right, i've had an idea in my head and have been creating various experiments with it lately.

the title is "war games". it's a commentary on the casualness with which wars are waged, or the dangers of tennis, take your pick.

anyway it's at the sketchy stages still, hence i'm only prepared to show a low-res for now. would love your feedback and absuse.



(things that i know need fixing; the legs, the racket, and most other parts.)

Think that looks good. How about a barb wire tennis net for him to serve over? A little cliched but might look good

[Run Pig Run]

good stuff. don't fuck with it too much though.

Looks great - if it were a different colored background you would be able to make out the player a little better. Really good idea though.

thanks everyone, some great tips there. glad you like it!

I'm going to be working on it more, like bombhugger said though i wont change it too much, just want to refine it. also ripper, good shout on the coloured background, i was thinking about adding green to the lower part, but maybe a light shade for the whole bg would work.

thanks again, i'll keep you posted with updates.

Make him look less like Wayne Rooney too.

[thwaites]

he's not quite that hideous! he is far from perfect yet though. it'll be rad when its all finished

[BK83]

actually a valid point!

cheers jap, i've just started again by hand, it's going to be a long night...

[thwaites]

I just showed my dad it and he said it looked like wayne rooney too.. oh dear. now thats all I can see. Maybe you should spend less time at the pub and more time working on it!

[piperson]

maybe I'm wrong but wouldn't the grenade have the pin bit missing if it was being thrown?

anyway like it

[thwaites]

yeah he did do a version with the pin falling and one with it on the floor, not sure why he has taken it out though. im sure it will go into the final one.

[piperson]

good stuff, how do you know that?

[thwaites]

notitle is my boyfriend, so ive had to compete with "rooney" for his attention lately! He keeps asking me for my advice on it, not that he listens! men!

[notitle]

hello yes!

pin is missing from that one, but it's going to be there for sure! i redid the whole thing by hand and i'm getting closer to the final. will be having it screen printed on arches 88 (deckled) with some parts hand-painted in colour. it will look a lot better than that version trust me!
