Line Art Battle

*Originally posted by Random Hero *
**Blah! Working on it. Anything against multiple submits? I’m actually trying to do it like a full product, box art, screen shots of gameplay and/or menus, etc. Perhaps submit the bundle as one entry? **
dont forget that the whole point of this battle is to produce an rpg character, not the marketing designs for an rpg game :slight_smile:

on another note: I should be posting my entry tomorrow… since I’m going on holiday tomorrow evening. Unfortunately it’s only 1 character (as opposed to the proposed 3) but… hopefully you’ll like it :rambo:

Subject: “Legend of Kirupa: The RPG”. Please make sure your entry reflects this theme in some way, and is also in the anime / manga style.

As long as it’s in anime/manga style, I think it’s all out. Kitara even mentioned something earlier about just doing a background.

PS-I work in a marketing department developing games and interactive CDRoms. It’s hard not to go all-out.

well… backgrounds are fine… since they’re part of ‘an image’ - you seem to be missing the point of the battle… it is to create a character for an rpg… and put them in an image (be it a white background, or some elaborately detailed battle scene with thousands of troops. at no point has anyone asked for “a full product, box art, screen shots of gameplay and/or menus, etc” - how are people going to judge your work against others? They’ll either think: ‘wow, this guy has done LOADS of work!’ and vote for you… or the more observant will think: ‘wow, this guy has done LOADS of work! But it’s not what was asked for…’ and hence will not vote for you. It just wouldn’t be fair to ask people to pick imo… well… I’d hope that most people would recognise the fact that you didnt do what was asked… :sigh:

if you want to do a big marketing campaign battle using this same theme - go and set it up - this is not the same battle, nor should it encompass ‘a big marketing campaign’.

as for quoting this:

Subject: “Legend of Kirupa: The RPG”. Please make sure your entry reflects this theme in some way, and is also in the anime / manga style.
you obviously didnt read the discussion thread where everyone agreed on ‘let’s make an rpg character’

:!:

Now this is a real battle! Fight! :stuck_out_tongue:

It’s a difficult call. Branding etc was never mentioned in the original ideas, it was more about drawing a vector / line art based image around an RPG theme…

ok… well… we could argue it a different way: you’re allow one image. if you want to try and fit all that stuff into a 500x500 pixel image… you’re welcome to try :wink:

Speaking of which… How’s yours coming along? :beam:

Just finished! :beam:

here you go… it’s not quite as good as I would like… I had hoped to make him a bit smaller and add the two other brits (kit and soul)… but since I’m going on holiday in about 3 hours… welll… you get the idea :wink:

so here it is - hope you like it! (vote :thumb: vote!):

He’s groooooovy :beam:

Kawaii! :beam:

hehe! ‘kawaii’ indeed :wink:

I know Japanese. :beam:

And for a chibi, the word is highly appropriate. :slight_smile:

How much Japanese do you know Kit? I dabbled in it when I did a solid two months of anime practically every morning and every night :).

Actually, I didn’t try to learn it all that much and I can’t construct sentences but I can actually understand some basic sentences without trying to translate - guess it all sunk in :beam:. I was focussed more upon the anime… brags a bit more to pass time :wink: man I was knackered after that.

looks at previous page having managed to miss it…

He looks great Asphalt! Nice one :thumb:. The colour adds more character to it but when you get back, it would be cool to see the result of a greyscaled version :).

I know a bit. :slight_smile: Started to teach myself at one point… I can’t read katakana and that, but I can speak a few phrases and that. :slight_smile:

Actually, when Asphalt gets back, we might have to make him do the other two SD characters as well, just for the hell of it. :stuck_out_tongue:

[edit] some stupid blah blah blah was here before! [/edit] :stuck_out_tongue:

I admit, a got a little upset over asphalt’s comments. I was going to make it like an oldschool video game poster, you know, where they put the screenshots and everything up, but I’ve completely revamped concept since then. I was just gonna ditch the contest, but I’ve got a pretty good idea now, so I guess I’ll stick with it.

I wana participate too…
I dunno how “Kirupian” my guy will look , but okay!

Plenty of time to go. :slight_smile:

Almost done mine now, if I’m lucky I’ll be able to post later this evening. :slight_smile:
