New post for 2023 titles
Books:
Characters:
Memorable lines:
Looks like it is going to be a fun one this year Pete!!!
Well 2023 didn't end up being much fun. Let's hope 2024 is an improvement. So here's a brand new post for the new year, a couple of weeks late but who's counting, for 2024 names and titles.
And since this is in the Art Studio forum I'd better include some art a stupid picture as the last five posts, excepting Diomede's which includied a gallery link, haven't exhibited even a whiff of an image.
So here's an old, rather poorly conceived and even poorerly implemented movie poster...
You can see that I decided to leave all the stops firmly in, can't you ?
STICK NO BILLS
(aka reserved space for the poster)
And on to the real reason for this post.
Book titles for 2024:
Character names for 2024:
Let's start 2024 with the ones from that poster
And a few good words to roll around your palate and savour:
omitted (if you don't know, don't ask)
(Feel free to nick* any of the titles in this thread for your own films, plays, novels, performance art pieces, etc, and to similarly nick any of the names)
*That's English nick**, not American nick*** - obviously a couple more names to add
**English Nick's a tea leaf
***American Nick's a slasher - not a very good one though
Nice one. Need to do more in B&W. Also need better fonts. Where did you get the ones used in your movie poster?
Anyway, by coincidence, been having technical/hardware issues, so I did a satire aimed at a certain tech company.
Drivers Needed by Miles Milano
What the critics are saying:
“Miles writes an action packed tour-de-farce.” -- New York Times
“Miles does it again. Thrill a minute page turner...” -- Chicago Tribune
“Guns. Mystery. Women in Nylons! Motion picture potential...” -- Los Angeles Times
“A good cure for insomnia...” -- Kirkus Reviews
Hurrah, a book cover !
:happy dance:
All my non-standard fonts are free ones usually from, I think, either 1001fonts.com or dafont.com, and one of those font-finder sites tells me that what I used in the poster is Sofachrome Regular by Typodermic.
Here's a shortlist of some free fonts I know I've got, most likely from 1001fonts:
(Edit: links added to list below. All except Foucault available at 1001fonts)
Sci-fi: Android Insomnia, Lazenby Computer, Liquid, Neurochrome, Space Age,
Classic: Celtic Hand, Cloister Black, JSL Blackletter, Foucault, Reynold,
Unusual: Elfic Caslin, Lovecrafts Diary, Wizard Speak,
Miscellaneous: Kirjainkone, Psychedelia HM, Vtks Desgaste, Creepster. Liquidism
There's a number of good free fonts for book covers mentioned in the second post of Philebus "Pulped Fiction" tutorial here Pulped Fiction - Daz 3D Forums - plus of course it's an excellent guide for creating your own classic pulp covers.
Another one I used for poker chips was a font called, I think, Broadway (or Broadway Regular) - but it's not on my laptop any more and I can't find it...
Thanks for the tip. Registered & just finished trying a couple their fonts. Seem to work fine on aging versions of Photoshop and Illustrator.
Mildly amusing (to me at least) was 1001 font's User-Name robot. I am "Tyke" -- apparently auto-corrected from Tynkere. Who cares though. Call me what they want if free content. ;)
Best wishes & have a good 2024
Not exactly a book cover, but... well... who's checking...
Sorry, I had the thread starred and meant to comtribute earlier in the year but forgot :( I'll try an come up with a book or magazine cover to contribute soon.
Nice work on this one tho - makes me want to play Dungeon Keeper again now!
Dungeon Keeper !
Ah, yes... I wasted many, many hours playing that... many, many years ago...
Anyway, just to do something useful with this post - I found some printouts of all the extra free fonts that I added to GIMP, of which I've attached photos to this post.
The first two sheets are the Khmer and Klingon fonts that I had. None of these were from the standard places I mentioned before so I'll try and find links to them if anybody's interested.
The others are what I classified as symbol, miscellaneous, historic, scifi and handwriting - I think these were all from the standard free font sources mentioned previously and many/most I've already listed. Once again I'll try to find download links for any ones not already listed.
