Not really something I would have expected you to say, considering that most of the old SNES games were in at least semi-anime style, SoM included.Ultim wrote:Wow, another cut and paste anime style. Anime is killing our generation's artists. Just because the anime style is easy and makes things look nice doesn't mean you have to use it! Make your own style!
I beg to differ. Doing anime style well is as hard as doing any other style well. Sure, there are plenty of people who draw anime style poorly, but there are plenty of people who just draw poorly, regardless of style.Ultim wrote:since the style doesn't take much talent to emulate

If you say, "Any other cartoon/'symbolic line style'", sure; but I'd put money on, say, the style of Craig Mullins being much harder to emulate than Fred Gallagher's. After all, I can draw such that my work would be indistinguishable from Fred Gallagher's, but I can't draw like Mullins to save my life.Talaroc wrote:I beg to differ.

No kidding. Drawing in a style inspired by anime-like games like SOM or RO is kinda one of the axioms of TMW, one of the things that makes it what it is...Talaroc wrote:We're already pulling stylistically off of something preexisting. That's kind of the point of the game. You can't tell people their work isn't in the SoM style enough in one thread then turn around and say we're not ripping off styles in another.
Some artists, like myself, aim not to draw in any "style," but instead to simply do as good of a job as possible of depicting the real world accurately. The style will show up on its own.Talaroc wrote:Hell, people are taught to in art schools.
