I thought that the 4 animals that Carlos drew were also going in the corners. If not, 4 regular animals would work well.

everything is okay...

i agree with some of the changes david suggested, but everything seems fine to me, and no we will not punch you in the face we will give you a hug! instead!

:)

looks good meagan. some of the letters could be lead or kerned a little closer, the font is weird that way.

don't worry about the boxes on the corners, the cards are going to remain the same size.
the board being moved around alot during game play would shift the cards anyhow.

no one on the team is going to punch you in the face.
(but watch out for flying monkey guides!!!)

is there any design ideas for the corners? like maybe the tree of life
on every corner, or a butterfly or four of the spirit animals, or all of the above.

(all is well.)

I'm really really sorry for letting you guys down on Wednesday. You guys totally have the right to punch me in the face next time you see me. I'm sorry I've been MIA the past few days. A lot of stuff went down and I should have made the time to let you guys know what was up. I just felt so guilty about not showing up on Wednesday, that I've been avoiding you guys till I have something worthy to show you. So here's the completed gameboard, and I got it printed (on a smaller scale) to make sure that the colors and everything looked okay, which they do. If you want me to make any changes, I can. I know I need to add the new eye design, as well as the drawings in the four corners. I tried some boxes for the cards, but they looked crappy, so I think as long as we mention that you can put the cards on the corners in the rules, it should be fine. I scaled the board down to 18x18", that way it is sure to fit inside the box. Once these changes are made and you guys give me the okay on the revised design, I'll go get it printed full scale and I'll make the board. If it's possible to get the few things that I need to complete the board I can have it all done this weekend and then have time to help out with the many other things we have to finish. Sorry about this again guys, I'm an ass.

Mmmmk. I'm really frustrated trying to do this game board background, because a lot of the ideas I have aren't working. The ones that do work don't end up matching the designs you two are doing. SO, I have a few ideas below that I think might work.


So, I thought we could keep is simple with printing on cloth. We could have it printed on a thinner cloth and glued to the game board, or on a thicker cloth, and not have any cardboard behind it. I could dye the cloth a bit to make it look older, like the game. It might look more like an old map, depending on the cloth used.



I always liked the fold out game boards, but I don't think printing on wood would be easy AT ALL. Reminds me of Jumanji. But it would be kick ass and match the figurines.

Alright, the next three don't have to do with the game, I just thought they looked neat and were inspirational.

I'll bring my failed attempts with me tomorrow so you can laugh at how horrible they are. Although have of the time I realized too late that I was working at the wrong size and had to delete them >_<.

I know this doesn't have anything to do with the project, but I thought it was important. Here are some links to oppose the orphan works bill. It takes like 2 minutes to do, it's really easy, and hopefully it will stop this bill. Spread the link around if you can.

The Illustrators Partnership has drafted a special letter for this purpose.

The House Judiciary Committee is considering H.R. 5889, the companion bill now. Please write them again:

They look great, though the second one looks like his eyes are burnt out.
