[77]- Page delays for a good cause (AKA the Poster thread!)
-
I know we have been really delayed recently, however this is mostly in part to another SEKRET PROJECT by Dave Riley. For the last 2 weeks we have been in production of a movie poster promoting the second book. We have gone through some gruling trial and error, and had to scrap and redesign a few times. Last night was the dead line, and by god we completed it. It took 14 hours and alot of idle banter to fill in the empty 25 mins it took to save the 14000 x 10000, 600 dpi, 24in x 36in file, and a weary ride home at 4:30 in the morning on a work night, but its done none the less. If you are interested in such a thing see Dave Riley for details.

Funny you should mention that. Dave had me base the "warbot" after the ABC Robot from JD. I on the other hand wanted to model it after Devil Gundam. I think it worked out in the end though. Also, page 77 is done (finally).
Also i have been working on these for Otakon. Let me know what you think?

Wait, the posters are up for sale? How did I miss this?!
-
I dunno but you did.
Please buy?
-
As soon as the money is in the bank I'll be placing my order. That should be sometime this week.
It came down to this or the second season of Lost.
Yeah, what a hard decision that was.
-
Now I just have to twiddle my thumbs waiting on the mail.
-
Ah crap. I guess I need to hurry up and get those tube mailers sent to me.
-
Dave, I can't stop laughing now. Well worth whatever wait I'm put through.
-
As it turns out I can have the shipping materials by Thursday, so no biggie!
However, if you've placed an order I've yet to receive it.
-
I must say, the confused face matches me as well. With luck the order will turn up Thursday?
-
No worries. As it turns out I DID get it, it just didn't give me an e-mail notification. I'll just have to be more vigilant until I can work that out.
-
WATCH OUT!
ITS A TRAP!
DAVE IS IN UR BANK ACCNT!!
SPENDIN ALL UR MUN EEEZ! -
OH NOES!
Anyways, are you guys going to make more posters anytime soon? I would like to have a bit more of a choise before I go SPENDIN ALL UR MONEEZ ON SUMTHIN and that with a great deal of; I don't live in American neneneh I don't have paypal neneneh. WHICH requires me to arrange all kind of crap... -
There are no more posters coming anytime soon. Just to make the sheer volume of posters to make us break even for selling them at a reasonable price practically crippled our bank accounts.
SAD FACE
-
Skabs exagerates, as he is wont to do, but his statement is true. I wouldn't expect another poster for at least a year (and even then, only if these somehow started to sell PHENOMENALLY). We're both still more than a few hundred dollars in debt for the things. So we'd like to see some sort of reasonable profit before we do it again.
So if everyone on this forum buys... 10-15 posters then I PROMISE you we'll have another design out immediately.
Otherwise, probably not for awhile.
-
I've got mailers in and can commence mailing.
Last question for you Ken and blank (and you guys can feel free to PM me with this): would you prefer your poster autographed or not? Keep in mind that this is more a matter of timeliness and pride than it is of monentary value. I promise you if signed Front Beat posters are suddenly worth like $5000 we'll send you five.
Really it's a matter of whether or not you want to wait a couple days more to get Skabs and I to scrawl our names in silver paint on the thing. If you do, we'll do it as soon as possible, if you don't then I'll ship 'em out as soon as you tell me. -
yez -_-
-
Sign away. I can't think of any reason why I need the poster ASAP.
-
Ditto on that one. I'll still want the other four when you get famous though.
-
Out of curiosity, how are these progressing?
-
We're actually signing them tomorrow, when Skabs comes down. So your guys's posters will be shipped out on Monday.
Sorry for the delay! -
Oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy.
-
They iz dun. At some peril
-
Yeah, we lost a couple due to misdeeds, but frankly... if we somehow manage to sell 1,000 posters (current count: 16, including twelve from my parents) I'm not gonna quibble over 3.
I want to thank all the people who came to our apartment on Saturday expecting a barbeque and, instead, got to participate in a slave labor poster assembly line. -
Dave Riley is not a man but a fish.
-
Poster arrived, all in one piece and so swish I can barely look at it. Seriously, it looks even better than it does on the website, especially now that I can easily see the finer details in the darker areas.
Thanks Team Front Beat (incl. the slave labor poster assembly line)!
-
Could it be possible to add: "Your Own Bought Front Beat Poster (Which Is Signed)" images to this thread. Would be cool.
-
Everything Kensudden said. Quality stuff. I've just got to get some sticky tack.
