Description This was already a filler on my website ( egscomics.com ), but I'm uploading it here as well as it's part 3 of 4 of my images done for a class.

The background and foreground are the same photograph, but I darkened the back for greater contrast. There is also a shadow on the foreground to make Grace appear more natural behind the table.

The EGS books and grace images were added using the vanishing point tool in Photoshop. The layers were set to multiply, and I put layers with grey values similar to the books / images they were covering to make the lighting match the rest of the image.

The books and displays were originally for John Troutman, so out of respect to him, linkage to Flintage .

I'm not sure which frightens me more--the thought of Grace in a dealers' room at a con, or what will happen once she discovers the fact that three booths over, they have...



 POCKY!!!

Ah damn it! I can't really hide it anymore. Grace is one of my favorite characters (only one who can tie with her is Ted), I don't care if she is considered a Mary Sue by some. She is just so adorable.

Note: Never give squirrel-people sugar before inviting them to work at your table at a convention. They may attack customers with hugs.


Great picture.

anythingxbutxnormal [2008-05-22 17:49:39 +0000 UTC]

Yeeeeee! Grace looks very adorable (as usual) in this picture! I read El Goonish Shive a while back, lost the website link, then finally found it a few months ago at random chance. I finished reading it, and now am currently RE-reading the comic just because I loved it so much! I adore your work, and youre plots and character designs/personas are brilliant. I find myself visiting every other day in hopes that a new comic strip is posted.

I probably sound like a ridiculous and scary fan-girl. :\ Oh dear...

NeuroticNarwhal [2008-02-09 03:57:55 +0000 UTC]

She certainly looks... - ish.

Yes, I think -ish is the most appropriate adjective for that expression.

Tis good.

I WOULD SO TOTALLY BUY EVERYTHING AT THE BOOTH.

I WOULD HAND GRACE A $100 BILL FOR EVERY ITEM AND GO "LOL, KEEP THE CHANGE".
If I could, by the way.
