It'd be nice if you discuss stuffs related to this project... So don't you think this kanji discussion is already way out of topic guys? :) I'll be waiting for new Lothair costume design or any finished outline you made Honya. Meanwhile I'll get myself busy with nasty campus assignment (5 illustrati...

You own style is always better than trying to emulate something else when you're doing a personal project =3 Unless you're doing it in honor/tribute of some established series. It is a worthy objective but you're not making one aren't you? Glad if we could help. Hope you can find the best design so...

Here's a point of view you might find rather interesting (or not): Designer aren't supposed to be known for a static drawing style, but to be able to find the most creative solution for virtually anything, especially visual. However, some specialized or original style can be a very useful weapon, es...

Both your drawing style has around the same proportion and hair... So I think the key difference between your generic and anime-influenced is... the lips! Try to experiment with that. Giving your character clothes that anime characters in Japan hardly wear would also help to make things look clear. ...

Answer? No I don't think we're all here to discuss a perfect objective answer to something. Basically it falls on effective design choices. For your project do you want to maintain the original Japanese High School concept because it's been proven to be successful, but with probability of becoming j...

Check out Deji's current project, Caramel Mokacinno . Instead of imitating Japanese High School setting that seems to be seeped into our brain, she uses her local/home culture, clothing and naming system as the flavor. It's fresh, and definitely a unique selling point. It's true that using moe anime...

Well, Interactive Fiction does exist, but it's more akin to adventure game with, usually, a focus on world simulation. But it's also home to a lot of game narrative experiments. The history, community, powerful/popular/established products, market/consumer and how they can relate to OELVN in genera...

You're right. Other than music, VN format have one thing that static writing hardly able to facilitate: interactivity, dialogue branching, and multiple ending/paths. Text-only interactive fiction? If it exist I think I only know it today by reading your post. I wonder if it's worth it to create anot...

Then why don't you write the story and put it up on a website where everyone can read for free? Other than the flexibility of updating your story pieces by pieces, you'll get large audience if you can reach the suitable readers. Art and illustration will be a huge plus instead of necessity in VN for...

I like how you draw face. It's beautifully drawn even when it's not following the mainstream anime look. Your proportion is also just right for drawing bishoujo. The guy at the first image still looks like a girl though. You might want to use less angular/curving lines when drawing guys, and opt for...

The writer is famous for writing Kana Imouto and Yume Miru Kusuri, with KEY's REWRITE as the future project working alongside the writer of Higurashi no Karu ni. In case anyone doesn't know, KEY produces the famous series of KANON, AIR, and CLANNAD, including one short kinetic novel PLANETARIAN. If ...

@tigerrenko: It sounds like novel adaptation of a bishoujo game, but with each individual girls' path always continue on top of one another; become way too much focused on character, hence sacrificing plot entirely. If he's acclaimed to be that good at storytelling, maybe it does worth it to read so...

tigerrenko wrote:Good idea, can turn out very deep, reminds me of Haruki Murakami's novels (Dance, dance, dance).

Can you elaborate what kind of novel is that? It would be interesting to know what inspiration/ideas may come from it.

Haven't read all 15 pages of this thread so I don't know if this idea has been said by anyone or no, but hell I'd just write it because it seems interesting. The main character is accepted into social circle, have general and acceptable hobby in society, and living for the reason of doing what every...
