Gregorski Posted July 30, 2013 Author Share Posted July 30, 2013 Could you sign and number them near (or within) the main artwork for people who will cut off the border when framing? That's the thing. Generally, the tradition is to sign a print close to the edge. It might look weird if it's too close to the centre. I'd be happy to do so though if people request it individually.

Gregorski Posted July 31, 2013 Author Share Posted July 31, 2013 Quick recap. Most of the flat colour added. Now it's a matter of adding shadows and tones(like I've done with parts of the "H"), add a few more objects, especially in the "E" and tidy up the lines. Still a bit to do but on target for this weekend. Aye, still not managed to fix Gary Mackay. Do that 2mo. The final version will be set out like this with a white background...

One of the many things I have to get round too. I get what you mean about his shirt but it's actually a fold in the material so you don't see the whole letter "o". It'll be more obvious when I add the shading and tones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Chat Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 The big key at the Foster Derby was a 21st key btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pants Shaton Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 The 21 key was made of tinfoil, looked a bit like this, and (IIRC) the 21 was at the end. On another point, I'd agree that Pressley lifting the cup should feature - he captained us to one of our 8 Scottish Cup wins and played a big role in 05/06 season as well as our achievements under Levein. I don't want this to become a Pressley thread but it's true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregorski Posted July 31, 2013 Author Share Posted July 31, 2013 The big key at the Foster Derby was a 21st key btw. Yeah, I know. I used some artistic license to make it "22". But, I can change it back to 21. Not fussed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Chat Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 21 is better - it's an iconic image. Agreed. But Prhessley can suck my fecking balls. The only picture involving that snake should be his banner in flames. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devorgilla Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Although the unbeaten run was 22. Surely that worth reminding about, permanently? I think 21 too and I'm sure it was tinfoil on cardboard on that great day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMac-89 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Gregorski have you any left? This whole fuss around Pressley is quite irksome to me. Bearing in mind how he gave everything for the club and the only thing that ever grated on me about him was his faux salute when he went to Celtic. I still remember after the Holland game when we got routed and he had to come off because his jaw was knackered and couldn't header it. Still wanted to play though. Arguably the finest skipper we have had in the last twenty years. If the shots of them lifting the cup with Glidden, Locke, Pressley and Big Zal were emblazoned on it, I would be fair away with it. But it's your brainchild mate and it's looking cracking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clanmac Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Can't really see why Pressley shouldn't be on it personally he did a fantastic job under difficult circumstances,always a cup final legend in my eyes. Time to let things go I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's your brainchild mate and it's looking cracking. Yeah, there's a lot that I've not been able to add that I would have liked to. The fact that I only got two keepers, Gordon and Banks was a a shame also as being a child of the eighties, Henry was a big hero. It has just came down to how much space and time I had to work with in the end.I'm sure I'll do other Hearts related projects in the future though as this has been great fun to do.

Shaggy2 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I vote Pressley IN. El Capitano on one of the three occasions Hearts have lifted a trophy in my lifetime. Feck me, we (almost) ALL hate Vlad now do we not? Elvis just got there a bit sooner! Didn't like what he did but well I guess I must be a grown up. because I couldn't give a shit now (or the day after it happened). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
