After the rather fun times of my last Members Picture Quiz, I felt I needed to do another one. This was more because the last one became the members quiz during it's development, rather than being one from the start. As such, it always bothered me that it wasn't quite as good as it could be, and so I needed to do another.

I've wrote a little about the development of this picture below, but I'm fairly certain the bulk of folk want to see it and guess who's who in the pic. I'll just stick to the same ol' rules as last time and ask that you say who you believe it is, where they are and keep guesses to a couple each post (I'm looking at you NonCon) :p . I haven't tried to draw anyone in a subtle manner ;)

The actual drawing took about a month, most of which as a secondary project. When I'm drawing something I like to have something in reserve, so whenever I get too frustrated I have something to fall back on. In the past week through, I grew rather entertained with the whole thing, and it took up most of my drawing time.

The main problem was just working out how to fit in a few dozen CFC members into one A4 sheet of paper, in a scene depicting a general OT 'debate'. I had several false starts, before deciding I would use a tried and tested method of simply copying another picture. I feel it was most appropriate that I used the Civilization IV: Warlords cover [Link] as a guide to creating this. Equipment used was also fairly simple, just using a standard mechanical pencil as a guide and a drawing pen for the final lines. Photoshop was also used to fix errors and smudges. I did toy with the idea of using Indian Ink, as I love it so, but decided against it simply due to the amount of detail I would have to do on such a small space.

I'll add a couple of things - to keep the thread being a bit relevant feel free to ask some questions on my artwork and techniques, perhaps why I drew some things the way I did, and I appreciate all criticism and help. An 'Ask a...' thread, so to speak.

And secondly, a disclaimer: I am very sorry if you are not in the picture. There were many people I wanted to fit in, but couldn't - mostly due to space limitations. It's nothing personal. In addition, if you are in the picture - again, it's nothing personal ;)

Do enjoy!
 
I like how the guy is going to battle with a box of Raisin Bran! :lol:
 
Awesome Kan :goodjob: Some talent you have there :)
 
:lol:Thats great:goodjob: Heres an idea for a future thread: take some of the weirder exchanges here and turn them into cartoons, or comics, using the actual posts.
 
Gogf - The blimp
Marla Singer - The Eifel Tower
Raisin Bran - The box of Raisin Bran
AlCosta - the dude with weird eyes with a pope hat
Tank Guy #3 - the Sherman tank
CivFan 91 - The Pyramid

I'll let some others post before I do anyone else.

Also, great job Kan! :goodjob:
 
Is that a Space elivator infront of the Pyramid?



Good stuff!
 
Thanks a lot chaps. I get exceptionally nervous when posting something like this, so it's going to be hellish if I start doing it for money :p

Bozo: I played around with that sometimes in one of the old Draw Your Own Stories, before getting a bit bored of it all. May be bordering on a bit too user-specific though.
 
Civcube=the cube with the letters 'civ' on it?
Bozo as Spock, with the spear.
The boat flying in the sky with a 'not a boat' banner is Bluemofia.
MJM in front of the castle.
 
Bah, I just saw that I'm holding Turner's Chiefs flag. Blah.

It's okay, you're Scottish, so I'll give you a break. ;)
 
I see MjM's Iron Cross in back right. Also, MarineCorps' Gundam or whatever it's called is represented.
