Title: Quick Artist Help Needed!
Post by: locustsofdeath! on 03 December, 2009, 10:19:54 AM
Hey guys...I've decided to start one of them newfangled Blog-things, and I was wondering if one of you talented artists could possibly help me out with a banner. I can even offer a few pounds for your services (not much as I'm poor, but maybe a fiver for your troubles).

All I need is a black and white grainy rendering of - what else? - a locust or few, with a title photoshopped over it. I hope someone can help! Many thanks in advance.

I can't help you unless you want a locust that looks like a penis) but I thought I'd bump it. I'm sure you can snare some passing pencil jokey with the offer of a pint or two (although at current prices it might be a pint and a half ;) ).

Peniswithwingsoflove DOES have a ring to it.  And a history as an artistic symbol going back to ancient Greece....

I missed this Locust, what exactly were you after? Title wise I mean.

Thanks Emp (and no thanks, Gloady...yuck). I can always raise my offer as I had two pints of Fosters yesterday after doing some Christmas shopping and they cost a bit over 5 pounds.

Kerrin: I just thought a black & white sketch of a locust or two in flight would be cool to have at the top of my blog. It can be sketchy or "grainy", with the title "Locust of Death!" written across it.

I'm not up to the challenge for one thing and for the second thing I've got a lot on my plate, otherwise I'd leap at the opportunity to do you a favour (the third thing, and one I won't highlight TOO much, is that I'm not very good - there are many other more accomplished folks here).

Hey Locust. If you've got the chance to have either Fester or Grimm do your banner for you I'd go for it, they're both awesome artists. And to be honest I'd be hard pushed to get anything done for you before the new year fella. What's the blog for? Stories and scripts I'd hope. Look forward to seeing it up and running.

Thanks Kerrin! Yeah, the blog's just got "news" about my little writings. Nothing special, but I plan to link up with all the cool blogs hosted by members of the forum.

And I definitely agree about fester and mygrimmbrother...two of many talents around here. You're no slouch either, judging by your posts in the hot dang doodle thread.
