Ok, so Inglourious Basterds was one of
fordshepherd ’s and my favorite films from last year. I think I personally saw it 4 times in the theaters. Well,
nerfcoyote knew that Ford was a big fan of the film and came up with the alternate title of “Inglourious Shepherds” to poke fun at his shepherd antics. I thought this was a great idea for a piece of gift art, so when Yippie was out in Columbus for Thanksgiving, I checked with him to see if I could use his character Baron as part of an “Inglourious Shepherds” movie poster. He thought it was a great idea, so I went about the process to get it commissioned.
I really wanted
chibi_marrow to do the picture because I thought her style would be perfect for it. At the time I first inquired, she was in the middle of the 100 sketch challenge as well as a busy life schedule, so she informed me it would be some time before she could take it on. Since I really wanted her to do the pic, I didn’t mind waiting and we touched base again at FWA this year to make it happen. I’m really glad that I waited as she did such a fantastic job!
Thanks go out to Yippie, and
rlfjr03 for use of their shepherd characters.
Special thanks to
huscoon for being good natured enough to allow me to use his character as the “bad guy” *hugs*
Go here to see the pic on FA and check out Marrow’s work:
