This is a fundraiser for Marissa.
Plan:
A collaborative effort to illustrate a Gamer's Alphabet to be made into a book ready to sell. This is a fundraiser for Marissa and her family.
The book should go to the printer by Monday, November 2, so as to be ready for promotion and sale for the December holiday season. This means the artwork is DUE by Monday, October 26. (noon Pacific Standard Time)
Target audience:
People who love Marissa. people who love Biff, people who want to help promote awareness of I.S and its sequelae, people who love gaming, people who know people who love gaming. Family-friendly, but not necessarily for small children.
Specs:
Colour palette of your choice.
RGB
300dpi
Page size: 7×7 inches (18×18 centimeters) After trimming: 6.88 x 6.63 in (17.46 x 16.83 cm)
High-quality jpg is ok.
Send competed artwork to: gamersformarissa@gmail.com
jesse and wormy have both given me updated info on what name goes on the credits.
checkoff list updated, my friends. a huge THANK YOU to all of you who bore down and got done before the deadline.
there's some awesome work here, people. it's going to be a wonderful little book.
we need letters from: SDoh

do your best to get these in, please. i'm in trouble as far as setting the package up; my hard drive is dying and .... it's not fast or easy. it took all afternoon yesterday to do 2 pages.
be-jot ended up doing jedrek's letter, too. recall that jedrek wanted 2 letters? this is prime tease material. be-jot, you are a champ.
as you might be able to guess, meska has kindly taken over the layout work. he's serious about the kneecapping, you late letter lingerers. *NOD*

As life, the internet and art goes on, things should not be static anymore. Our kids will easily cut n paste a web addy ,or read a book, As I am a non graphics artist and a non static person... Here is the letter ----Y------- "As in Y did you frag me"
http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/1454475/Y.mp4
so in the gamers alphabet.. simply post this link.. the kids will understand it, more then us.. :happy:
i'm going to repeat something i've said a couple of times during the letter submissions:
i think it's lovely that you care and want to help. apparently you didn't read the brief closely enough.
and next time you play ... duck more.
i tried to play Doom a couple of times many years ago. it appears to me that not much has changed.

I think what I did will be settled in the Future.. Books and other reading or visual materials will and should be Interactive, I'm sorry and apologize if my vision is wrong..... but it's not wrong.. This is how things are changing.. I stand on having my link posted, Instead of a pretty Picture..
Just to let peeps know, this project is important to the people who have committed time and effort to help in some way towards our friend Biff. It's understandable that people have busy lives and often things will get in the way - but it would be good if you do want to contribute now and in the future, the least you can do is a) finish the task required or b) if you can't, let people know asap, so replacements can be acquired.

it's a fragile thing, depending on 20 different people at once.
do your best, all of you.

sono's is on the way.
via a friend, jedrek's ".....not done yet"....."
meska and Biff are doing the covers. They have the password to the gamersformarissa site too.
I need for the people who haven't finished yet to let us know how it's going, please.
there was a misunderstanding about the brief with Toby. it's sorted out and all is good. be-jot picked up the letter X.
However, i'm going to have to kneecap the following if you don't show your stuff toot sweet!

i'm typing out the dedication (again). I'll definitely want Biff to factcheck.
c'mon slowpokes !!
the "no contact" thing is kind of hard to take; we don't know if we need to pull something together at the last minute or not.
list updated.

No news from the Yay boys.
