What's an epic Rat Court without some tunes?
Neil, the court jester, is here to bang them out.
Went a bit overboard with yesterdays submission, so i decided to take it easy with some traditional art today.
not sure what happened with those music notes.. yikes.
No percussion sticks here! It's a toy piano, as you can see from the white enharmonic keys. Inspired by a cute rat photo, look up "Neil bangs out the tunes."
I might also add that jesters are commonly depicted as pawns in themed chess sets, typically the ones where the pawns don't all look the same, usually ones designed to be fun for children.
Lol. The music in "Neil Banging out the Tunes" sounds like a xylophone, but I definitely see where your inspiration came from; now I understand your post :) It's a nice tune.
This is another one of those things that aren't sold through Amazon, so I don't get a commission on it - but it's just too good to leave out. PureRef is a fantastic piece of software that is both Windows and Mac compatible. It's used for collecting reference and compiling them into a moodboard. You can move them around freely, have them automatically arranged, zoom in/out and even scale/flip/rotate images as you please. If needed, you can also add little text notes.
When starting on a project, I'll often open it up and start dragging reference images off the internet onto the board. When I'm done, I'll save out a '.pur' file, which embeds all the images. They can get pretty big, but are way more convenient than hauling around folders full of separate images.
Did I mention you can get it for free? The developer allows you to pay whatever amount you want for it. They recommend $5, but they'll allow you to take it for nothing. Really though, with software this versatile and polished, you really should throw them a few bucks if you pick it up. It's more than worth it.
