Diplocon I

Description

Diplocon is a college sponsored Anime/Gaming convention at a little known Lancaster college called Franklin & Marshall. It's been held once a year, usually sometime around Halloween, for the past four years.

When the convention was just a twinkle in our fearless leader's eye, I was asked (as the only art student in our geeky gang) to come up with a mascot/logo. The popular vote was from something with tentacles but since we were trying to get school funding, I wasn't sure how appropriate that would be. So I compromised. Thus Danny the alligator (no. He is not a dinosaur) and Oliver the plushie octopus (cause plushies are so much less threatening than live animals. ^.~ ) were born.

Late 2005, I posted the first ever drawing of this little guy chomping on a giant letter 'D'. This is my second attempt and the drawing that made it onto the cover of our programs. I have to admit. I was really quite proud of this when I first finished it. Now....well...I can see that I've improved a lot since then.
