Title: Who likes Manga....
Post by: Merciless88 on Wed 04/06/2003 17:20:14
hello everyone!

Though I'd post something here since I never have and long time havn't, well anyway. Manga, thats what my game is going to be next like, The Legend of Kenshin. Thought i'd take a manga cartoon and make a game out of it since i was running out of ideas.

Check out this link for some pixel art that I've made and post any C&C.

This one is my pixel drawing....(background was just for fun ;). )

And this one is the original drawing....

Nope, got that from some manga movie called, Samurai X Kenshin.
Got annoyed with space games and futuristic so I though picking something set in Asia, Japan ect might be a little change around the AGS world.

And about that job thing u recomended me to get, not good enough for my point of view.

Ah, nice to see a fan of Rurouni Kenshin/Samurai X! (The OVA's are so good I almost can't describe it... ;) )

The sprite looks really good, colourful and overall very nice.
The second one is the source of inspiration, right? (Looks like it's straight from the OVA, just like Slamgrinder said.)

Btw, I found this at a Samurai X homepage:

Kenshin is such a hottie.

I mean, I'm not gay, or anything; but still - you would, wouldn't you?

Well, at least he bothered to use a filter.  Looks like the watercolor one or something.

To Kikme II: The Revenge of Kikme;

Your sprite was well done.  Some of us are rather graphically-challenged and would've been quite impressed with your original posting.  Nobody could've called it a poorly-done sprite or crappy effort.  Even if you modified traced the original image for the later posting or used a paintbrush over the original layer, it still remains un-original work.  If you wish to post such a modification, please credit the original author.  

However, your idea (at the beginning) seemed a good one and well-implemented.  Don't feel scared off by our criticism, just let your own work stand on its own.  We've had problems with this sort of thing in the past and do not wish for redundancy.

Thank You.

Thanks Guys, and I did state that the pictures where copied
"I drew the picture, but copied it from a manga cartoon"

Sorry if i did put you all thinking, that woah this guy can draw and stuff like that, but no hard feelings, like YakSpit said, pictures drewn or edited from originals are still my drawings.

And I'm so sorry for not stating the original author  :-[ , well now I am.
He's called Nobuhiro Watsuki and he's a mangnificent drawer.

Pardon the pun, but I may've been a bit merciless there.  I just wanted it to be clear that we (as creators in one medium or another) try and show respect to all fellow creators as we go.  I think there was some confusion in your posting.

sorry if there has been any confusion and sorry for not naming the original author in the first place.

I'll be posting some new images later today here so could u please chack back and give some C&C.

Thank you

I apologize.. But i must say that i really hate stolen art! Don't come here waving your pencils and saying that you've made something that you obviously did not!

The reason i hate it so much is that this happened to me several times by the same person. He stole both pictures and music from the site i had at the moment. That really pissed me off!

Post by: Merciless88 on Sat 07/06/2003 13:31:48
sorry to hear that Synthetique, I don't steal stuff, and I am sorry if I put a veiw of my self like this. I will be posting original art from my self in and a demo pretty soon....

Thanks for the C&C from everyone!

Hey, Merciless, that actually looks really good.
I would try working on the ground some more, the shading looks a bit wierd as it is now.
And maybe you could build some lanterns around those spots of lights? ;D
Oh, and perhaps add some clouds to the sky, since it looks a bit too bare as it is now.

Kepp on working, man!

oh, i thought you meant you meant you looked at the drawing and then drew it yourself, not that it was actually the same drawing just edited.  :-X
and that art you did do looks realy good, bot the sky looks kinda just like a block of colour.
