Captain McCool Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 (edited) Okay, I have to admit that I completely forgot about these. I feel like a total bum! Sorry guys! I've had my mind so full of perparations for BrethrenCon, my new job, various family issues, etc. that they have completely, and repeatedly, slipped my mind. If you guys want to go on without me, I'm totally understanding. otherwise, if I had just a few extra days, I might be able to simply whip up a basic design (already had a couple in mind, actually, just never got to doing them), and get it sent out. I leave it up to our fearless leader.

Pew Posted July 8, 2010 Author Share Posted July 8, 2010 Take your time. I'd like to have them out in the next couple weeks, but it's more important (I think) to have everyone finish up and then send out a complete set of 10. Whenever anyone finishes, just PM me and I'll shoot you my snail mail. , 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."

Captain McCool Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Really sorry mates. life has really kicked my arse this month. Could go into detail but I won't bore you. In any case, I'm opting out. Sorry again. I'll just have to save the one card design I actually finished for the next round.

Ransom Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Ya know, I'm not pointing fingers at anyone, 'cause life is life, but...these cards are NOT High Art. You could do them in crayon if you wanted to. It takes maybe three or four hours to slap something fun together, and it's been two months. Plenty of time to take one day, one afternoon, or a couple of evenings to meet the deadline. It is a disservice to the artists who made the commitment and stuck to it. It is one of the reasons we state up front..."Don't sign up if you can't commit." Like I said, life is life, and stuff happens, but seriously, these cards are not meant to be fine art. They are not something you need to stress over, think about too much, or spend a lot of time on. They are meant to be quick, easy, and fun. That was the whole point from the beginning—a break from the art journals, which were much more involved, and took up to a year to complete the round. It just makes me sad to think of the artwork that those of us who completed the cards won't get to see. ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold...
