#8 Challenge: Gorion's Letter
Deadline: Friday, 18th May (Notice: TWO WEEKS)
Post your piece in this topic!

Remember what it was like coming back to Candlekeep, going back to Gorions room, and finding a letter for you? Remember how you felt reading it? Now it's time to go back to that moment and illustrate the scene where <CHARNAME> finds and reads the letter.

vilkacis got this idea and I could not resist it. So far we have mostly had character illustrations, so I think it is time for an actual scene. Make it an intimate, touching painting of you PC showing his/her reaction to the letter, or make it a group picture with PC's friends supporting him/her, or draw your PC in Gorion's old room. How ever you imagined that moment and reaction, this is your chance to share it with us.

The medium is free, as long as it's your own, but that you all already know! Just like with Solar, you have two weeks to participate in order to get in the statistics.

Go people, draaaaw!

Guess it's only fitting that I'll be the first to post, hmm?



Mm. Touching. Uh. Yeah. Definitely.

That's supposed to be Khalid and Jaheira to the left. The rest of them shouldn't be too hard to figure out.

..Khalid is like, really difficult to draw in Paint. The only thing that sticks out is his silly hat.

Ahahaha! Awesome!

[Kellen]

[IronOx]

LOL! That was TOO funny! P.S I boinked your mother

I wanted to do a parody of the letter too but I guess this one will top them all o.o

[Riane]

it's just great!

[Galsic]

A comic strip, if you will. Perhaps it's not as clever as Vilkacis' entry, but whatevah, I had fun with it . I'll likely make another one featuring the monk I showed in the first fanart challenge. Yay for us all!

Heh, vilkacis and Galsic, that almost sent me down in ROFL style shame on both of you - do you have even an idea how painful it is when you fall from your chair right under the table?

[Neferit]

Heh, I know it's tsupid but I had post it

[Galsic]

POW!! Right in the Face! #2. **Sigh** The last figure didn't scan right for some reason ('tis faded compared to the other figures). Something seems wrong with my scanner now, but I ain't tech-savvy enough to know what. Meh, whatevah, I'll take what I can get.

Anyhoo, 'tis the same thing as last time; just with my monk this time 'round.

Thank you, Galsic. Much, much appreciated.

Nice.

I do hope someone does an in depth, emotional scene yet. But these ones are so funny as well.

o/ I'm going to! Thank god for the two-week deadline.

Hayyy thank you, you wonderful peeps, for participating! Funny stuff indeed!

[Neferit]

I agree with Ilmatar - I maybe draw something more serious, too, but right now I have work which doesn't wait

[vilkacis]

It's nice to see others post silly entries so I don't have to feel lonely

I might be able to come up with something in-depth and emotional as well... uh... maybe.

...

Or not.

Um.

WOW, LOOK OVER THERE! -->
IT'S A BIG SHINY DISTRACTION!
'kay, fine, so it's not shiny. But there's chocolate in it. Honest.

I'm working on it Kellen! Just give me some time.

[Kellen]

Good jobs so far people! (Just restating the facts, cause I didn't want the post to be completely useless)

@ Deep Emotional scene promises
Oh, well...

I do hope someone gives me a million dollars...

[the bigg]

Don't even know why I bothered, but oh well...

Hey! If someone has Baldur's Gate 1 installed, could you help me (and maybe a few others too) out and take a few screenshots? I'd need to see the floor where Gorion's room is, and of course the room itself, and tell me if Piato had a red monk robe on, or if I remember wrong.

Thank you so much to anyone who can do this. I have no idea where my BG1 discs are at the moment, and I don't have any savegames backupped for it anyway...
