Title: Spray request, if anyone feels like it.
Post by: Carr0t on December 01, 2007, 03:20:02 PM
I know what I want in a spray, but I lack access to a scanner, or any kind of graphics skillz whatsoever.

So if there's anyone out there who feels like knocking me up something quickly and has the following:

1) Skill with some form of graphics program.
2) A copy of Terry Pratchett's 'Last Hero'.
3) A scanner.

i'd be in your debt.

There's a full page pic in Last Hero of Captain Carrot stood on the surface of the moon holding a flag and saluting. Some kind of cut of his head, chest and saluting arm with -=[dMw]=-Carrot written over it below his head would be ace, but i'm not sure if it's possible to make it look good with the low res CS Sprays seem to come out as in game, without making the spray itself huge.

U mean every Christmas then ? :P

I've been reading them since I stumbled on a nice cover in my Dads book case many moons ago. The latter books have got a bit naff, although I hear the newest is a good one.

Err damn off topic sorry :S

I have the Graphic Novel thing for that if you want me  to take some pics?

Aces :) Rock on.

He did tail off a little with the later books (although Making Money is ace :D), but even Pratchett off-colour is better than a helluva lot of other writers on top form. I got into them back when i was about 15, maybe a bit younger, at which point there were already 20 or so out, so my bro and sis were sorted for my Birthday and Christmas pressies right up until I got a job and could afford to get them myself on release day :)

I am a huge Terry P fan also so doing the sig will be a pleasure I have just read Nightwatch. I loved it - All the guy wanted was a boiled egg!

I tend to read a TP book after reading something else that didn't live upto what it said on the back I find it often restores my faith in novels.

Mr Pratchett is the master his links to real life are awesome.

Corporal Nobbs and Sergeant Colon
"Those lazy Klatchians have never done an honest days work they are all lazy etc.
It was 4 am in the morning Nobbs and Colon decided to go for a curry.
"Are you sure they will be  open"?
"o yeah they are open 24 hours a day."
Priceless :roflmao:

I like :) But i'd prefer it not to say 'Captain'. People who didn't know the books might think I was in some way in charge :rolleyes:

It's cool. Jamoe mailed me some scans from the book so i've been having a play myself as well. My gimp-fu is not strong, but it's fun playing around :D Thus far i've got:

looking good carrot :)

I wonder whether I have carrot from some of the book covers. Shame most of my books are still in storage. :(

Considered them, but I prefer Paul Kidby's art to Josh Kirby's stuff, and the covers of the books tend to be a bit... busy... so it would be quite difficult to tell the centrepiece of the image apart from anything else.

Totally off-topic (Sorta):
Is that Conan the Barbarian? Or some-such person? I've read pretty much all the Terry Pratchet books, and It reminds me of.. Uh... That one, with snow, and old people in wheelchairs... With swords..
