FABLE 2 ART MODELS WANTED

Published Friday, May 30, 2008 3:38 PM by Woody

ART MODELS WANTED!

[UPDATE: we have some technical issues with the news system, it will be fixed and we hope to have the competition up as soon as possible again.]

Would you like to become a part of the world of Albion in perpetuity and reside in one of the most luxurious homes in the Xbox360 exclusive Fable 2?

Well this is your chance to do just that! We are looking for artist's models to pose for the paintings which will adorn the wall of Albion's finest residences.

All you have to do is send in a picture of yourself in suitable artistic pose. Think old master, royal portraits or even the Mona Lisa! Dress up as an old or modern hero, go out to the countryside and find yourself a deer to shoot (not recommended) or just strike a suiting pose in front of an open fire. The thing that would make it even better is if you were to act out an expression from the original Fable.

Photographs will have to make it into our mailbox by Wednesday 4th June, you will also have to sign a piece of paper so that we're allowed to include you in the game (and if you are under age a parent or guardian will have to sign on your behalf) plus everything needs to happen pretty quickly! Finally make sure you've read the small print here.


Here are just two examples:

John L. Burns, the "old hero of Gettysburg," and King Otto

what age is 'of age'?

RAVEK said:

If you don't know what 'of age' means it's unlikely you are of age.

Damn, where is a open fire place when needed?

Can't I just re-send my Hobba Lisa, from the Fan Art section? Sad [:(]

I still think that the whole people sending in theeir own drawings of weapons as a competition would be awesome also.

Unfortunately I wont have the time to do a proper picture for this thingmebob as it is at such short notice. G o o d [Good] luck though

bannostookaylo said:

so apparently no one has read the small print yet like he told us to... you have to be 13yrs or older.
May 30, 2008 2:59 PM
 

bannostookaylo said:

this is pretty cool but i still want video diary 6 out LOL
May 30, 2008 2:59 PM
 

Byronichero7 said:

The "of age" part means 13 or older. Read the "small print here" section.

5. Winner Selection: There will be one winner.

Only one winner! What a bummer-- surely there will be lots of pictures in Fable, too bad they can't accept several.

wish I had time to grow a scraggly lookin' beard, that'd make for a cool picture, oh well. By the way, we gonna get an update from Sam anytime soon?
May 30, 2008 11:20 PM
 

Ralph_on_me said:

Can the background of the photo be digitally modified?  Some settings are just boring or may have a decidedly un-fable-ish feature (like a street sign) that needs to be removed.

Also, how many photos can we send in?  I have at least three outfits in mind.

Okay, here we go. Of age is 13. There is only one winner. To attach a photo, hit the attach option when you're sending the email. The address you need is webmaster@lionhead.com. ... I'm going to go with "no" on the nakedness... but I can't back that up.. and as far as I'm aware.. the "signing" is just you giving your permission for the photo to be used in your email.. could be wrong about that though...

why is lionhead so slow like they taking all there time on this dog? like the dog is stupid wake up lionhead and get a map becuase i want to ditch my dog . another thing tell us the release date i sshould be coming up in 2 months becuase they had soo long since like 3 years ago this better be better than gta4 becuase there spending so much time all i hope is its a 10/10 peace.

That small print really is small...

June 2, 2008 6:08 PM
 

DegreesVincent said:

I think "lionheadissoslow" and "SirBobert117"(obviously a halo fan, hense the numbers 117) are douche bags. He(as in lionhead-is-so-slow) puts down ideas (like the dog), he expects every thing just because lionhead have made sure that you get it all done this time(am I not right), and worst of all, they both put so much weight on lionhead's shoulders, and are expecting everything and more. I expect it to be fun but im not demanding it am I?

I don't know if my friend and I will be able to get this picture in by June 4th. We'll try, we have a great idea too.

Mongrel11 said:

cool idea this picture thing G o o d [Good] way to get people involved. the only thing is i though at the gdc peter and the team were finishing up the game that week and it would be done...i might be mistaking though. VIDEO DIARY SIX whats the deal there at least sam would leave a comment or something on to the situation there would be nice dont you think?
June 3, 2008 1:47 PM
 

stu_fargher said:

I agree with DegreesVincent. This game will come out when it comes out. If you're feeling the need to go play a map game with no dog, go play GTA4 or some other game created by game developers who didn't had the guts to try something new... or just didn't see a reason to try something new... GTA4 would be a little odd with a dog sticking around... but really... making demands of a creative process is really just douch-baggerie.
June 3, 2008 3:38 PM
 

stu_fargher said:

and another thing... remember guys, the whole thing with the video diary being late has nothing to do with Lionhead or Sam (so ease up on the guy). Sam announced on May 1st that the video was finished and out of Lionhead's hands... it's now gone out into the abyss which is Microsoft's domain. So blame Microsoft.

discoswords said:

I don't want to put too much pressure on Lionhead's shoulders or anything, but I'd really appreciate it if Sam or someone could just tell if they know what the problem with the video is and when it might be available. Just an explanation would be enough for me.
June 4, 2008 12:29 PM
 

discoswords said:

Scracth that, I just found the blog where he talked about the date for the video being June 21st. Thank you Sam!
June 4, 2008 1:03 PM
 

Mongrel11 said:

where did he talk about the date bieng june 21st. for clarification i dont care if its late i would just like to know when its supposed to come out so i can stop looking at this site so often

i JUST read from the latest gamer magazine (Pelaaja, came out yesterday 5.6.200Glasses [8)] that there are rumors that Lionhead is behind schedule in the developing progress and the publishing will be delayed. PLEASE tell me this is not the case !! ! !

FlyHat said:

Hey don´t put so much stress on them!
You know, you wouldn´t DIE if the game came out a bit later.
I rather wait longer for a G o o d [Good] game instead of getting a game now thats...not as G o o d [Good].

Not whinin' or anything, but are we going to get an update anytime soon? I know Sam said the next video diary won't come out till late June, but I haven't seen an update on here in while now.

I sent in a pic of me lending over a table, resting my head on the back of my hand. It didnt show all of me but I didnt find any other that would fit, also I feelt it could fit as a framed picture in one of the many houses since it is antiqued in Microsoft Picture it! Photo 7.0, (I hope that isnt a break of rules though) last I look quite poetic on the pic I sent in Stick out tongue [:P]
