July Game of the Month

[#1]

Hey everybody! It's time for the July Game of the Month... and I choose... The Last of Us.

For those of you who haven't seen it or played it yet, it's a post apocalyptic game that has been getting some rave reviews. Here is the wiki page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_of_Us

Here's what you do:
Create an item with "The Last of Us" as your theme. List the item in your Etsy shop before the end of July. Post the item in this thread. I will choose my favorite item on July 31st. The winner will choose next month's game and start a new thread announcing their chosen game in the beginning of August. That person will then choose his/her favorite item on the last day of August.

I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with!!!

Christine, your husband sounds like me when I play Fallout. I run into a room of baddies with my shotgun blazing, while my husband spends ten minutes lining up the perfect headshot with a sniper rifle.

Michelle - This one is especially awesome! Lack of product + Excess of attention = Immediate interest! Already had 2 sales...Both international!!

Alia - OMG...Fallout was HILARIOUS! He turned the entire town against him as soon as he got out of the Vault and refuses to go back to playing...I've been meaning to pick it up, but keep getting swallowed by other games...lol Already have plans in to my tattoo artist for a Defiance tattoo and going to do Last of Us as well...

Fallout 2 is my favorite game of all time. I also love Fallout 3 and New Vegas. I've played them over so many times. I've never suggested Fallout for a game of the month though because Bethesda has really cracked down on what kinds of Fallout fan items we are allowed to sell. Luckily, I can still sell my Nuka Cola caps. :)
Glad I can still make something apocalyptic for this month's challenge though. I'm part way done. I hope it turns out good!

I just got a commission for a Joel and Ellie chibi, so now I have time to get something done!!!!! YAY!!!!

[Former_Member]

Okay, I made two things - I hope that's okay.
The first is the Firefly pendant. I think they came out pretty cool.

I also liked all of the notes and burnt maps in the game, so this necklace features a piece of a vintage Salt Lake City map, along with some salvaged charms.

I have to share this with you guys! It's a short fan film a group did for The Last of Us! They even keep the same dialogue from the game, it's so cool!! http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/07/26/watch-this-cool-fan-film-of-the-last-of-us?abthid=51f2cc9f873...

It is kinda gory so don't let your kids watch it. :/

[MichelleEcksteinArt]

Awww, that was really cool! Really fun to watch! :D
