shammack Posted January 19, 2014 If we go over, we should get two of them, one with a plaque that says Jake Rodkin and another that says J Allard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
subbes Posted January 19, 2014 OK, so, basically, here's my idea for the add-on. I would like to send a Nick Breckon portrait. But here's the bit I hope is funny - I want the Nick Breckon portrait to be much, much, much smaller than the Video Games portrait. Like, postcard size. Maybe, if I can find a place that will frame it and add a plaque, with a plaque that is bigger than the portrait itself. Please tell me whether this is a funny idea. I may actually be hysterical from being in a near-constant panic attack for approaching 100 hours now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blambo Posted January 19, 2014 makes sense i can paint a breckon if there is a good picture of one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
subbes Posted January 19, 2014 If we go over, we should get two of them, one with a plaque that says Jake Rodkin and another that says J Allard. If we go over by another $200, I can get a second one with a plaque, but the one I already ordered doesn't have a plaque and canvaspop doesn't offer them. Blambo: Nick basically looks like John Q Video Games. Which is odd, since Jake is Video Games, so Nick looks like John Q Jake Rodkin? (Nick is quite a normal looking white guy with brown hair and is of medium build and height.) In a previous edit I suggested Nick had brown eyes, but shammack (my husband) disagreed, saying Nick has blue eyes, and then - and this is the scary bit - said I can check tomorrow at work Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

subbes Posted January 19, 2014 Oh, er, yeah, Shammack works at TTG so I'm guessing he'll go to work tomorrow and go over to Nick's desk and stand there for 5 minutes, just gazing into Nick's eyes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gormongous Posted January 19, 2014 Oh, er, yeah, Shammack works at TTG so I'm guessing he'll go to work tomorrow and go over to Nick's desk and stand there for 5 minutes, just gazing into Nick's eyes If he wants to take a bunch of pictures of Nick and then pin them all over a random wall, I'll pitch in for the yarn to tie between the pins.

Justin Leego Posted January 19, 2014 Yes. It would be funny. (Should the thread name be changed to include C/FNB as well?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ben X Posted January 19, 2014 OK, so, basically, here's my idea for the add-on. "Stretch-goal". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shibboleth Posted January 19, 2014 If there is another painting can it it please include Kotick and Allard? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blambo Posted January 19, 2014 so... tinybreckon or rich uncle/cool uncle? ...or both? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
subbes Posted January 19, 2014 I'm not sure what your question means, Blambo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blambo Posted January 19, 2014 Will "stretch goals" include a small portrait of Nick or large one of Kotick and Allard? I can do either Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
subbes Posted January 19, 2014 Unfortunately I can't find anywhere that can do my idea (take a digital image, print and frame it and add a plaque). Small stretch: Small Nick canvas - 10" h by 8" w: $30 + s/h. I can increase the size of this if we pass $30, up to our... Big stretch: Kotick/Allard diptych. The smallest size diptych available is 2 x 24"h by 18"w, and that's $125 without s/h. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tegan Posted January 20, 2014 I really hope they hang it up somewhere where, it's always visible in streams, like how Giant Bomb has a clearly-visible framed and edge-lit copy of this in every video where you see them on the couch. http://i.imgur.com/whMfY.jpg Also, I wanna' try my hand at one of these now.
