Brig Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Looooved the artwork in this batch of cards! You guys are amazing! Thanks again to Mickey for heading up this round. :) Oh, how beautiful it used to be Just you and me, far beyond the sea -Nightwish Alice Mason, Crewe of the Archangel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelsbagley Posted May 6, 2010 Author Share Posted May 6, 2010 Loved the cards from this round! I do have to admit to being a small bit selfish on one of the card selections.... I'm a HUGE fan of the TV series LOST... And Gertie did one card of her set with a drawing of Hugo (Hurley) from the show, that I chose to be mine from the set. Loved the use of islands from the Pirate Collectable card game from Pew, that really brought back some fond memories of that game for me. I liked the tongue in cheek labels from McCools cards! How can one not just love a Patrick Hand card? Great cards all around, I feel bad singling out a few for praise as they were really all awesome! Best round yet!

Captain McCool Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 When you say the Pirate collectable card game, you you mean the one by WizKids? The Constructable Strategy Game? Because that's definitely what I thought of when I saw Pew's card. Gotta love it. I miss that game.

Because that's definitely what I thought of when I saw Pew's card. Gotta love it. I miss that game. That is exactly what I was talking about. The game is still available, I saw a new series available at a store a few months back... But to be honest, I only really liked the first handful of series of the game, and then it just seemed to get to the point where they were adding new series of cards just for the sake of a cash grab and not to add anything worthwhile to the game... That is just an opinion though. I have a large enough collection of the early series of the game to host myself and many others to play, the problem I have is just finding local folks interested in playing.

Captain McCool Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Actually, those are my sentiments exactly. Well, if ever we bump into each other somewhere, I'll try to remember to bring mine and we can have an epic pirate battle royale!

Ransom Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Heck, I don't know what you guys are talking about. My Pew card doesn't look anything like what you're describing. BTW, who is going to wrangle the next round? (Please, Pew, do not "Voluntold" me for that! ) ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold...

Captain McCool Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 I'll definitely participate in the next round! Can't wait! But I don't think I'm up for coordinating just yet.

Gunpowder Gertie Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 I haven't got nary a card yet- I can't wait! Hopefully tomorrow- that'd be grand! I'm definitely in for the next one! I had a great time making the cards, and I'm really enjoying the excitement of waiting for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunpowder Gertie Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 (edited) They're here- the package has arrived! I haven't opened it yet- but..they're here! ETA: All right- I've opened them. And what a great set they are! I actually got the one I was hoping to get back - the charts and maps on fire - since it was one of the last, it was one I considered my best, but then, perhaps it had best gone to another, and I got one o' my weakest ones back. It was quite the experience for me, I really hadn't drawn much after my car accident, and some of the drawing skills you take for granted, like hands, feet and perspective, had definitely gotten rougher...and my line..oh..my line....gone but not forgotten... but I was feeling pretty good by the end. I see that my cards were a bit bigger than the others- I did a lot of my cards at work,( during slack periods- I must emphasize!!!) and couldn't access the dimensions in the original post. I had mistakenly thought the cards to be about the size of some notepads we had at work, and I was off quite a bit by the time I noticed it was much too late! Next time will be better- and I know I had a hard time working this small as it was- so major KUDOS to you other folks, doing such a nice job with your line, and design, in such a small canvas! I was so taken by the interactivity of the cards- some had working compasses, some opened, some were serious, some comical. I plan to frame all mine, that's how cool they are! Michael- I see what you mean by the Patrick Hand ones! Very unique- and very ..charming..yes- charming...not to mention- TASTY! The Pew one was a small island with an X for treasure. Very cool. It's obviously part of a whole, and I guess it also symbolizes this whole idea of us sharing our artwork. Brig- I love the concept of the beautiful dead, and "my heart is lost to you" from yours! J8ks dad- I really loved the design elements of yours- and the 3D compass, and interactive spinner. McCool- for someone who seemingly got dragged in- by me- kicking and screaming- you did a NICE job, man. A colourful, yet simple design, very humorous. The others- Ransom and 2 that are unsigned- has a lovely scrapbooking, multiple element design, and are really well done, and whoever did the hand drawn lighthouse- your line is really awesome. I wish my pen and ink work was as good. So- I have a ways to go it seems, to match some of the elements that everyone put into their work. Some things I thought about during the design phase, and wasn't sure I could do- now I see that almost anything goes, and you really are limited only by your imagination. I'm really revved up for the next one now. Edited May 11, 2010 by Gunpowder Gertie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pew Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Glad to see this round was such a hit! I don't mind heading up another round. Work is winding down for the summer. How about June first, we start another go? I have an idea for theme as well . . . , Skull and Quill Society , The Watch Dog "We are 21st Century people who play a game of dress-up and who spend a lot of time pissing and moaning about the rules of the game and whether other people are playing fair."

Kate Souris Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Yeah I think I forgot to sign mine....they're the lighthouse ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunpowder Gertie Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Yeah I think I forgot to sign mine....they're the lighthouse ones. Kate- the lighthouse one was exquisite. Like I said, your line was lovely! I need to practice using pen and ink! and Pew- I'm up for this for sure..I might be a bit rushed though- I have a full June on my plate- 2 pirate gigs, Nor Cal..and a wedding. But June 1st will likely be okay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ransom Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 I'm with everyone else here, this round of cards really were grand. You guys are awesome. Okay, Pew, June works for me as the starting point, but I, too, have NorCal to prepare for (Can't wait to meet you there, Gertie!), so giving out the theme now would let me get a head start on what I plan to do for Round, The Fifth. ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold...

I too didn't sign my cards, mine were the ones that were labeled "Lost in paradise" with the filmy transparency. I have a pretty busy June, but if the theme is soon to come and I like it (as if I wouldn't like it ) I would surely join in for round the fifth as well.

Captain McCool Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Damnit all, I wish I could afford a ticket out to Cali for that festival. And lodging too, can't forget that. I've always wanted to go. I hate being unemployed. As for the cards, can't wait for the next theme! Incedentally, who decides that?
