well, hopefully these come out ok, I did these for the boat club I'm at, so they're rowing orientated - but opinions welcome (appart from: "utter cr*p, don't ever draw like that again.." type of comments)

p.s. they're meant to have "sample" on them - its called copyrighting...so anyone else can't use them (aren't I trusting

)

p.p.s. if anyone out there is hiring I'm not busy - "have pencils, can draw"...

It's not even November yet

I kidd I kidd!

I know - want to get them done early so as to print 'em off in time. plus we have to sell them too so need to do them early.

Did you draw those by hand? If so,... Well done!

**shiato storm** · 31-10-2003, 02:58 PM

yup, all done by hand. well, pencil and paints - my hands can't produce as many colours as the paints I own...I do have a good supply of red

yes, I'm a bit of an 'artiste'...

They look just fine to me. Excellent in fact. If I'd seen them in a shop and been told they were commercially produced, I would not have doubted in for a moment.

Of course, final judgement rests on production quality too, and that depends on paper stock, printing method, etc. But the artwork is, in my opinion, excellent. Outstanding.

They're great

A welcome change from Mistletoe and crappy chrsitmas pudding photo cards!!

**shiato storm** · 31-10-2003, 04:18 PM

my prob now it to get them done cheap as poss, and good quality i.e. not colour photocopies done at the cornershop for 40p a page...
I don't use jpeg's either, I work with photoshop so I prefer tiff's or raw files such as PSD's - take a tiff to anyone who knows whats what and you're fine, if they haven't got a clue I leave.
I'v been leaving a lot of places...

**Emzay** · 01-11-2003, 08:28 PM

wow - they're really good!!

I make my own cards - but not drawing, just sticking ickle tree's and stars etc on card

**shiato storm** · 01-11-2003, 09:34 PM

fank you very much everyone

i've been looking around and its gonna cost me LOADS to print these babies off...like around £300-400!! (thats for 2000 cards though)

**Emzay** · 01-11-2003, 11:37 PM

sell them to a company!

!

**DaBeeeenster** · 02-11-2003, 12:39 AM

Man, I REALLY hate christmas. The only thing I like about it is getting drunk on Christmas day and shouting rude but amusing insults at the Queen whilst my mum kicks me for being sarcastic and disrespectful and my Dad just sits there chuckling to himself.

**Emzay** · 02-11-2003, 01:29 AM

well baaa humbug to yoo too!

**Howard** · 02-11-2003, 10:10 AM

I can relate to that DaBeeeenster

**shiato storm** · 02-11-2003, 03:50 PM

yeah - i though about selling them to a company but I wouldn't have a clue how much for...£1000's, £10,000's ? >

I'd have to bear in mind that over the years they're gonna do well out of it...!

**Emzay** · 03-11-2003, 12:36 AM
