Do kids still collect stickers for sports events in your country? They sure do in Croatia! I worked on several albums for previous tournaments, and it looks like this.






Panini owns the rights for the official stuff but we can do this because it's Art. No photographs, no official kits, no FA logos, no official mascots etc. The project is accompanied by Facebook games, quizzes, giveaways and other stuff but I'm not involved with that this time. My job is to pick players, define most of the album content, organize illustrators and give them players' descriptions/ideas.

You can ask me stuff and I'll also ask you a bit about your teams. :bubblewoop:

Swedish style? No.
Yugoslavian style? Of course not.
It has to be Zlatan-style.

This owns so much. Are there any particularly racist caricatures in the weird off-brand panini sticker book you can show us?

It will be almost exclusively teams that qualified so Australians have to defeat Honduras first. Yeah, something kangaroo-related might appear.

We had five Australians in the 2010 album but I don't have their drawings sadly.

No, it's just random art to make the pitch more interesting. Our official unofficial mascot will probably be Siberian tiger.

That would be great but I have no idea what those shops stock and whose decision it is (shop's owner or distributor).

Me too! We'll have at least one Italian (Buffon, naturally) because we'll have a page or two of players who didn't qualify. Mainly so that we can put some Bosnians because the album will be sold in Bosnia too.

Simone Poodoin posted:

We're working on them right now. My picks are
Keylor Navas
Celso Borges - heavy metal / drumming
Bryan Ruiz - journalism (pen behind the ear)
Cristian Gamboa - energetic (drawn with many legs)
Yeltsin Tejeda - I guess we'll put Boris Yeltsin's face on his kit

What do you think?

We might later expand to 10 Costaricans, depending on how the remaining teams qualify.

Where did you get the journalism thing for Bryan? Haven't heard that before. Borges and Gamboa are spot on.

I get Yeltsin being there because of his name but he's not really that important for the team anymore. I would choose someone else, maybe Campbell because he's more famous but my choice due to importance right now would be Kendall Waston, his thing is that he's a badass giant CB who scores a lot.

Here's him scaring the poo poo out of a journalist when celebrating the WC qualification https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVRlikz7elI


e: Bryan had a column in the now dead newspaper Al Dia, interesting. He's not really know for that though.

Gareth Southgate - writing a book

Harry Kane

Joe Hart - golden gloves

John Stones - literally made of stones

Kyle Walker - a price tag

Gary Cahill

Jordan Henderson - hardworking (sweating, maybe building a wall made of footballs)

Dele Alli

Eric Dier - maybe taking a set piece?

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain - rugby

Raheem Sterling - short, funny haircut and sideburns, runs fast

Marcus Rashford - a play on his youth, maybe a lollipop

Daniel Sturridge - earphones? Seems he has a record company

Chris Smalling


Comments welcome!

Our deadlines got moved today and to meet them we'll have to draw fewer players in "special" poses. :( The huge majority will have to be in ordinary running / shooting the ball poses.

We could do Nainggolan as a t-rex or something, he looks really mean. And we already have Fellaini blowing a dandelion because his hair is like a dandelion. :downs:
