Augh last week was not great, so the only progress was cutting some of the pieces for the laptop sleeve, but once the decorations/wards are done it'll be quick to sew. :D

Still not sure what other pieces to make, tho.

Re: Team Losers Tarot

[mific]

Eep - sorry I missed a check-in! Yeah, combo of the other Bang, and doing cards all the time. 12 done (almost) at this stage, plus the card back and a box-cover/title card. *scurries off*

Re: Team Cosplay in Resin

[mergatrude]

This sounds fascinating and fantastical! I can't wait to see it all come together! \o/

Re: Team Cosplay in Resin

Oooh, 2, yay! I love that scene a lot.

I think for #4, going with the chopper scene with Aisha is the best (donut, donut, donut!). I agree putting on a mask of Columbus's face is a bad idea and does feel like blackface to me. I think it would be best to pick a Pooch outfit and his awesome aviators and go with that. Maybe have him carry around a little Mojito dog?

#5: I don't remember many Max scenes (kinda hate Max), but the ones that come to mind as memorable are the roof one (hate that one, but it's better several others), the one of him and Wade walking on the beach (I really, really hate that one), and the one with him and wade on the Puerto Rican satellite dish (probably the best because there's no killing of innocents there).

Re: Clay (#6), the only scenes I really remember are the banana one with Roque, the sexy fight with Aisha, and the fight with Roque at the end (which makes me sad and I hate). Oooh - maybe the confrontation with Max? "Well, you can't shoot me." POW!

Thank you--I'm kind of apprehensive about getting everything done in time to get final shots over to our Photoshop "inker".
I also had the bright thought that, as with actual comix, we can even add some context sentences before and after the actual pix.
Those could be somebody narrating to the guests, for instance.
Then I had the bright thought that this is pretty darn meta in its own right--comix made into movie, generating fans who want to take pix that amount to a comix take on *both* original sources.
Harking back to the comix source is especially true for our Aisha, who's got a custom bod (which, sadly, needs some serious modding work done to improve her posing.). She's built like the comix tough gal, not so much like wonderful cutiepie actress Zoey Saldana--whose appearance makes a silently valid point that truly badass woman don't always have to immediately present as killer-rugged and muscular.
Umm, but this one does...
Link shows bare girl doll chest in this shot, so NOT SAFE FOR WORK.

I find myself frustrated in finding a decent shot of them muscles that's safe for work. All of my good ones of her are from her initial box opening, where naked doll gets run through poses to see what it can do. Clearly, she's overdue for some decent public appearances.

For Pooch, I do have some aviators I can use! Hmm, do not have a Mojito bobbing-head dog. Heheehe, but I *do* have an actual Chihuahua in a lighter version of that same coloring--yep, real live one, rescue project. Might be fun to take Photoshop advantage of that similarity!!
For Clay, I like the fight with Aisha, that would help give her some more airtime too.
The confrontation at the end with Max (POW!) would be a good one too, thank you!!

I've been working on getting enough fatigues/camos in the various sizes (you'd think they ought to be all the same, but nooooo... makes it harder to double up and swap around the same pants)
Id love to get away with having Jensen in yellow shirt red shorts even in the scenes where he's supposed to be in camo, but that's not good cosplay, darn it...

Re: Team Sniperknife!

[nagasvoice]

Also, have some Jensen inspiration!

Just got sent this one. Ahem. Yeah, choirboys.
It would explain the nickname for Cougar, wouldn't it?

Re: Team Lotsa Bunnies

[cleo69]

Woohoo!!!! I'm free!!! At least for the summer. I can write creatively now when the mood strikes instead of having to pet it on the head and say give me a bit. So now it's time to figure out in earnest which bunny loves me the most to talk to me in full sentences.

*does Snoopy dance*

Re: Team Lotsa Bunnies

[kate]

Yayyyyyyy! Enjoy your freedom and good luck with writing!

Re: Team Podfic

[nagasvoice]

Well, here's an odd inspiration for you... I'm thinking of this particularly disconcerting sound effect as a symptom on Jensen happening to other people.This one (I'm unsure if it's the same piper as below--if not, this has become a Thing)sounds peculiarly as if he's wheeling about a quiet neighborhood. Let's say, Jensen acting up at 5 am on a Sunday morning, outside the barracks of people that he has cause to disturb.

They're calling this version an upgrade. I'm sure Jensen would too.

Re: Team AU Movie

Somehow, thought of Pooch when I saw this one.
Of course he'd do stuff like this to make a bouquet when they wee courting!
Yeah, wouldn't Jolene tease him forever about what he does with duct tape?
