Okay, last of the art flood upload! These badges come from all over 2022, -Furrydelphia, Furry Weekend Atlanta, and Megaplex. Lots of fun for all of these but I'm rather proud particularly of the way I incorporated Metro's name on the badge.
To save time I'm not going to go through all the research of discovering and linking all the FA accounts that are represented here; you guys are all awesome but I don't have enough time to do that for every upload these days. If you see yourself here though please comment below and I'll edit the post with your links!

That's a subject that I've been talking about a lot at the conventions actually. At any other show you go to, sci-fi, comic book, or anime convention you go to the folks behind the table because of the projects and ideas *they're* known for. In contrast at a furry convention it's the people who approach the tables that have all the content; it's THEIR ideas and characters that they want to see the people behind the table bring to life. That's pretty cool if you ask me. I get so many different ideas and concepts that I never would have thought of that way.
The Metro badge is pure awesomeness, not least of which because it's actually meant to be better viewed at a small distance, such as looking at someone wearing it as a badge!
What impresses me is the wide range of lettering styles you used for each name, not two even remotely similar. All according to the needs of the badge and the character. Bravo to that, it's absolutely a lost skill.

Thank you! The Metro badge was a keen thing based on various movies of big monsters stomping through cities with the camera located somewhere in a nearby tall building looking on to give a big sense of scale. I'd been hoping that even if I didn't make the best effort in drawing the scale that the audience collective memory of such scenes would bridge the gap and you'd see both my art and your mind's eye memory of what other scenes looked like in similar arrangements.
I'm glad you noticed the font and lettering work. I've always delighted in that sort of thing but as the years have gone by when I have the time I try to do something a little different when I can just to make things more fun rather than doing the same thing over and over again.

I am a very slight font geek, and thus notice when people apply those skills, including hand-lettering. I've tried it myself and failed, but it has only helped me appreciate even more those who do it well! (and not be too harsh on those who don't - only on those who clearly didn't even try.)
