Ps.While some of C. Shy's BL vampires look great, for example some
gargoyles, George Frederick & Reg Driscoll just make me cry. George is
clearly Ambrosio the Thumb (with hair and bigger nose), while Reg
looks like Augustus Giovanni after a short swim in the Canals of
Venice!
It seems that the story goes like this: George is Ambrosio L.Moncada,
first killed by Lucita, and then Daemonically possessed by Reg, (who
is really Augustus, the Secret Puppet Master behind the Samedi)! Maybe
Silvia G. or Andrea G. has fleshcrafted poor Ambrosio, too. And now
The not-so-big-anymore Ambrosio is Camarilla vampire, spying to his
new master.

Or what about Karl who looks very reminiscent <sp> of Samat? Or
Ilse? who looks very much like Ur-Shulgi? And what's up with Tom,
Larry and Barry looking strikingly similar?
I cannot believe that people think this guy has talent. I am a travesty
when it comes to art (I couldn't color my way out of a preschoolers
coloring book) but you give me a copy of a good graphics package
and I could do just as well.

Blood Brothers from the same circle are fleshcrafted to look like
one another.

Yep, this is a case where Shy's art really fit the project.
They all look the same, but slightly different.
Can't pick on Shy this time :-),

Maybe in the future, Christopher Shy should only paint Blood Brothers then.

Couldn´t have said better! Witheach new set that comes out, the people
who don´t like Shy´s art get more and more dissapointed and pissed at
WW, and the poeple who do like his art get more and more bored....
Please, if someone at WW would listen to us! Please! In the future,
limit Shy to making VERY FEW, VERY VERY FEW vampires in each set, if
any at all... or at least have him make some non-vampire art for a
change.

Actually, I have to correct myself slightly.
Having looked over the Blood Brothers vampires, why in the heck
didn't they keep one artist to producing one circle?
Not Shy's fault really, but a key point to the Shy/Snelly bitching
is that they make the vampires indistinct with 2 artists doing most of the
work. So why the heck would you mix profiles (by artist) within a Circle?!?!?
Fargin stupid. Time to fargin hire a new art director. Today would
be fine, well maybe Friday would be better.

- Simply amazed at how something simple like assigning art
can be screwed up so royally. What do they do, draw slips out

Shy and Snelly bashing aside, has anyone noticed that nearly all the
cards, not just vampires, have a blurry look to them? I swear I was
getting a headache last night as my eyes kept trying to focus but to
no avail. Nearly every card has some sort of fuzziness to it. Am I
alone in this observation?

I'm delighted by Shy’s artwork on crypt cards. His vampires look
like vampires: ageless, sinister and corpselike, yet with a sort of
tainted beauty. I love the gray washes, exotic features and glassy
eyes. And I appreciate most of all the subtlety of expression on his
vampires' faces. He gives the game a touch of class. I hope Whitewolf
will continue to use him for the majority of the crypt cards.

Of course, Shy only did the female Blood Brothers - Terry and Ilse, of
Chicago and Torrance respectively. Barry, Larry, Jerry and Tom are all
the same model for Snelly, and may also be the same model for Truman,
Mark, Jack and Karl.
