Current feels like a generic gathering. Here’s a more detailed one:

I think that's gonna be a bit too unreadable at wikisize I do think current is a bit too close to the one on doujinshi and doesn't have much focus on cosplay as I'd expect (probably because it's more a comiket type event which is very doujin focused rather than cosplay).

Agree with GracieLizzy, would also be nice to have cosplay represented if possible with how this is a big part of many conventions

How about using this image, from the MLP episode, Stranger than Fan Fiction?

Just to point out that current was selected in a thread (Big Bad it's good courtesy to mention any previous threads in the OP):

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=1442655821036786300

I personally lean towards a live action example or for an animated one something that's a bit more immediately obviously set in a fairly "real world" (so I'd personally avoid anything where the characters look fantastical already):

I don't think the current is unillustrative (it shows the 'artist alley' part of cons), and at wikisize OP just looks like a crowd. Same with 9. I was thinking 4 looks a bit too esoteric and I ultimately agree with Gracie that a live-action example would probably be stronger.

13.1 and 13.2 are my favorite so far, shows cosplayers from two different works alongside memorabilia, posters, and 'normal' attendees carrying shopping bags.

[tup] 13.1. for the different fandoms and posters.

But I think you have 12.2. linked wrong. I don't remember Terry Crews being in Galaxy Quest.

13.2. I may have a suggestion from Frasier but I need to look back and see if it's any good (and find a way to access the episode in question).

EDIT: Nope, too low-quality for being from 2001, sorry. Sticking with 13.2.
