I see…the weasels!

( December 20, 2008 - 12:56 am, filed under artworks, hall of changes, tagged as , )

So you all know about how much I’m concerned with artists’ rights and you know how much I get mad when I see artworks re-used without the author’s permission. On this matter, I just found a short yet precise page about copyright issues. A quick read, but a good one for sure.

Now to the artwork!

HI THERE SAMUS, HOPE YOU DON’T MIND BEING OBSESSED OVER
in case you were wondering yes, this was made with a tablet at school. This makes also me think of how much I have recently improved. I mean, look at my first attempt in drawing her in armor, and that was made about two months ago! :O

faceless Samus is faceless

KAREN, MY OTHER LOVE
This was made without reference, so I may have gotten some details wrong. I like her face though.

there has been a shortage of Sneasels, I hear. Let me fix that.

kamaitachi-01.jpg

Yesterday I was writing a page for Dark Claws about Sneasel and its relation to the kamaitachi, the Japanese weasel demon. I couldn’t find any good image to put in the page, so I made one myself; I’ll show you the finished page later. Anyway, I really like how this one turned out. KAMAITACHI GO GO GO

Also, as for Clear Bell I went back and added a revamped Suicune sprite to the codes page. :) Again, scroll to the bottom of the page to view it.
Talking about fanlistings, I’ve actually chosen the name of my next collective. It will be called “Hall of Changes”, as a reference to a zone of my favorite dungeon in Oblivion. Sure a step forward from Yuki no Namida as a name, isn’t it? I’m planning to make the first layout dark crimson and purple, reminiscent of the deepest area of Brinstar as shown in Super Metroid.

You may have noticed that I’m feeling better. I guess I’m recovering from my failure.
By the way, in the end a classmate of mine found my pencils. :)

  1. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah *_*
    The first samus is fantastic! :DDD
    She is so…Beautiful, but strong too! :D
    And the kamatachis(or without “s” is plural or not?°__°)are very good too :D
    AND THAT REWAMP!:D IT’S FANTASTIC! :Q____
    But in the original sprite the “stripes” wich are near the body of suicune looks cancelled °__°
    Try to add a black line near the borders, only for see them, or try something other :3 XD

  2. I think kamaitachi is both singular and plural. :B
    The original sprite looks like that only because it’s against a white background :B I’m not going to edit it though, I’d like to leave it untouched. Maybe I should put it against a purple background as well, this way it should be clearer that’s only a matter of background and that the sprite has nothing wrong.
    THANK YOU

  3. I’m very happy you now feel better :DDD And your drawings are, as always, very good :D You must have had something magic in your hand while drawing that Samus, it’s beautiful, if I think that the only “thing” I can draw by memory is Sunflora X°DD Instead, I don’t like Karen so much…she has something strange in her breast o.o The Sneasels are very ->*__* and the Kamaitachi are also so ->:3 I like them a lot! In the revamp there’s something in the “horn” and in the mane, I think some pixel had to be coloured in another way, but it’s however well done :D Have a merry Christmas! :D

  4. Wow *__* As usual, your drawings are fantastic XD But…where does that Karen come from? *runs*
    … *returns* I also like kamaitachis XD, and I’m happy you’re feeling better :D
    Ah, I was wondering (XDD) from long time ago if you know Kingdom Hearts… do you know it?

  5. Deoxys: Actually I always manage to screw up Samus’ armor while drawing her by memory, but that’s more because her Varia Suit changes in every installment of the series and sometimes I’d like to draw her with the Super Metroid Varia and I get some parts from the Prime 3/Brawl one by mistake, though I sometimes do forget some details anyway. Yeah you’re right about Karen, but her beautiful beautiful eyes make me forget about her ugly boobs. haha
    About the revamp please do tell me more! If you want you can edit it yourself and then send the finished sprite to me so we can see. :D
    MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU TOO

    Stefano: Karen? … … …didn’t she come from GSC? *runs*
    YEAH I DO KNOW KINGDOM HEARTS and most of its characters as well but I’ve never played it myself. it’s on the list of things I have to do

  6. I just LOVE Kingdom Hearts, even if I only played Chain of Memories (which, in my opinion, is the best GBA game) I know all of the characters in all of the games xD I’m also writing a fan fiction about Organization XIII members XD

  7. Sorry, I’m very late but the hypertext on Goethe and Foscolo has absorbed all my energies in these days -read all the works in 2 hours and write a relation in a afternoon, for two days, is very BALL-BREAKING…now I can comment with calm(mind). I had to say you more on the revamp…I have seen again the sprite and the only “defect” (it is written so because it is an opinion of mine, don’t know if it’s right) is the long line of black pixels…in the GSC sprite it is worst but I think it could be divided in almost 2 parts…about the mane, watching at it again I don’t notice any error…probably the colours you used didn’t convince me at all. That’s all BD

    Have a good 2009nanas :D

  8. No problem at all :) and good luck with your project, I hope you’ll get a high mark since you’ve worked on it so hard
    About the horn, are you talking about the vertical black line on the right side?
    The palette used is the same from the DP sprite so I don’t know. Maybe I should just work more on the shadowing under the horn.

    dubiousdisc, December 29, 2008 - 7:58 pm

  9. Yes, there are two black lines in the horn, I say the one on our left! Probably I’m wrong however, I don’t know the several palettes of the game..! Ah, that hypertext won’t have a mark…(I think °°), it is for the project on novel we’re doing (my English is bruttest XD) in Italian, Latin, Greek and English, probably it’ll be published somewhere I’ve not understood. However, let’s relax now ;_;

    Deoxys, December 29, 2008 - 8:04 pm

  10. YES YES THE VERTICAL LINE. I tried to make it dark blue or half dark blue and half black but it looked even worse. nothing I can really do about it, that’s the way the original sprite is :( either that or I suck at spriting, lol
    YES LET’S RELAX
    no wait no I can’t relax I still have an exam to write and nnnnnnn
