2012 Steampunk Pin-up Calendar (Full Steam Ahead!)

[mephit]

Sorry I disappeared, life held me hostage and then a virus mowed me down. I managed to wiggle free and am well again.

Is there a date when everything really must be underway in order to get the calendar out in time?  Wondering if my cohort in crime Mr. Bagdaddy has time to submit a photo as well.

He does indeed. Please!

[Wilhelmina Frame]

Just poked my photog again about the hires and the release.

So noted.

[Wilhelmina Frame]

They said they would do it yesterday.....for some reason they are working on the paying subjects first. Lol.

[KatarinaNavane]

Alright, I finally have pictures, but having some decision problems about which to use so I need your help!

Those three are the ones I've narrowed it down to--which is best, do you think?

also, just for fun, Mom's dog invaded one of the pics:

I could not choose so I closed my eyes and pointed at the screen and actually ended up pointing off the screen, so no help from me.     All 3 are quite lovely. 

[OswaldBastable]

There all good but the top one is the nicest I think

Alright, I finally have pictures, but having some decision problems about which to use so I need your help!

So, send all three to us and we'll make the decision!

[Wilhelmina Frame]

Is there a new official deadline because I doubt I'll get my release and image unless I give an ultimatum!

[Dr Victor von K]

Since it seems that you are still open for submissions I take it you haven't reached your desired limit?
In that case, I am intrested in perhaps submitting a last minute submission.
Just one question; when you say "pinup" images instantly come to mind and I'm not that shy. How quirky/sexy/funny do you want the calendar to be? We Victorian men tend to be very overdressed. I'd like to prove that we can show a little skin too

[Guinevere Meander]

Katarina, please tell me where You got those eyecatching stockings/tights...whatever they are.
WANT!!.

[Nefthys]

Now that I have just gotten my life back in order since returning from Europe I can sit down and do a photoshoot. I'll send along the images. Hoping to get a decent shoot next week. They are forecasting snow! So I kinda want to try get some wintery shots (this may get cold...).

I suppose I should set some particular date. Tell them November 10th.

We are indeed still accepting submissions. I'm pretty open to the unusual in submissions, but keep in mind that we're selling this internationally and I have no way of proving the people ordering them are over the age of majority in their respective countries, so it would probably be best to keep things to a PG standard.

[Wilhelmina Frame]

I finally have hires and release! I will email files later this evening.

[Maranwet]

Pardon my hurrying to jump into the discussion since I joined the forum just recently. But if you still in need for more submissions I will be happy to contribute with my works if you happen to find them steampunk enough 

[scott40k]

when will the calender be available for sale please?

[Wilhelmina Frame]

My release and Dropbox links have been emailed. Please verify that they were received!

[mephit]

My apologies for being incommunicado there for a few days. My sister was visiting from Scotland (I'm in Memphis, TN, US) and so I've not had much time for the internet the last several days.

Wilhelmina and Katarina, I got both of your submissions, thanks! Katarina, I've sent you the release form again.

I had hoped to have it for sale in time to make Christmas gifts, but as I still only have 7 submissions out of the minimum of 12 needed, I'm still not sure anything is going to be printed at all.

I know it has been suggested that I could use more than one photograph of some of the models to fill out the calendar, but I'm not enamored of the idea. First off because I think all the multiple submissions I've gotten so far are different photos of the model from the same shoot (dressed the same and on the same background). This is fine for using one of them as it allows me to pick the pose and photo that looks best on the page but if I'm using multiple photos from the same shoot the calendar begins to look awfully repetitious which might make some folks paying money to buy one feel a little gypped.

Second, I don't have multiple submissions from every model, so some folks would only be in once and others would be in several times. That seems a bit less than equitable and while we who were reading through this thread and/or submitting photos would understand why, people buying the calendar might not and feel like some of the models were treated poorly. So as to your question, Assuming I can get another 5 submissions for the calendar, I'd still like to at least have them available in time for the new year.

Just been reading this thread and here is a pic my daughter did earlier this year. Not very SP but atmospheric just the same -



and here is one "in character" -

I can arrange another shoot if we need it also Lady Joanna has a stockpile of photo's from various shoots.....

Also could I ask what the male to female submission rate currently is?

Thanks

Scott.

[Xenos]

I myself could arrange something else, as well.  I've a new vest, and a few *decent* dress shirts.  IF you want me to.

...

So, um...  If this does NOT get off the ground, you WILL be posting the pictures of it here, yes?  Or in the pinup thread, yes?  *FLEES*

[DemoraFairy]

I have some photos from an older photoshoot with a different outfit if it would help... still the same model unfortunately, though. Different photographer so I'd have to redo the form, let me know if you'd use any of these.

Mr C is still up for modelling if you want, I'm sure he could do something manly and filthy with his shirt off.....
