A challenge to artists.

I want a "larper grrl" icon. :)

(As I was discussing with leighjen once, I think there could be a cool T-shirt in that idea, too, showing a bunch of women in various LARPy costumes and poses. But I can't draw worth crap, so someone else'll have to do it.)

The trick would be winding up with a picture that didn't look like a stereotypical fantasy pin-up ...

Well, this is true. I think my mental image is something along the lines of a cartoon. The whole point, to my mind, would be to show that women who LARP aren't all of the chainmail-bikini-wearing variety, and nor are we some boy's Boris Vallejo fantasy.

But yes, the artist would have to be chosen carefully.

There is actually a great photo on the MJ site of a group of us on the path to the ranger camp from the first MJ 2 game. It's the one with me and allan as two blue wargs and then a bunch of other folks. The title is "all colors and sizes" or something. One player, T. is on the far right with a shield and sword aimed at the camera. She'd be a great icon. I love that shot of her!

I can guarentee if you got a decent artist, they'd sell well.

Do you have photos on a site that I don't need to register for to view? I can draw but don't really know what LARPers wear.

The trouble being that..LARPer Grrls, are just as varied as the bois. Some wear the armor and swing the swords, some wear the robes and swing the wands.

Perhaps some kind of picture that has a grrl...wearing armour, and breaking a wand/staff? I dunno.. this is just my sideways way of saying "hey! Just cause your Water and I'm Fire and dead things, dosen't mean I cant add you to my friends list!"
