I have seen other Blood Bros' in www.ebaystores.com/dragonzeyegames, but not Truman's, so if someone would send his stats, I would be thankful. Antero Leppänen 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.

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. :/

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. Bernie Bresnahan - Simply amazed at how something simple like assigning art can be screwed up so royally. What do they do, draw slips out of a fargin hat??

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. chris > > Can't pick on Shy this time :-), > > BernieTime -- chris shorb <www.vtesinla.org> (A V:TES site in development) prince of torrance, california Ultimate Disc - Hockey - Vampire the Eternal Struggle Ebay page <http://members.ebay.com/aboutme/vtessingles/>
