Er, it's not showing, Baxter ol' pal. I was having server issues at work the other week which stopped images from loading, but it's resolved now and I see no mong!

Unless of course your serve is an invisible .PNG with an inward bevel and a small red
  • in the top left corner? If so, 'WOW!' etc.

Really? It seems to work fine here.

I love the first shot - what's the art style referencing?

gmoney's return made me laugh hardest though.

^ Looks like Shepard Fairey to me

Is the dark grey chalkstripe because of colour management, then? Knowing Baxter, the fact it looks like it's been printed with a slightly decalibrated inkjet (not to mention that oh so convincing 'Is it not working? How perplexing' business) is all part of some beautifully simple yet evil conceit

It was indeed supposed to be reminiscent of Shepard Fairey's 'obeygiant' stuff but I was influenced by the recent 'classy games covers' photoshops on SA, I was going to have the light details of the face on the dark grey field but there was too much space, so I went for the 'Attack in an underpass' vibe.


The stripes didn't appear until merging down probably due as I say to making the vector under one colour profile in inkscape and another one in PS, but it could just be artifacting due to the fact that photoshop doesn't import .svg as vector shapes and instead rasterises them to a bitmap.

I want it on a t-shirt. Then I would post it in 'Best t-shirts of all time' thread.

Seriously that would go down a storm in the north-west, and maybe further afield!

Baxter

If you're serious I'd be happy to clean up the original vector for you, there are plenty of online printing places.

Quick round, over before other games had even started.


Baxter for his 2nd shot.


Uncle TechTip

Baxter, why are such a genius at everything you do? Please tell me you were crap at PE, or I might have to kill myself.

Baxter for his second.  If it wasn't for that shot, gmoney would have clinched it for Papal Aki.

if baxter has sex as quickly as he plays wimblemong, his girlfriend must be a very frustrated young lady

I just can't last longer than 20 hours, it's probably some sort of disease.

What would you know anyway you wifeless-wonder!
