I love it because it just so clearly tells a story. The boy with the trash can lid and the bat is a hero, the girl with the slingshot is the leading lady, the girl with the brick is the shy, glasses-wearing introvert who musters up some plucky courage and determination. It's so easy to imagine a fun, cool little story about that.

I really like the picture, but it's one of the few that always gives me an uncomfortable feeling when I look at it. I'm not really positive why.

Because it's little children being forced to fight against the dead bodies of other children, who we can only assume were once their friends and neighbours, and therefore these survivors have been exposed to a harsh world of life and death that we (as adults) would strive to protect them from?

It's okay though, they're just pretending.

... Right? Right?? :ohdear:

Yeah, myself I actually saw it more like one of Calvin's (from Calvin & Hobbes) ultra-realistic imaginings. The kids are pretending they're fighting off zombie kids while playing on the play structure.

They aren't pretending, but those kids are strong as gently caress so they'll win. How else are they coming to become Mighty Murder-Hobos, if they don't learn to fight off the corpses of their friends?

I think I have a good challenge. A two-prong challenge.

I need swords. Long swords, short swords, greatswords Interesting and feasible swords, not "cool" swords, like the type you'd find at a drat renfest. Type of swords, whether sci-fi or fantasy, that look like a career warrior or hero would actually wield. They can be ornate as all hell, but I want swords with sensible silhouettes.

Less this stupid poo poo





And more of this







And this (The Lord of the Rings/Hobbit movies were pretty good about making interesting, but feasible weapons)






Also demonic and ragged, well-worn swords

I think that picture is related or inspired by this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1593074506/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_7?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

The four-eyed people are called Djarda, and they come in all kinds of colors. I'm not to clear on what they're about, but that's because I've long since lost the setting overview he gave me.

The viking with the gun? That's a soldier of Midgard. Everything's like this; it's like you took a typical fantasy setting, with the wacky races and people with random superpowers, and set it in the modern era. The actual game itself ended up playing like Black Lagoon in a fantasy setting.

I was a werewolf ranger who was part of Midgard's Special Forces Rangers. SMGs and Machetes versus horrorterrors.

It was pretty great.
