Re: Concept Art - Firebird

...the Journey to the West is so old and traditional a Chinese story that it's pretty much public domain ... DBZ and Saiyuki are VERY different takes on the story of Son Goku. Damn, that is very true -- and I completely missed it. Yes, it's a very striking style. Reminds me of Art Deco. Damn... I w...

Re: Concept Art - Firebird

Well, you'd be basing the game on the Firebird legend/myth/story itself, right, not the existing game? No one can copyright a folktale. Take your inspiration where you can get it. Very good point, and there are a couple of versions of the folktale. Maybe I should do a bit of a mix to make it a bit ...

Re: Concept Art - Firebird

You will not be hurting anyone's feelings or stepping on anyone's toes by making a game based on the same source material, believe me. CF: Dragonball Z and Saiyuki. Japan doesn't have the aggressive copyright rules the US does. Your take on it is going to be unique enough that you should proceed wi...

Re: Concept Art - Firebird

Someone beat them to it as well - The Last Express was a commercial PC game released in 1997 that featured prominent use of the Russian Firebird fairytale. Oh? I had no idea...! I'm not as familiar with all the games that are out as I should be, I guess. "There is no new thing under the sun&qu...

I've always admired your photo editing skills :) Just lovely. Thank you so much! Sorry someone beat you to it!! I could just wait a year and then do it? This way I don't step on the other creator's toes...too much. Or I could just pick another faery tale. hmm you may want to use harder-edged bevels...

Re: Faery Tale ~ A Romantic Fantasy Visual Novel

I haven't played this yet, but the art looks amazing and I am looking forward to it. Thank you! I hope you like it. I'd like to ask though, any chance of you ever making a tutorial on how you do your manipulations? Nope, not at all. The 'manipulations' are done in exactly the same manner that you'd...

Thank you so much! I was seriously surprised.

Concept Art - Firebird

I had originally intended to make a game from the Russian fairy tale, The Firebird . Unfortunately someone beat me to it. This is some of the concept art. http://www.yaoi.ca/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=7734&g2_serialNumber=2 For full-sized image, go here --> http://w...

Re: Faery Tale ~ A Romantic Fantasy Visual Novel

I just love this game so much that I can't stop myself from viewing Tristan's best (and canon) ending over and over again. I am absolutely thrilled you liked it so much! Figured they were canon by their default names. You figured right! I also like how you've modified and twisted the Red Riding Hoo...

Ahhh, don't worry overmuch. At least it's something easy to fix! For some reason I didn't notice the title in your sig, so I was really confused to see it in the readme. :lol: Never edit when you're short of sleep. Seriously. I played Torrey & the Vampire , by the way, thought it was great. You...
