This really did need to be merged with the awesome fanart thread and a thread reboot was a good place to do it. Maybe the thread title should say "weird/awesome" instead?

This guy (or girl, I'm not sure) does some good animation-style Discworld stuff that isn't a total Kidby ripoff. You get to see them improve their designs, too.

This guy also has some good stuff:

A discussion in BSS about Jack Kirby's designs for Roger Zelazny's "Lord of Light" led me looking for alternate interpretations. And I found this artist who has done some pretty fantastic work, getting the mix between fantasy and superscience almost perfect.

I am more impressed at how accurately the artist was able to ape Oda's style.

Considering that i've seen fanart of all kinds of western material by Japanese artists, it wouldn't surprise me if it had actually been done by Oda.

I think that image you quoted might actually be referencing a Nazi propaganda poster from WWII.

It was also drawn as a jab at the reaction of hardcore crazy Fallout fans to Fallout 3, who were seriously channeling the Dolchsto�legende for a while there (and some of them probably still are).

Also, last I checked, this is its own game, not a Fallout mod. The voice acting is also decent and the general level of quality from what we've seen is being maintained through the project.

Do I like it? No. But gently caress, that's a lot of time and effort into making something coherent and you have to admit there's at least a pretty decent work ethic behind it.

What you're seeing as a work ethic is actually just obsessive behavior due to crippling autism.

Feh. It's not that bad. I mean, it's not good, and potentially traumatizing if your time on the internet has been wonderfully boring, but there's always worse stuff out there. I remember reading it way back when and mostly came away with "that's it?"

What makes those two strips deeply unsettling isn't the content itself, but knowing that they were drawn as fetish porn.

A lot of things fall into this category and many of them end up in this thread.

That's actually rather elegant in a horribly twisted sort of way. You make your vehicle a subclass of NPC, which already has pathing and movement code written and tested.

Then a flag fails to get set properly and your tram ends up bleeding when you shoot it or something.

Pulse. Burst.

Where do people get the idea to just use verbs as onomatopoeia? Maybe if English isn't their first language, I guess.

It's the other way around, in a lot of cases. Japanese has a whole load of "onomatopoeia" for things that don't actually make noises, which get used in manga a lot. Poorly translated manga (i.e. most of it) tends to translate these sounds literally, so you end up with things like "stare" or "stunned" as a sound effect. People who are making comics through cargo-culting will imitate these things, so there's lots and lots of badly-made English-language comics out there that deliberately reproduce these translation artifacts.
