Pictures wanted for new Rule Book

So I'm already starting work on the new Rule Book and could of course use more pictures. I'd rather have hundreds of pictures to choose from instead of just a few.

I won't use any pictures that don't have good costumes/make up or which have anachronisms (wristwatches, coke cans) or bad backgrounds (inside modern buildings, cars in the distance, etc).

They also need to be high quality -- 300 dpi or better.

Here are some of the things I am currently looking for:

1. Really good racial pictures for the Races section. They need to be head shots* preferably with the person looking at the camera. Use the current book as a guide. The ones that are in there now are good, but if you can give me a better one, I'll use it!

2. Someone making a weapon, like the current book. Those pictures are great -- except Jesse is wearing a "NERO" t-shirt. Just duplicate those pictures and we'll be fine.

3. Some good massive battle pictures. I have a lot, but invariably there is some NPC in the background wearing shorts or with the mask on the top of his head or something. I need a few good crowd fight scenes where everyone looks good.

4. A good scan of a monster card. As you can see in the current book, it didn't come out too well and I am not computer savvy enough to know why. I took a card and scanned it, but that doesn't seem clear enough.

5. A picture of people checking their tags after a fight.

6. A picture of a biata and a stone elf doing some mind meld thing together would be good and if not, just one or the other performing mental skills on someone.

7. Someone using a wand.

8. Some good formal magic pictures, with incense burning and people in a Circle of Power and fog from a smoke machine and stuff to make it look really really cool.

9. A good picture of someone trying to disarm a trap, with the tools laid out nearby.

10. A picture of someone who is obviously about to sneak into a cabin.

11. A good picture of John Finnegan

If you have a lot of pictures, I'd prefer a disc sent to me (Alliance LARP, PO Box 377, Tannersville PA 18372) but if it's just a few, email them (AllianceLARP@gmail.com)





* Yes, I know, head shots are illegal in our game, ha ha, I get it.
 
Ben Foster is working on a portrait of John Finnegan (as Bryan) which I commisioned. When finished, it's getting donated to the Alliance. If I have to give him a deadline or anything let me know since he might not see this thread.
 
that pic of chazz as his dwarf that i used in the alliance poster contest is amazing. someone took it at the low level last year.
 
I'll see if anyone will let me in their head for a photo.

I don't have the database as I'm not on plot, but if the system you're on also has Adobe Acrobat on it, you can print directly to a .pdf file. This file, in turn, can then be "save(d) as" a picture file (.jpg) or whatever format you'd prefer.

There are also sometimes other options (MS Office Document Image Writer) under the print menu where you choose a printer that can send printer output directly to a picture file - thereby not getting the 'grainy' of the scan.

Also, don't forget to check out www.alliancepics.com :)
 
I can also help you out with that, plus there's a cool picture on the main site of me going into khorwyn's head while he is feared. It's pretty badass.

Khorwyn, feared and badass. The last word just doesn't go with the first two. ;)

I can help you with that. Go team mental abilities!

Okay then. We'll get Ren, Telokh and Sym for the Stone Elves. We'll get Amar, Laguna and Zat for the Biata. Then we can all get in a big circle (Biata, Stone Elf, Biata, Stone Elf, etc) for a Mind Meld Daisy Chain!!!

Or is that too much? ;)

Hey!

My Biata Argus wants to get in on the mind melding madness!

Go Mind Screw!!!

Then we can hire an artisan to draw pictures and sell them at certain underground establishments for biata and stone elves over the age of 118.
 
Wouldn't that exclude you tho?

Most of the photos that I have digital versions of on that site are below the 300dpi threshold. If there are a specific few photos that are requested I can probably look up the negative and create a higher quality version, but I don't have the time or energy to make HQ versions of all of them. For the majority I just have my photo processor put them on CD for me, at 72dpi.

Awesome. So not only can you be included, but you get a silver per logistics period.
