DISPLAY ROOM

This served for both fan art (contest and auction) and toys. It was
two segments of the windowside of RiverCentre, with lots of natural
light. The folding partitions were carpeted, but not padded; no
good for thumbtacks. (One enterprising fem managed to hang a
quilt/tapestry by weaving paperclips into the pile, however.)
Display space consisted of folding tables and a few easels; thus,
most of the 2D art was lying flat, with the name/title tags
especially difficult to read. (Warning to future artists: bring
your own self-supporting display devices.)

A partial list of entries:

Dioramas: Blackarachnia in a box. Polar Claw buried in the sand
being menaced by Megarex.

3D: Some repaints of oversized Aerialbot knockoffs. Repainted
Powerpinch. An original non-transforming horseshoe crab figure.
"Yarnmasters" of Skyfire, Blitzwing, Chromia/car. Omnicrom and that
huge blue Scorponok kitbash from Rugby's Starbase. My own papier-
mache _Nemesis_. Some candles with 'Bot and 'Con sigils. Some
female Autobots rendered in lumpy plasticine.

2D color: Depthcharge as "Holy Diver" (winner). Illustrations for
the fanfic "Maelstrom." "Megatron Technical Readout" (Megarex
cross-section) Various comic covers and SD (superdeformed, i.e.
big-headed) figures. Scourge and Cillacon's Jettara-the-female-
Sweep.

2D B&W: "Surrounded" (winner). A bunch of fanfic illos for some
crossover involving Disney's "Gargoyles" and a cat. 

Computer-generated or -aided: "Decepticon Group shot" and several
fan characters, all by someone - X? Xiphos?
