Blambo Posted January 30, 2014 Hahahaha and like they're looking at the viewer while fighting so it looks like those medieval paintings where everyone's facing forward and posing but doing something impossible strenuous. Is a PSD ok? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

subbes Posted January 30, 2014 The amount of money left in my Paypal account this evening is almost exactly enough to cover the 6 canvases I've got picked out, plus the one artist consideration I have yet to send. There's just $1 left over, which I will put towards postage for the gift note. It's almost like I planned this fuckin' thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

osmosisch Posted January 30, 2014 Tiny nitpick that should be easy to fix: There should also be two dots on the 'a' in Weinhandler unless you want to imply Nick's a woman. This project is amazing, you guys are amazing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

N1njaSquirrel Posted January 30, 2014 Awesome subbes! That's...an insane amount of consideration. I guess I'm not really surprised that calligraphy is so nuanced but that's granular to a degree I didn't expect! Kinda unhappy with the medals, but this is the latest iteration of Nick: Fucking hell that's amazing. About the medallions though - Don't war vets put their medallions on their coat, on the breast? not on the sash? Maybe it's both? I haven't seen that many war vets to be honest. Maybe it's a british thing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigJKO Posted January 30, 2014 Blambo, I didn't see your Nick before, but now that I've seen it. Stop. You have won the internet. That Nick is FAN-FUCKIN-TASTIC! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dusk Posted January 30, 2014 To the artists and subbes: Just absolutely amazing. Imagine receiving something like this from a bunch of people you (mostly) haven't met. Just blows my mind. Well done guys. That Remo will be my desktop wallpaper without doubt. Umm.. is there ANY way the light in the background of the Breckon portrait can be swirled around to say "fuck" from a certain angle, or maybe if you fold the canvas like one of those old MAD magazine fold-ins.. ?

BigJKO Posted January 30, 2014 God, I'm so excited! subbes, when are you ordering and sending the next batch of artwork? Can't wait to see their reactions. And the note is sent last, I assume? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Justin Leego Posted January 30, 2014 I haven't got to that point in the cast yet, but I make it my mission to deduce whether, via conversational steerings, it was Sneak Peek Lord Boost who knew. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James Posted January 30, 2014 Hey, it's Dusk! I Internet-know that guy! Hi Dusk! Yeah, some sort of hidden "Congrats Nick" would be pretty great. Perhaps something like that anamorphic skull in The Ambassadors, but more subtle. If possible. Witnessing the first stage of the Weird Thing coming to fruition has been a pure delight. I know this project is already more than ridiculous enough, but could it be arranged that the Uncles arrive and are opened first, such that it seems like we did exactly what Jake said in the cast? I guess that doesn't really fit with the letter, though (which is an outstanding touch, incidentally). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigJKO Posted January 30, 2014 Also, subbes.. that handwriting is delicous! Do you do this for a living, or something, holy christ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
atte Posted January 30, 2014 Beautiful letter, Jake the UI design & font lover will certainly appreciate it. Most Famous Player is missing (?) and speaking of famous, if custom sizes aren't a problem Famous portrait could be cropped to 20"h x 14"w (empty space from both sides off to resemble the baseball card more) but it's fine as it is now too.

SecretAsianMan Posted January 30, 2014 This is the craziest, best thing. Everybody's so stinking talented! I can't even begin to imagine what the 15th or 20th anniversary will bring.
