After a bit of a rethink and some work, I've decided to show more the day to day life of said GImp extrodionair. This is most likely gunna be what he looks like, but at $39 a pop for at least 5 main characters, I dunno. I suppose the fact that they are easy to create and come fully rigged will save tons of time, but i propbably wont spend the cash till i'm really ready to make it work. Gotta work out scripts, characters, still need voices, fair bit of work, but i'm really excitied about this. I just gotta make sure i follow through with it.


PS; I know his legs work now, but i'll take care of that 5 mins into the 1st episode

Go for it Ratty. How you gonna have him gimped, how severly gimped, not too much or tooooooooooo much

[DaveP]

Interesting. I look forward to seeing what you do.

This could be something massive for you - get it on YouTube and you never know what happens.

There could be a business idea there too...

[pistol_pete]

Super Gimp looks awesome. (I don't mean that in a gay way)....(not that theres anything wrong with that)

If only the poor bastard knew what was coming.

Nice work Ratboy.

Run SG!, Run...

[Texas Angel Ang]

Okay this is such a good idea and you better stay on it or I will hurt you!

[jenny407]

Yes - great idea, but a bit frightening, too. I also agree he looks good.

[allis53ca]

dammit...thats scary real lookin

[Tinbasher]

OOOH The Para and Quaddy devo ladies are gonna love this

[StillFingers]

The Adventures of Super Gimp....luv it Ratti...my new hero!

[pistol_pete]

Every time I look at Super Gimp and his cheeky carefree thumbs up, I wanna reach in , grab him by the collar and warn him of what is about to befall him. I can't stand it.

Nooo!!! Do not run Super gimp. Walk very carefully and slowly, plan every step.
Do not, under any circumstances, drive or ride in any vehicle of any sort. When crossing the road check for oncoming traffic five times both ways.
Do not swim in the ocean. No diving, anywhere, ever.
Avoid walking in forests or built up areas where things can fall on you.
Move to an earthquake free zone, wrap yourself in bubble wrap, wear a helmet and do not leave the house! (actually forget the helmet, I was wearing one and it didn't help one bit)

But I know he won't listen.
We can't live our lives wrapped in bubble wrap and confined within four walls.
It's like watching a movie about Jesus Christ and yelling at the screen, telling JC to get the hell out of the garden of Gethsemane, you know what's going to happen and the inevitability of it drives you mad.

When you decide the manner in which Super Gimp shall enter the gates of the kingdom of Gimpdom, when you do it Ratboy, make it glorious and poignant and poetic. Have him saving a busload of cancer stricken blind orphans or something. It's gotta be special, have him smash through those gates in a blaze of glory. The passage of his transformation must be what will define his 'Super Gimpness'.

Anyway, sorry, don't mind me. You can tell I'm looking forward to following super gimp. No pressure Ratty.
At least I know there will be good humour weaved within the story, that's the main thing right. You've gotta have a laugh or you might as well be dead.

See HERE for lots of info.  Skipping through this, it seems that as far as our version of gimp-dom is concerned, Damon Runyan may be to blame, but I didn't read it all.

[Loving Him]

wow..ok harsh though..dont really like it..i like the term for "sex gimp " better

[DannyR]

What will his super powers be? Sex Gimp might make that a bit more interesting.

[Loving Him]

Haha, so was I. Didn't help at all...may have been the cause in my case.

[USMC_FMAgirl058]

I'd help ya out but I'm looking at a videogame series that would be fun. That aside, I don't think I've got the type of voice for voice acting anywho. Keep us updated! We need more main-character gimps out there. Avatar was fine and dandy, but he was a bit of a wimp when it came to dealing with it. Air Gear made him the bad guy. 'Course there's the dude from X-men.

ANYWAY

We need some gimps out there kicking (haha ) some ass for once.

[Kwheels19]

This is going to be great ;) haha I look forward to watching it.

[Ratticis]

Well now I'm nervous that it's gunna suck! Way to set the bar high, ya gimped bastards!
Anyway, a large portion of this is based on me. He'll be a T4 like moui, because obviously my knowledge of gimpdom is easier to relate. Of course, T4 means asshole
Also the dopey brother, overprotective mother and laid back dad that can build anything kinda mirrors my life. And his brother drives a 49 ford that looks suspiciously like my truck
But for now, I can't do too much but keep planning, but thas impotent too. I want to offer a glimpse into the reality of life in a chair, the ups, the downs, the annoyances and the triumphs.

[Tetracyclone]

Rat,

Planning is impotent? Nice typo.

[StillFingers]

Chris aka Super "Rat" Gimp, you might consider as part of your storyline...you probably did already...all the fun we have when dealing with the medical community, given your extensive experience/experiences it could be both an informative and eye opening training guide for the often found SCI ignorant doctors and also to prep families for the BS ahead...

Wow!! He looks terrific! And I just LOVE your entire concept...

...please just try to stay focused on your project without concern for any of us bastards...

...that is to say: always keep your audience in mind while creating, but do not let THEM/US inhibit you and the creative process...the World is your audience, and fellow gimps are part of that, but we all are not just your critics while you create, as we are also applauding encouragement...and those moments when you feel most vulnerable, self-critical, and concerned with others' possible opinions, are usually those times when you are most honest, cutting, and will probably result in the most powerful and creative "product" or end result: Super Gimp - as YOUR creation, from YOUR mind, YOUR experience, YOUR interpretations, YOUR images...if someone has an issue with any of it, i.e., thinks it "sucks" then let THAT gimp create their own whatever...

...wishing you continued progress and success...success measured by materializing the vision in your mind into images for the World...

[greybeard]

Being up front with a project outline is a two edged sword. Having "come out" is an added incentive to continue, but it also adds a hell of a lot of pressure. You may want to keep things to yourself now until you have the final product. Anyway, Beverly's post nicely sums up my thoughts so I'll pipe down. Good luck
