It's just garden-variety crappy anime/heavily-derivative 'original' world crossover of the kind you write when you're 15 and just barely starting to explore storytelling. It's not even weird or funny, just poorly written, awkwardly paced and about as creative as putting on pants.

Dr. Killjoy posted:That specific eye thing is a recurring motif in some old timey European art. Like the anime Hellsing uses it too and I've seen photos of art pieces incorporating it but never actually could find any analysis on its significance or recurrence. Then I saw a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain, standing at the center of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures and the elders. The Lamb had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth. - Revelation 5:6

Dr. Gitmo Moneyson posted:Okay I give. What is this one from? Can't tell you what they've drawn over (I presume it's "rotoscoped" over cartoon porn) but it's supposed to be Zoey and a Witch from Left 4 Dead. Turns out that's  a  thing.  As a bonus, here's the weirdest and most  example I could find.(For the record, I found all of these by googling "zoey l4d" to double-check that it was indeed her, and Google suggested adding "witch" to the search term which resulted in this.)

Bender is clearly designed to look and act human. The fact that it's an imperfect likeness doesn't make him less of an android. e: also it's not like there's a more official definition of "android" than "humanlike automaton"

Isn't Snorri pretty much the only source on ancient norse mythology we have? The oldest, at any rate. Yeah, everything about Loki the Cosmic rear end in a top hat, Baldr's absurd niceness, Odin's martyrdom etc. reeks of Christianization, but we don't have any comprehensive tellings of those myths that aren't several centuries out of date. Goes for a lot of mythology, actually. A lot of what we think of "[X] Mythology" has been filtered through centuries of historians, translators, playwrights and propagandists. Hell, "history" as we know it is in a way weird fanart of reality. I bet you've read a story that casts Christopher Columbus, real life murderous despot and lucky dipshit as a clever and courageous adventurer held back only by peers who refused to acknowledge his genius.

Large corporations do not accept stories/concepts/design suggestions for the specific reason that they could get sued over idea theft. Specifically, I recall reading an interview with an author for Star Wars EU books where he stated that they simply destroy unsolicited manuscripts without reading them, because otherwise if someone writes a story where Luke and Leia go on a vacation there's a risk of someone going "Hey! I sent them a story like that 15 years ago. Get me my lawyer!" e: Although I suspect it's less that there's any chance they'd lose and more that dealing with the paperwork, court fees etc. is an unnecessary expense.

Well, say I'm a Star Wars writer. If you send me an original sci-fi novel and a I find+replace all the names to Star Wars characters, that's a pretty clear copyright violation. Even if they were Star Wars characters from the start, they still wrote the story and stealing it is still a copyright violation.

Captain Invictus posted:Doesn't that one lady get 25k a week from drawing genderswapped looney toons or whatever Based on conversations in the old commission horror stories thread, it really can be. If you wanna make it as a regular ol' artist, you have to be crazy good to stand out, but if you're willing to cater to niche markets (like, say, inflation fetishists) the quality of your art is much less of an issue. Quite a few struggling artists make their living that way, and the ones that manage to hit it big and become a household name in their particular niche can make mad dosh.

Captain Invictus posted:Got a link to that thread? It sounds fascinating. I can imagine it can grind you down selling your hard-earned skills for someone's wank material. I remember reading an article a while back that mentioned a dude who commissioned something like 17,000 dollars worth of fetish artwork from a bunch of artists, then revoked all the payments. That must loving suck to not only have to do that, but then lose the payment for it on top of that. I can't for the life of me remember the article name, it was along the lines of "Selling your skills, and your soul", and talked about the darker parts of the deviantart rabbit hole. I wish I did, because it really was very interesting. Unfortunately, I seem to have taken it off my bookmarks when I finished reading through it and now I can't find it. I think it was an Ask/Tell thread with a title along the lines of "Ask/tell us about doing art commissions." If you have search/archives, you may be able to find it. As a consolation price, you may enjoy this classic. I thought the commission thread forked off that one, but I couldn't find any links. The thread itself deals with similar types of  behaviour, though.(I should also note that while the craziness was the initial draw of said commission thread, my favorite parts were the stories about artists developing amicable relationships, even friendships, with polite weirdos centered around drawing Dragonball characters peeing on each other for money.)

Taciturn Tactician posted:They claim it's from scratch. Either way they're surprisingly cheap to commission for animation, they charge like €3 a frame, so they must have some kind of process for doing this in a way that doesn't take forever. If it looks rotoscoped, is costed as if rotoscoped and is from a gallery containing stuff that's clearly copied right out of popular anime but not credited as such, it's probably rotoscoped. dA users sometimes have funny ideas about what it means for something to be "original" or "made from scratch," anyway. I could swear I've seen that first animation before, too, but I've imagined stranger things.

J.A.B.C. posted:Didn't you know? The secret to horror is to make everything gross. Tendency to go overboard aside, it's one of the most viscerally disturbing things I've ever experienced. In a good way. Even the porn bits serve to underline just how obsessed, detached and disturbed the protagonist is. Maybe it's just my unreasonable love of Silent Hill and years of desensitization towards hosed up internet porn talking, but it's my favorite horror story of all time. The Enigma of Amigara Fault on the other hand, I don't get at all. Its only weird, not scary. Anyway, now that I've sprung that trap, might as well try to find some weird Saya no Uta fanart.  No, not really. Like the style, though.  Well, it is cute fanart of a maneating eldritch abomination, but that's just kind of what the game is about.  Kind of? I guess? It'd qualify if it was Snoopy or Buffalo Bill or something, but again this is just very in-character. :origin()/pre14/9a2a/th/pre/f/2011/294/c/3/saya_no_uta___saya_chibi_by_renoxofxthexturks-d4djp5p.png) Eh, close enough. Turns out it's hard to find fanart more out there than the source material. Have this stuff I found at the rear end end of google image search while looking for the above:

Lady Naga posted:Sadly (?) a lot of this stuff isn't all that prevalent any more now that we have "universal" engines that can be licensed and update every year, like Unreal and Unity and CryTek and what have you. If you expand the scope beyond just video game engines, this stuff is everywhere. Not only are there lots of stories about weird poo poo that's been done in the spaghetti code of tiny startups, some really important systems (including stuff like banking) still run on code so ancient and obscure modifying them is practically a form of experimental archaeology. For example, one of the legitimate y2k issues was the fact that when these systems were programmed in the 60s and 70s, storage was so poo poo that not having to save the first two numbers of the year in a stored date constituted a meaningful increase in performance. This lead many of them to be hardcoded to assume it was always the year 19XX.

Gorilla Salad posted:The lovely fanart makes a valid point. Personally I like to see it as the new trilogy just sort of ignoring the prequels and going with the solitary taoist space mystic angle from the originals. But I'm pretty sure the in-universe explanation is that at the time of the prequels the Jedi pretty much only retained significant influence on Coruscant. Most people in the galaxy would never have met one, much less seen them demonstrating overtly supernatural powers so anyone who had even heard of them would consider the Jedi an archaic religious group clinging onto power by force of tradition and dubious claims of divine mandate.

Space Cadet Omoly posted:Great, I'll start at the beginning. Just making sure it wasn't one of those Animes where each season is a totally different kind of story and season 1 or 2 may be terrible but season 4 is amazing. It kind of is. Different, I mean, not terrible. Particularly the first couple episodes of Part 1 when you could be forgiven for thinking you'd accidentally tuned into an anime muscle man adaptation of a Charles Dickens novel. They're all amazing in their own way, though. Part 2 is my personal favorite, it's just really off-beat compared to the more formulaic Stardust Crusaders. It's interesting to see what JoJo does with the formula, though, because it's one of those things that's so old that it actually invented (or at least codified) the formula in the first place, and does some interesting an unexpected things with it as a result. Oh and make sure you watch the 2012 TV series, not the 1993 OVA.

MizPiz posted:The OC reminds me of Chris-Chan. Be honest, how broken am I? Considering you know Chris-chan exists, you're pretty much hosed. I also thought it looked like him, though. Kavak posted:I love Dead Money's characters and writing but fuuuuck ever doing the Villa again. Honest Hearts was at least easier and shorter. The biggest problem with Dead Money is that it's an excellent linear survival horror game bolted onto an open-world FPS-RPG. The shift is really uncomfortable, especially if you keep trying to play it as a loot-'n-shoot. I've done it a couple of times and it gets a million times less frustrating if you just do objectives and talk to characters instead of fretting over exploring every crevice and opening every container. Honestly, all the DLC share the problem of being decent to great games in their own right while being thematically, mechanically and physically isolated from the core game they're supposed to be part of.
