Black Deacon Posted September 25, 2003 Posted September 25, 2003 Arrr...The wait be over, sez I! Here be an example o' what the finished art can look like. Seein' as ol' Redd is an 18th century salt, the look be more like a steel etching. However, if ye be an older pyrate, I can make it look like a woodcut as well.The writing can be anythin' ye be wanting. Let me know what ye think! I can't see it. Email it to me. lloyd@livelydjs.com -------------- "Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in one pretty well preserved piece without an even a kiss your hand, but to skid across the line broadside, thoroughly used up, worn out, smelling of powder, shouting ARRRG!!"

Lucky Penny Hawkings Posted September 25, 2003 Posted September 25, 2003 Anytime, Redd. We pirates 'ave te support our own, sometimes. Especially when they be hassled by their persons of employ...

Blood in the scuppers tomorrow."Thrist is a shameless disease. So here's to a shameful cure!"Loyalty, honesty and directness are traits I admire. Insecurity, snipes and disrespect I will not tolerate in the least."
BoneHunterLane Posted September 26, 2003 Posted September 26, 2003 Fine work, Redd! But... aren't ye a wee bit underpriced? Only $100!??? If I ever get an outfit together and a photo, we'll be talkin' :)
Redd Oktober Posted September 26, 2003 Author Posted September 26, 2003 Arrr. 100 pounds would get you a lot o' things back then, matey! YARRR! The Oktober be silent now! Just call me "REDD!"
Redd Oktober Posted September 29, 2003 Author Posted September 29, 2003 Okay...I've done me calculations and some serious drinkin'...I've come up with a package...Here we go: Custom Pirate Wanted Posters $50 Set includes: 1 original piece of hand drawn artwork (suitable for framing). 10 parchment copies, ready for posting! + instructions for reproducing your posters. (I will need a good, clear photograph of you. You don't necessarily need to be in pirate attire...just send me a pose that represents you at your piratical best. Also, let me know if you would like the style in woodcut or steel print as I can reproduce either) Contact me off forum if you would like to order a set or see an example. YARRR! The Oktober be silent now! Just call me "REDD!"
Cap'n Coyote Posted September 29, 2003 Posted September 29, 2003 Also, let me know if you would like the style in woodcut or steel print as I can reproduce either) The sample you posted, is that an example of woodcut or steel print? I have seen woodcuts, but to my knowledge have never seen a steel print. What are the differences? BTW: 'tis a fine piece o' artwork, indeed! Rumors of my death were right on the money.
Redd Oktober Posted September 29, 2003 Author Posted September 29, 2003 The style in me example be closer to a steel plate print (17th-18th century pirate). A wooden print would be chunkier in look and line width (14th-15th century pirates). A woodblock print that you could use for reference is vlad the impaler's famous portraits. They had artists who worked in woodblocks who could fashion elaborate prints...but the average artist's work was slightly crude and chunky. But it is authentic. Hope that helps. YARRR!

Darkmalkin Posted September 29, 2003 Posted September 29, 2003 OOOo, I just came across this thread. Those posters be NICE. I'll be making sure I get me picture taken at Nishna in all me finery so's I can get some done. Can I get one wif a group of us in it for the same price, or is it just individual photos only? Dark The Pyromaniac Pirate
Redd Oktober Posted September 29, 2003 Author Posted September 29, 2003 I'm flexible. I can do an 11x17" group poster for a flat rate of $100. Most of the cost is the time that I need to put into each drawing. -Redd YARRR! The Oktober be silent now! Just call me "REDD!"

As much as I am a fan o' Albrecht Durer, I 'ave ta say the steel print design suits me fancy a mite more. *scans horizon for ships to plunder for enough doubloons to keep Redd in rum* Rumors of my death were right on the money.
Black Deacon Posted September 29, 2003 Posted September 29, 2003 Looks good. How much?

Lucky Penny Hawkings Posted September 29, 2003 Posted September 29, 2003 Let me see how some of the pictures from Ojai come out, Redd dear. We'll have kawfee an' talk....because I know that "attempting to steal the Governor's wig" is one of the offenses I've committed (and might I add have 'evidence' of!)!
