weta, a New Zealand based special effects company that came into prominence with its work with Peter Jackson on Lord of the Rings, is about 5″ long.

I have 4 of the 6 miniatures.

District 9 models by Weta.


More figures by Side Show Collectibles. They have so many awesome figures!

Mink (right) shows how Dust works on the iPad. Paolo is the artist and his pinups are great. Dust is also available on the iPhone.

The comic app used is Comixology, a free app that offers free frame-to-frame transitions — and the panels get expand and contract by spreading your fingers. Creators just provide pdfs suitable for printing.

Figures by Gentle Giant for Zach Snyder’s movie, Sucker Punch. Like Side Show, figures range from miniature to larger-than-life size.

Since it’s Preview Night, not too much to shoot other than artwork — only a few booth babes are about, so here I practice on a Slave Leia.

Crowds waiting to cross the train tracks at 5th St as Preview Night comes to a close.
