Woo-hoo! Nice way to start a Friday. Our limited edition Draw the World Together Sketchbooks – full of City of Heroes characters sketched by some of the best artists in the biz – arrived today. Behold the ‘exciting’ unboxing!
They look really rather nice, and the print quality is really ‘sketchbook-like’ if that makes sense – not as slick as a newsstand magazine, but not like a cheap photocopied fanzine either!!
As have a strictly limited initial run we decided we’d hand-number each one… well, after we had a good flick through of course….
Overall, I’m sure happy with ‘em and I hope everyone who donates a mere £5 to EveryChild to get their hands on one will be too. Remember, they go on sale at next weekend’s Comic Expo!
Speaking of which, I guess I better throw my £5 into the charity tin to get things started!

Rockjaw, have you skanked print number 1?!
#3 by Mystie at May 2nd, 2008
Very nice work guys
Looking forward to having a copy!

Believe it or not we’ve already sold 14 of ‘em by just wandering around the office! This bodes well for the show…
10 are also being set aside to get signed and then auctioned… but already going like warmed bread products!

I will be there. I will have one. Oh, what an end to a week off work. Lovely!

Save some for the Con!
I’ve got 2 other players that are chomping at the bit for a copy each.
I might be a nice chap and get Dave Gibbons to sign the covers

@Geoffrey – Nope, the first hand-numbered ten are going to (hopefully) be signed and will go up for auction.
Chris and I almost took numbers 2 and 3… but decided not to bother in the end. So I’ve got number 22. And very nice it is too.

Damn, if someone could pick me up a copy of one… i will gladly reimburse you for it.

As this’ll be the first meet I can’t get to, any chance of popping by the office to pick one up?
#10 by Rockjaw at May 3rd, 2008
Sure Dante – you have the contact, after all. Ask your ‘inside man’ to sort you out.
Not an open invitation, btw – no offence to anyone else, but Dante does work in the same office complex as us.

Conspiracy! :O
Hmm, it’s either pick up that, or pick up Factions or Nightfall for GW… choices choices. Doubt I’ll be grabbing a sketch this time.

So, what’s inside the sketchbook, and how do we get it if we live literally on the other side of the globe?
#13 by Rockjaw at July 30th, 2008
Uh, sketches? Lots of nice sketches?
We’re still planning on putting the sketchbook in an online store – we just have some issues to work out first. When that happens you’ll be able to order from just about anywhere.

I guess I was wondering if all of the subjects would be recognizable to a regular player or if it might be “best of the sketch gallery” or something?

All of the sketches are of COH and COV signature characters, so there’s Statesman, Ms. Liberty, Lord Recluse, Scirroco, Synapse, Sister Psyche, etc etc. Ask anyone here, it’s very good.
