Imaginary fembotcentral magazine cover

Bart · Post by **Bart** » Mon May 04, 2009 1:59 pm

Hi there.

I fooled around with Photoshop again. I was not happy with the outcome of panels, the smoke and all the usual stuff I started to add. So I reduced the manipulation to a subtle minium (removing freckles, glowing eyes yada yada) and added some text. The outcome is a cover of a FBC's offical print magazine.

I definately would buy such a magazine (for reading the articles of course

)

Hope you like it, tell me what you think.

Holy hell! That's fantastic work!

I've got to get myself a subscription, but hopefully under an assumed name. Maybe I'll get it sent to a post-office box. Or I'll just tell everyone that, yes, I read it for the articles...

Beautiful!

I LOL'd at the price in the upper right corner. The really scary thing is, by the time gynoids make it to the consumer market, that price tag might just be accurate!

I also like how you kept the manipulation low-key. It makes her look more beautiful than bizarre, which is probably how robot marketeers would want to advertise their products.

Overall, great work! Keep it up!

Wow, thanks a lot for your kind comments!

Guess I have to post more of this stuff instead of always rejecting it.

very good! althought the red on gray isn't a good mix i think. i would probably stick with the blue hues maybe spice up the logo just a bit. the girl is done in good taste, still the background she's on is a bit of a bore. Still great placement, good use of spacing.

Excellent work as usual, Bart! It's good to see you doing some new stuff. The girl and pose you picked was great. I can't wait until this magazine would be a reality

I don't mean to be bitter, but by that time printed magazines will be a delightful memory by then.

Maybe you're right. Unless they will be 'printed' on super cheap e-ink paper (a la amazon Kindle). I myself stopped subscribing to magazines years ago because of the instant and still essiantely free information on the internet.

On the other hand, sometimes I still buy magazines - when the cover is appealing, when they have a good story etc. (No I don't mean Playboy or Hustler

) Radio did not kill the record industry, TV did not kill cinema and the Internet did not kill books and probably won't kill (all) magazines. Hopefully a few high quality magazines will survive.

An interesting idea. Although, if you look at the way a lot of magazines balance their online/print editions, there may be hope for the old newsrag yet.

Popular Science, for example, makes sure that its premium content - a lot of the picture-filled gadget articles, etc. - is only in the printed magazine, and the Web site only has scaled-down versions of the large images featured in the print version. Also, the articles are only posted on the site some time after the magazine has shipped, and even then, they get posted over the course of weeks, not all at once, thus necessitating that online viewers check back frequently. All this serves to encourage online viewers to subscribe to the magazine.

Absolutely brilliant! I liked the comparison between the dollar and the euro. The whole thing is very convincing. Good work!

Very nice work. I always like a manip with an unusual theme and that's a great one.

This looks great. I also thought the dollar inflation thing was funny!
