lol, Vlieg!

**dragon4lunch** · November 6th, 2006, 12:27 PM

Hey Oblio, the huge bold headline probably is supposed to say "Multi Topic" with and "l", yes?

Text Man fonts, resizes, and formats his foes' defeat! Not sure what this is supposed to be. Is he a guy who sits at a desk and designs fonts?

**Oblio** · November 6th, 2006, 12:35 PM

thx dragon.
i do these between job tasks and as we deliver for x-mass it's kinda hell here.
I don;t have time to read what i write not to mention checkspell.
check the 3D forum too - vote the 3D side of the chow#44.

text man - i think it's a kind of superhero... that transforms you into fonts... etc... or maybe it's a man made of text... or .. hey.. that guy smokes a lot of .. fresh air.. all his topics are .. a bit . .blazing

**jackenstein** · November 6th, 2006, 01:22 PM

I'm gonna try and go for the Shemale.

Then again...don't we all?

**Woodlandwalker** · November 6th, 2006, 01:46 PM

wow.. what topics!... textman still seems a bit vague... but that could be good to... ill hold off on the bearded lady and try my hand at a not so nice fairy

**Supervlieg** · November 6th, 2006, 02:26 PM

Wow, I never thought the Shemale bastard would make it. Sounds like fun!

I'm not really getting the font guy's specs. Maybe TechLoveAffair can elaborate on it?

**misledtomisery** · November 6th, 2006, 02:33 PM

Text Man fonts, resizes, and formats his foes' defeat!

i see it as Text Man, powers - fonts, resizes, and formats his foes'

but who knows. maybe you want a text man that is walking text...huh..

**Supervlieg** · November 6th, 2006, 02:35 PM

I cast a Times New Roman curse upon you?

**vances22** · November 6th, 2006, 04:03 PM

i think i shall try my hand at text man...

**dragon4lunch** · November 6th, 2006, 05:12 PM

Hey "Fairy hitman - by Stephan R" is that a Fairy, who is a hitman, or a hitman, who takes down fairies?

**Sady** · November 6th, 2006, 05:13 PM

I´m in!

**misledtomisery** · November 6th, 2006, 06:40 PM

i dig it sady....
but some issues really bug me. the fairy's right side limbs are almost double the length of his left....very disturbing....
and the loincloth and other elements are not following the laws of gravity...
but the style is great.

**Adarias** · November 6th, 2006, 08:58 PM

misled, i think the fairy is in the middle of several leaps, bounds, flutters, and falls, and the vertical drag of the cloth and hair is intended to show motion

Well my idea was that it is a Hitman that is hired to take out fairies. It was inspired from Steven Stahlberg's artwork shown below:

NOT MY ART^

Don't feel like you have to stick to my initial thought. I threw it out there, and I suppose Oblio decides how its interpretted. A fairy that is a hitman is just as cool I think.

**Sady** · November 6th, 2006, 11:27 PM

Ah, alright then.

Btw... I almost colapsed. For a moment I thought Stahlberg´s image was your entry.

**dragon4lunch** · November 6th, 2006, 11:53 PM

Sady, I believe Stephen_R could certainly make an image like Stahlberg's (if not even better) if he wanted to! So you just watch out

But... in one day?

Not impossible certainly but I would be shocked anyway.

**Volles Metall** · November 7th, 2006, 02:33 AM

I'm in. I also thought of the Fairy Hitman the same way Stephan_R did. And actually thought of that image as well. Oooooo... this is gunna be fun.

I shall retract my WIP until further clarification...

**Oblio** · November 7th, 2006, 08:27 AM

it's open for interpretation - so - knock yourself out.
i have chosen those topics since we have a lot of crazy ones in the suggestion thread. picking one at the time will frustrate people - and sice there are a lot.. why not have a go like this ?
This way we'll go in different places and we'll challenge ourseves. The topics that are more elaborate will get the full treatment (classic style, with topics etc).

As you guys can see, i'm trying to run this as free as possible, to have fun and then to build portfolios, to get new challenges. I have more surprises for you all but.. i lack time

Soon...
This round is for fun only

**evolutionofshaun** · November 7th, 2006, 11:25 AM

I think I'll join in on this one! I won't have a finished painting, most likely a drawing. I'm picturing a faerie drivin to drink away the memories, kind of like Pierce Brosnan in the Matador.

**jackenstein** · November 7th, 2006, 12:57 PM

Could the fairy hitman be a fairy hit wo-man?

As a matter of fact, what about mixing the two topics together, Genetically Engineered Fairy Shemale Hitmale Bastard Trucker?

Hmm...*goes to the drawing board*

btw, Sady, we've got a week to do this, I think you could spruce it up more.

**Woodlandwalker** · November 7th, 2006, 01:59 PM

open to interpretation huh... hehe... ok..... here we go!!!!!
whoohooo

**PeanutButterWerewolf** · November 7th, 2006, 03:01 PM

Stephan_R : lol... somehow the picture makes me giggle

!!!!!!!!

**BRAT_777** · November 8th, 2006, 12:22 AM

HAHahaha...that's funny Woodlandwalker...I didn't even think about it like that.

Can I join? I would like to try my hand at the fairy hitman too...do I just jump in here?

**evolutionofshaun** · November 8th, 2006, 12:27 AM

Nice work woodland! I like it.
Those flashy reflectors on the razor wire look a bit cheesy though

**tainted wumpus** · November 8th, 2006, 12:32 AM

okay, here is what I'm working on. The thing to remeber when looking at this is that I'm terrible at computer art, and I'm using the good ol fashioned mouse.
