Hellboy Forum Holiday Art Exchange 2012

[Kees_L]

Hey everyone!

Just a heads up, were about 15 days away till art is due so we can get names matched up and art mailed before Christmas.

I've been slacking myself, but I plan on getting mine done in the next week..
If you haven't started, get started!

I'm gonna get cracking with my thing tomorrow.

My job situation has been strenuous for months on months now, since it's through town hall, meaning it's municipal, and with a new governmental budget cutback system policy being implemented (since we got our own fresh Bronco if a li'l paler), everything is hanging in the balance with looking sorta bleak if not grim outright like a dip or depression pulling its weight. Which is what I'm calling strenuous.
But yeah, I wanna get something done allright, got fresh paper and even comic board so I'm feeling ready, apart from the crap that is.

Still need to decide whether it's gonna be watercolor, or ink, whether it's gonna be Big Red himself or another character, but like you say, I need to fire it up.
Get busy with staying in business, or die trying in style, but at least have some fun if only on paper. Which I can put my name under.
Gogo gadget pencil, draw the line, I'm-a drop it like it's hot!

Gonna hit the hay in a minute and when I rise with feeling not particularly enthusiastic I may make use of my secret breakfast formula, being an empty cereal bowl, fill it with Dr. Pepper, add three Snickers bars sans wrapper, some fresh particles of lime or grapefruit (I hate grapefruit) and eat that with a spoon.
And to focus I may resort to some gravely uppity heinous yet frolic-y remix music such as this:


or simply metal of course.
Now for some sleep (-eep -eep -eep).

I just sent MS an email with the first of my pieces!

[Kees_L]

I managed to botch up the piece I was gonna enter. A watercolor piece which needed some ink lines, like how Artur Rackham did some of his stuff.

But today I found the inking I did last night as to be sucking heavily. Not cool.

I'll try for a new piece, but the clock is TIC-TIC-TICking!

[Kees_L]

With this day done and my scribblings to no avail, I fear I'm gonna have to be pulling out for this year.

Since work is gonna have some stuff in store for me, with no letting up 'till the actual days of Christmas, I'm afraid I won't be having enough time to be doing something decent.

Which stinks.

Bummer! But I totally understand.
Wouldn't want it to be a burden with your work stuff going on too, its just for fun.

Maybe next year Kees!

Now It is almost Deadline. Christmas spirit is now starting to tingle.

How's it going, Everyone?

[noble_enough]

Last week guys, I need the emails with your completed piece by midnight Friday the 14th so I can put together the list on who gets who.

I just finished mine! Always waiting till the end to do it!

[JoelleHart]

I'm running behind myself. ^_^``````
But I already know that I am creating a piece for thb, and am not receiving this year... so can I get a brief grace period?

Yep, since you guys are already paired up I think thats just fine!

[noble_enough]

Hey guys, tonight is the deadline..

I've only received three artists contributions so far.

Can I get some feedback from who is still on the list.

Do you still plan on contributing? Do you need this weekend to finish up or should I just pair everyone up with the 4 that we have after the midnight deadline?

[D'ohboy]

Mine is a comin'...
I'll be there before midnight!

SENT!

[noble_enough]

Got it! Awesome!
I'm addin you to the list.

[noble_enough]

Alrighty, I have everyone but:

thwhtGuardian
Gary_B
fitzroy

Can you guys give me an update on what the plan is, still gonna do it? Will you finish tonight?
Do you need this weekend to finish it up?

And still waiting on JoelleHart, whom is doing theirs late but its going to Thb so that one isn't needed right now for the pairing up.

[Sheeeva]

So those 3 are the ones still needed?

[noble_enough]

So those 3 are the ones still needed?

Yeah those three are peeps who said they'd like to participate this year.

If they can't no biggie, I just need to know either way so I can do the pairing with who we have left.
