With the popularity of the wanted posters, I thought about all the most memorable characters that Farscape has given us over the last three seasons. Of course producing all of these would be a bit of overkill, but a few of these would be awesome for the campaign.
Bekhesh
Volmae
Gilina
a Sheyang
Maldis
NamTar
Rorf
Captain Selto Durka
Jack Crichton
M'Lee
Br'Nee
T'raltixx
a Scarran
Jothee
Diagnosan Tocot
Grunchlk
Pathfinder Neeyala
Kaarvok
a Colartas
Linfer
Co-Kura Strappa
Mu-Quillus
Sierjna
Raxil
a Charrid
Xhalax Sun
Can anyone think of any more that are really popular? I think I've covered the majority.

How about one for Jenavian Chatto. I've always liked her. Actually her character is the one that the creators of Farscape have done the greatest disservice in not bringing back in a later episode. Can you just imagine, John and Aeryn are finally settled together and WHOOSH!!! enters Jena!:D

one of those feather people from out of their minds
From another post i did:
If (only if, no prssure) you are going to make more PK propaganda, I wanted to suggest making a 'Grayza wants you' one. kinda like uncle sam wants you, BUT instead of her pointing, she's motioning with her index finger for the viewer 'to come here' (do you know what I mean?). Kinda gives 'Grayza wants you' a double entendre. LOL

Bandana Girl: I'll make a Ratscape Style poster of Einstein for you if you like. I'm not as good as him though, so...
Also, doe any of you know the font he uses for the WANTED: text?
EDIT: Here's what I can do without the font. The text is a little...fuzzy/messy, but I had to repaint it rather than rewrite it.
Also, Ratscape, if you don't want me doing/posting these, let me know and I'll take it down ASAP.

I would like to request more 'Watch Farscape' posters (you can find these at the Farscape e-card site) I went postering the other day and someone saw a watch farscape poster and started talking to me. It was a Scaper who didn't know about the cancellation!!!:eek:

I definitely would go for a Gilina...my wife and I are thinking that if we have a daughter we'll name her Gilina.
Does anyone who knows how to do this awesome artwork have the time to work a little favor for me? I am big into old VWs and want a really eye-catching image of my VW camper for my webpage. If someone would p-mail me dj_qax@yahoo.com and let me know, I'll send the image and definitely give credit on my site.

Hey Praetorian,
You want to try your hand at another one? How about another version of Jena, this time with her hair down like in the image posted earlier in this thread. Though if you can get a still of it, an ideal view of her is when she is inviting John into her tent for the night in LatP pt3.

Thanks Jeff. :D That one was SOOOO tough, the lighting in that scene is complicated as hell. Her lips alone took 3 tries to get right. :p
Who should I do next guys? I was thinking Durka, or maybe a better Einstein (I don't like the first one I did, it was done from a bad vidcap and an odd angle which made it difficult to see differences in light and shadow.)

05-02-2003, 03:50 PM
You mean Ratscape hasn't done Durka yet? Heck, why not? If you've got the time, run with it man. Aeryn's mother, I don't believe, has been immortalized yet by you or Ratscape either;) (hint, hint, nudge, nudge):D

Hi Praetorian!!!
I like the jena poster you did.
Would you be able to put some these in brighter colours. (lets just say where I am from it is dark or very grey for half of the year, due to our 'National nightmare' called winter). Brighter colours are much easier to notice in the winter time (yes, I put up posters in the winter. Usually you can put up 10 b4 losing the feeling in your fingers:P )

Darth Buddha
05-06-2003, 02:15 PM
Praetorian, despite your modesty, I think your work is every bit as good as Ratscape's ... it's just different in feel.
His work is very reminiscent of those severe fascist and communist propaganda posters from the mid 20th century (especially his new Keep the Peace stuff), but yours is... and I suspect from your avatar that this observation will not be objectionable to you ... more anime in feel.
I like both styles a lot... though in the slide show I'm using as a screensaver I put your stuff and his stuff in separate groups.
That screensaver has drawn some very interested queries from my office mates, and I'm planning a showing to two of them to get some more converts...
... so your efforts and Ratscape's are demonstrated GREAT advertising as far as I am concerned!:aok:
Bandana Girl
05-07-2003, 01:08 PM
Hi Umm .. I really like the posters, but umm... maybe you could move them to a new thread. The subjsct has kinda drifted a little.:confused:
And about the colours. I guess I mean brighter and vibrant (I'm sorry if it's not helping much:( ) like yellow, a blue with no greys in it, umm, red, pink:confused: I'm not exactly good with colours but anything with a lot of Bluey grey won't catch a passerby's attention in the winter (I poster in areas where there are usually posters up already) and the bighter colour ones(like durka for instance) REALLY POP OUT against a grey or black backgound (or overcast skies) They practically grab a passerby's attention I hope it clears things up. Thanks for being so patient and answering back:)
Bandana Girl
05-07-2003, 01:22 PM
I think I mean put larger contrast on colours right next to each other
praetorian
05-07-2003, 03:20 PM
Ok, I see what you're saying now. Yeah, the thing is I actually prefer more muted and darker colors. :p I will try and make some brighter ones though.
As to moving them to a new thread...I could, but I think for the time being I'll just keep posting them here.

Wanted: John Chrichton.
You'll probably notice that I changed the font for the text. This is because I've realized I can't rely on recoloring previous posters anymore, and since I don't have the font Ratscape uses...well there it is. I would ask him for it, but he probably paid for it and I don't want to ask him to give to me what he had to buy...
Anyway, I used the Farscape font, and it still looks good so...

NebariNookie,
i edited your thread title a tad so that this can be a one-stop-shopping spot for other artists to contribute their stunning versions of the Wanted Posters.
i've also edited red's thread title to reflect the one-stop-shopping spot for ratscape's Wanted Posters.
this way, hopefully, nobody has to look too hard to find what they need.
beautiful work praetorian, btw.

Praetorian, that poster of John is the best yet!

A few suggestions...
... I'd replace Wilson (3 of diamonds) with Furlow.
... I'd replace Plonek (Queen of Clubs) with Ahknah (the red femail scarran with the hat)
... and switch Rygel and Moya (Rygel, being Dominar, should be King of Hearts)
GREAT STUFF!!!!!

If these posters can be scaled down they would be very good link images for all those webmasters out there that have websites but no nessarily Farscape sites. We of course of the link banners but these would be on a smaller scale. Kind of like the badge/icon the Farscape webmasters use. 100px x 100px or whatever is to proportion would be good enough I think.

Frellin amazing!! :eek: The cards are awesome!
Very nice indeed waltersgirl! :)
Is it ok if I download them and print them? I could print them on photo paper and use them when playing with my freinds that say they "hate" science fiction". I'll bet they would want me to put on every FS DVD in sight after seeing those cards.
A massive :hug: for you waltersgirl!

The FS cards can be downloaded from here:
http://www.myfarscape.com/images/mostwanted/mostwanted.zip
Feel free to do whatever ya want with them, it's a copyright violation to sell them I'm sure, so keep that in mind when you make physical copies. I would like to retain come kind of connection to them, but so long as they play a role in reviving Farscape I don't care what happens to them :)
I will happily make changes on good suggestions. I DID completely forget Furlow! I also don't have any decent images from the cool looking scarrans at the end of season 4. If anybody has any good ones please send them to me.
I'm gonna implement Trubador's and Selina's suggestions as soon as possible. Will update when I get the images.
I haven't decided on a back for the cards yet, somebody suggested they should say "save farscape" and give a url with lots of info, like savefarscape.com which is a good idea.
I looked into printing, and it's sure not cheap, and they prefer to keep it under 4 colors. I'm not sure if the images I used can be reduced to 4 colors. somebody out there has to photographic cards, I mean I've seen 'dirty' decks before :) Oh well, the search goes on.

Blindingforce: Are you resizing the .gif I posted? If so, convert it to RGB and then resize, and the image should come out looking a whole lot better. Since you're sizing down, quality loss isn't a problem.
BlindingForce
07-07-2003, 02:41 PM
yeah that's pretty much what i did. I did it in literally a minute because of other work I'm doing but I'll make it higher quality later.

07-07-2003, 03:08 PM
If you copy the image and paste it into a blank photoshop document, then increase the pixel density to something large (600+) and then shrink the image it should come out relatively nice when you save it as a gif or jpg.

Welcome to the board, Ladyslug!
Well this IS the place for Praetorian's works. I guess RL has kept him away as I KNOW he wants to redo the Einstein he did earlier.

Everyone wants to be a critic ... so here's my nickel's worth ... how about swapping Princess Katralla who will be regent in 80 cycles to the Queen of Diamonds and Zhaan to the 10 of hearts as she is a 10th level Pa'u.

Actually screen resolution is only 72 dpi so if you scale it up and then scale it back down you're going to get the same thing. The high quality pictures you see are actually because the original was a high res version scaled down so it has more pixels to work with. When you resample an image from 72 to say 600 the computer randomly inserts pixels and when you shrink it then it randomly takes them away. If I'm working with a 72 dpi image to begin with it's not going to make much of a difference...that is unless it's being used for print instead of on screen which doesn't pertain to this. Line art such as the posters will actually come out sharper as gifs and photos as jpegs just because of the tones and colors, or lack there of. I appreciate the comments and the help but it's really just a matter of me doing it really quick and not working from an original. If the artist does these himself it's going to come out in a higher quality because he's working from the actual file and not a flattened gif. I wasn't talking about somebody sending me an original file. I thought about that after I wrote it and I would never ask to do that. Just wanted to clarify and to give some info on resizing.

There's program called Fractals (or something similar) that mycattoldme told me about. It will enlarge an image and increase the resolution of an image without much distortion.
from mycattoldme:
There is a 20 use FREE trial version from Lizardtech.com - its a simple photoshop plug-in.

The home page is http://www.altamira-group.com/solutions/photo/
I haven't tried it yet, but she's a professional graphic artist, so if she says it works, I believe her.

Say, these are georgeous! You've captured the essence of the characters in these images. I'm wracking my brain trying to figure out how the ChicagoScapers could make use of these. (I'm sure something will pop into my brain sooner or later.)

yeah it works. I've used it myself before but again from what I've used it for it was mostly for print. It works much in the same way in terms of resampling and if it ups the res to make a crisper higher res image that's great. It's just an extra plugin to get.

Your style has certainly evolved, Praetorian, and this new style you've come up with is very impressive.
I'd use an adjective to categorize this style and how it differs from some other stuff out there (say, from the severe propaganda posters and the stark wanted posters of ratscapes equally impressive art), but I'm half afraid I'd slight you in my ignorance. What would you call it?

It's great when you're up till 4am working and you go onto the forum and you find this kind of work. Amazing use of space. Best part of this image is the hair on top of his head. Your eyes fill in the space. (Edit: I love the colors as well. Normally you would think green but this palette is great. One thing i'd like to ask is what color swatches do you use...or is it custom? The designer in me is curious)
Only thing i can suggest is to put more leading space between Wanted and Farscape Season 5. Not too much. maybe another 1.8 of an inch. Just seems too close to me. The colon is almost touching the 5...but this is me after just working on a layout.
praetorian
07-15-2003, 03:15 AM
Well, when I actually work on the image, I'm pretty ambivilant with my color use. Usually base color, darker shade of that, then black for the harsh shadows. Once everything is done, then I go through the color picker and just drag around until I find something that feels right, then I find a darker/complimentary shade for the shadow, and an even darker/complimentary shade to replace the black.
Also, thanks for the suggestion about the text. I moved the colon to a more appropriate area and centered the "Wanted:" text. I think it looks a lot better. :D

07-11-2004, 09:45 PM
Surely we can have a specific Scarran? As the resident Scarran fanatic, I'd suggest Captain Jennekl (male) or Tausa (female, from 3.11 Incubator). Ahkna's a good choice as well, as long as you use the one from the mini spoilers.

I've made something inspired by Ratscapes art, it's my first computer artwork ever. It's not exactly a Wanted poster, more like one of the signs he did in his propaganda poster thread. But anyway I think it is rather good.
Since I have no webspace, is there anyone having a farscape site who is willing to put it up there?

Sarumouse,
That's a great design, but the color combination is not the best. Let me tell you why. My local copy shop owner told me the very best color combo for color contrast is black on yellow. If you look closer at yours in green, the smaller text seems to disappear. Switch from green to yellow and see what happens!:D

Hi everyone, thanks so much for your comments :) makes all the work worthwhile!
@Jeffrabb: I'll try and play a little with the color and see how it will turn out. Although the "Personal File" part was just intended as something like a watermark, to make the green background less empty, if you know what I mean. Hadn't thought so far as to printing it out. :)
Maybe for the print I should make the text easier to read...
