My predators in a YCH?
11 years ago
General
I do love seeing large group scenes in which predators are in the process of nyoming/shoving various characters into several difference orifices. Hell I love it when predators are doing it to tease one prey in particular doing so. Problem is such scenes can be expensive as each individual character adds to the price because it takes the process even more longer for the artist to finish with all the details.
I've always considered proposing this to an artist, such as I pay for my predator characters (and perhaps a teased Nero) and they can auction off the prey slots. Though I don't really think my characters are that popular to warrant such a thing.
Unfortunately there are several possible cons to doing this.
1) The artist takes everyone's money and disappears, this has happened to me a few times already. I'm worried I'd become liable and would have to pay off all the screwed parties.
2) Those who buy the auction slots could cause problems of their own by not paying/being too nit picky/not being patient enough.
3) Possible drama. Such things no matter how well intentioned they may seem on paper can be sprinkled in kerosene and lit on fire.
4) Micheal Bay shows up and demands there to be lots of explosions in the scene and I mean not explosions of the orgasmic design. :/
P.S. This journal doesn't guarantee anything will happen, just one of my possible thoughts at the current moment. I always worry about how far south shit will go and I do have a hard time trusting strangers to be trustworthy. :/ And Micheal Bay won't stop haunting my dreams of transformers and explosions.

Swallowing smaller creatures IS a great way to keep 'em safe from explosions! That's one of the reasons for heavily armored belly plates.
2) Ebay has a feature called "second chance offers" where, if you decide you're fed up with waiting for someone to pay, a buy-it-now option is immediately set up for the second highest bidder. Best way around this would be to do something like that; to maybe hold a silent auction so that nobody can just bid ridiculously high right off the bat and scare everyone else off, and if they don't pay up in XX number of days, contact the second person in line.
3) Meh. . . That sort of thing can't really be insured against. Best way to try to prevent it would be to keep negotiations in PMs as much as possible (another reason to consider the silent auction format).
4) I'll put in a call to Uwe Boll and have the boxing ring set up in advance (don't worry, he'll only desecrate your characters if you make a video game about them).
I'd sic Roland Emmerich or Friedberg/Seltzer on Bay to keep him away from your project if I could instead, but those meat heads aren't nearly as easily provoked.
There are a rare few movies I dislike, but there are there... I enjoyed The Super Mario bros movie while most folks hated. For me it was an escape from reality really... Heh
