LBCC 2010: Amanda Conner sketch project

Hey, look! It's Amanda Conner!
So, Long Beach Comic Con is this weekend and I need your help, Comic Impact fans!
You see, of the many talented…talents that will be in attendance the one I’m most excited for is artist Amanda Conner. Conner is famous for her recent run on Power Girl and has also been doing covers for Marvel’s Black Cat mini lately. I’m a really big fan of hers, she draws fantastic women, and I’m dying for a convention sketch/commission from her. My problem is…I don’t know what to ask for.
My normal method of getting convention sketches is to ask the artist do draw a character that they aren’t usually known for, but a character that I’d really like to see their interpretation of. My original idea was to get Conner to draw Atom Eve from Image’s Invincible for me. But, then I got to thinking…you see, I have a variant copy of New Avengers #1 that has the plain white cover that Hero Initiative has been getting artists to do sketches on for charity. I would really like to get a cool sketch on that and who better for the cover of New Avengers than one of my favorite Marvel heroines, Ms. Marvel? So, I decided, “Why not leave it up to the fine followers of Comic Impact?”
That’s your job, oh loyal readers. Let me know what I should do: sketchbook sketch of Atom Eve, or variant cover sketch of Ms. Marvel or should I let Amanda make the decision? Vote!

Ask her to see if she can draw both characters for you.But if I had to chose I would pick Mrs. Marvel. That a no brainer for me. She looks WAY more beautiful then Atom Eve. Hopefully Amanda Conner can draw Mrs. Marvel the same way she looks like from this pic.
Cheers

Well, I’m going for a commission not just a sketch. Commissions are usually at least $60 so while she might be ok with doing both I don’t think my wallet would be.
I hope that her Ms. Marvel (if she wins) looks way different from the Frank Cho version above! That would be a big disappointment if I paid all that $ for a commission and it just looks like a copy of another persons work.

Atom Eve without a doubt. There are too many big breasted blonde bimbos as there is! It’d be just like seeing her draw Power Girl
