Here’s a fun one.
Back in 2013, Phoenix Fan Fusion (back when it was still Phoenix Comic Con) held a contest where fans could make the entry badge designs.
I figured I’d try my hand at it, so I downloaded their templates and did this drawing of The Maxx, against a wall of Isz.

I don’t recall why, but this year they had two different orientations for the badges. Maybe one was attendees, one was exhibitors/guests? I can’t recall. Anyhow, I cropped the image and put it on the tall badge style as well:

I didn’t win and it’s been 9 years, so I figure it’s safe for me to post these here now.
