Shall we play a game? UPDATE & HINT

Tue Jan 20, 2009, 1:29 PM
Update & Hint

A big thanks to everyone who is exploring this story with us so far.  Just a quick update to clarify that this is designed so that you can start at any time and follow along at your own pace.  So feel free to jump in now, you won't have missed anything.  And if you know anyone who likes this sort of thing, send them a link too.

Hint: Not all web links are obvious, some don't look like anything at all.  But you'll know if you are at the right place.

(I think we may add some prizes.)

I say that with the utmost respect and comradeship. Beyond being a super artist, he is also a genuinely nice guy with a skill set about as diverse as they come.  If you are not already acquainted with his exceptional work, do yourself a favour and check out his gallery right away.

And if you are interested in something Entirely Different, be sure to give this one a look:



Why, you ask? Because it is more than it seems!  Aside from being a cool and well-composed image (the big-eared dude with the guns not withstanding ;-) ), it is also the Starting Point for an entirely new...well, I'm not quite sure what it is. A little game, a little story, a little stock.  We'll figure it out together. :D

The first clue is pretty big and obvious. I hope you'll follow it and see what you find.

More soon.

PS.  This project is designed to be fun and fairly straightforward, rather than impossible to solve.  If you get stuck or have questions, though, feel free to send a note.

======================

Jade's Stock Photo Request Policy:
----------------------------------------
As of March 2008, the only stock photos I will produce will be requests. If you need something specific for a project, I'd love to hear your pitch. To clarify, I'm not looking for ideas (I've got plenty of those), I am interested in collaborating with serious artists who need specific images or references. Please see this journal entry for complete details: [link]

======================

Jade's Stock Usage Boilerplate
-----------------------------------
The rule of thumb with my stock is: (Almost) No Rules. Do whatever non-commercial thing you want with them. If you need them to help you make a little scratch that's great, just contact me so we can work something out. Thank you.

Ugh, that hint doesn't help me at all. I've already found whatever hidden links there are. In fact, I've found the "real" dA account, as well as another famous site account. The Keys confuse me, considering there are two places mentioned that don't exist, which I know are just more easter eggs. You're KILLING me. I'm right there at the edge of the answers but I'm at a road block.

Don't give up! :D I'm here as a sort of NPC, so I can assist (once or twice ;-) ). Send me a note and I'll see what I can do...

I have no freaking idea what you are referring to, as I am usually considered to be entirely without guile, and fairly dense.

Also, I have no interest whatsoever in Bond. And I would WATCH YOUR BOND MOVIE. Which I guess is saying something.

I am honoured. I am a great fan of the literary Bond, but generally the movies I can take or leave (although I do like this Craig fellow's take on the character).

As for the game/story, if one were to follow certain links one might arrive at a place where all is not as it seems... One would likely know when one had arrived at the 'right place'.
