Kraken editions: 10/07: Salon du Jeu

The "Salon du Jeu" in Paris in October 2007 was the first event where the whole Kraken Team was on site in order to present the whole of the Alkemy Game and miniature range.

Here is the complete report on this event.

Many known guests made us the pleasure to come on the Alkemy booth to perform some sculpting and painting demonstrations:
Mike and Allison (and baby) McVey, Jacques Alexandre Gillois, Romain Van Den Bogaert.

A large number of people from the Kraken staff where at this event: Painter,s beta testers, demonstrators and even the tentacles of the Kraken Itself.
Here are a few of them, from left to right and top to bottom:

Allan and Jérémie in artistic discussions
Jörn: "So here, at the end of my little finger, is a jin marker"
Joss, rules and background writer, invoking the power of some unworldly power
Manu, our head graphics wiz
Kris, who is in charge of Galleon, the association in charge of organized gaming
Valérie and Thom, the Khaliman and the internet marketing manager
Viktor, happy avalonian and webmaster
Vincent, managing the presales
Stéphane, one of the beta testers

Here is the making of of the make up of the Khaliman costume of Valérie. The make up itself took about two hours each day.

Now Viktor's make up, who whas impersonating Garlan. Much quicker to do, but a little bit heavier to carry the rest of the day... It also proves that Allan can also manage armors for a 1:1 scale miniature.

Here are the finished costumes. A rumour runs around that in the Real life, the Jaraya warrior and Garlan are a couple... They will have very weird children.
