I think I most likely speak for everyone in the peanut gallery when I say... w00t! ;D Looking forward to more cool sketches! (And I suspect this means we no longer have to torture Say. ;))
Peace & Luv, Liz
YAY!!! a sketch!! ;D
It could be the sketch-deprivation speaking here, but IMO it's the the best sketch in the entire gallery :D
Valanice looks very true to her KQ7 self, only way better and younger ;)
We're not really torturing Say... we're just applying mild pressure ::) and we can't quit that until she tells us what the GOOD NEWS are ;)
Wooow!!!!! :D
I like! :D
She looks SO COOL. Wish i could draw like that! Brilliant sketch, makes up for lost time :O
Im glad you all liked it, in fact I hope you like the rest as much as you liked this :)
I'm sure we will, Say, I'm sure we will. ;D
You should give us the rest of it now. You have to make up for all that time with no Sketch of the Week ;)
hahahaha :D
nice try storm :)
Hey, you've done it before ::)
sorry, that wasnt me.
Will my colored version of the current Valanice sketch do? ::) I'm somewhat on the colorist squad now, not completely official yet until I finish my assignment but we'll see. ;)
Sure it will do! post it! :D
But I'm still going to nag Say about the other sketches ;)
Oldbushie - now that you are part of the team, you cannot post completed artwork unless it is approved by Rich or Cesar. We like to keep control over what gets shown.
However, of course, you can post your colored Valanice. She looks really good (I little bit purple, like she's undead, but that could just be my monitor). But the assignments that you've been given cannot be posted to any forum (well, ask us first - there will be some things we'll want you to post and others we won't yet want you to post).
Sorry to be the drill sargent, but we've had some problems in the past with this and similar issues.
Thanks, Oldbushie.
I understand, I only picked Valanice cuz she's already sketched and online and my submission was just a colored version of her. No worries, I won't release confidential documents/images. ;)
I'm very very good at keeping secrets. ;D
edit: I am posting the pic in the fanart section since I think it fits a little better in there.
er, mm yeah, I have to agree and get serious about that as mikey, since well yeah, there have been moments about that, I can only allow sketches from the game directly given from either Rich or Cesar, and they go to gallery anyways, they wouldnt go on the forum, if you want you can contribute your way on the fan gallery part, but still, you have to consult first with your deparment wether your allowed to publish it or not, as well as you might share info about the game you couldnt come post here :P
and omg you had better be good at keeping secrets... or I will kill ya!! :D

hahaaaaaaaaa, whhyy meeeeh :D
anyhow, way back then it wasnt us (yonkeyz and me) on control of it :P
What do you mean by publish?
And what secrets are you referring to? I don't know of any secrets... ::)
Well, once you are a full member of the team, you will have access to certain properties that will give you massive insight to the game. But if you leak it - I will send my cousin Vinnie over to "meet" you. And it's not always a fun party when he comes over.
JK
Secrets? We don't know no secrets here ;D
Like the part where Cesar comes riding in on his teddy bear and saves Graham and Valanice from being blasted by an evil wizard!!!! ;)
I am seriously demented. It's this forum. It has done that to me.
Let me be the first to comment on the new Sketch of the Week - the sketch of Edgar ;D
I liked the face just fine, but that's about the only thing I liked. I didn't like the hair, the clothes look too formal and his waists are too thin, which gives him a somewhat girlish proportions :P
Well, I don't want to say I'm disappointed, but I kinda sorta am :-\
I guess it's just a matter of different views/visions :-X
omg you werent supposed to see it till tomorrow :P
OMG WILL YOU FORGOT TO MAKE AN IMPORTANT POST... *whips* bad bad will :P
Well yeah thats the sketch for this week, Edgar, Im not disappointed myself, I do believe its quite accurate to what he is about imho, Im not calling the dude a girly careful, In fact I dont think he looks girlish at all, I do like it :)
Hey, don't whip anyone :o where I am it IS tomorrow 8)
hahaha, why not?!
fine!.... I'll spank him then :P
There's more than one costume. And I've always thought of Edgar as kind of girlish ;).
Hmm. I dunno. I agree he seems a little thin, but the ponytail isn't really all that feminine. And I like the clothes, 'specially the cool boots. 'Sides, IMHO, Alex's outfit in KQ6 was more, er, fruity-looking, anyway. <G> These are just the sorta fancy garb you'd expect a high-class fella to wear.
Peace & Luv, Liz

I half agree with Mike, there is more than just that costume :)
about the girl part I've already said I didnt see it like that, I sort of see him... youngish :P

It was, but still Alex didn't look like a fruit ;)
Quote from: Yonkey on November 09, 2003, 09:33:18 PMAs for Edgar.... argh, I can't answer any of Storm's comments without spoiling something. ::)
Any of them? now that's already spoiling SOMETHING ::)
He looks fine, as long as he's not wearing any makeup or posing in an odd way, he's not girlish.
hahahaha, make up!? wtf !! lol :D! we are not doing a q**** version of KQ anyways :P !! so forget about that!! :D
Please - Alex looked totally fruity in that scarf.
"Dahlink! What do you think of my scarf! I bought it at Lohman's just the other day! All the other girls are SO envious!"
And don't forget - do you realize how old Alex, Rosella and Edgar are? I think they're 19 (or maybe now 21).
And I don't think Edgar looks feminine in that pic - but you should go back and look at him after he's been transformed to his human self in KQ4 - that's girlish, baby! That's what I was talking about.

(falls over laughing)
I'm glad I'm not the only one with a warped mind. I was talking to my roomie after I got into the game, and I said something like, "You know, if the whole purpose of the game wasn't to rescue Cassima and get Alex married to her, I'd kinda... wonder... about the fellow a bit, with those clothes and stuff!" And he offered, "You know, I was gonna keep my mouth shut and not say anything, but now that you bring it up..." :suffer: I bet Valanice dresses Alex and Rosella, just to overcompensate for Graham's (lack of) fashion sense. ;D

Closer to 21, I think, but they're all still young 'uns, pretty much. :)

Yeah, it'd be like King's Quest:The Adventuring or something. :suffer:
Peace & Luv, Liz
Edgar's feminine looks - well, he IS a fairy prince. :P
Bushie - That was a good coloring job! I saw it too :) Aww, a bit of reading up and you can use the suffer emoticon too!! :suffer: :suffer: ;D (which we all know is why you REALLY joined the team)
the gay kq....oh man...any one else ever read the "Very Secret Diaries" for Lord of the Rings???
;D ;D ;D ;D they are HILARIOUS!
I only tried for the team because I like art, I have no intention of sneaking looks at the plot... ::)
We believe you.... ;) :P J/K!

Peace & Luv, Liz
Ok, ok, I admit I will enjoy looking at the plot, though I'll try not to Suffer you guys too much (but I won't say much either ;)).
omg hi jon :P
nice to see you around these forums again
Hi, Say, thanks for the welcome!! ;D
btw there is more of your work to come, so stay around :)
Wo-hoo, Jon the kickass artist!! I love his stuff ;D
He's base on Heath Ledger? Huh! I hadn't heard that. Cool!
So, er. Who is this Heath Ledger actor fellow, and why is Edgar based off of him?
And... I finally got around to playing KQ7 a bit, and, well... Edgar really *is* that skinny! Geez, Lolotte and Malicia must not have been feeding the poor fellow properly.
Peace & Luv, Liz
You don't know who Heath Ledger is? It's not that surprising, actually. He's an Australian actor. He was in "A Knight's Tale" and in "10 Things I Hate About You" which I like to refer to as "10 Things I Hate About This Movie" because it was pretty bad. But he's a good actor. He was also in "The Patriot" with another Aussie, Mel Gibson :D. He was recently in a movie called "The Order" which Amy and I wanted to see, but the reviews were so bad, we decided to skip it.
Quote from: Storm on November 14, 2003, 06:39:18 PM
Now I see the resemblance! Heath Ledger has better hair though ;)
Well, this is not Edgar's main look. In the first study I did his clothes are much more casual and his hair is not in a pony tail.
You should let us see that sketch then :D
I'll post it on Yahoo! Groups ;)
*coughs* whats going on here? :D
sowwy only Cesar and Richz says what comes out of yahoo groups, and after that little dorky Say says what comes to hereeeeee :P
careful what ya say jon!... Im gonna keep an eye on you now !!! :P
Did I do something wrong ??? I thought we were aloud to discuss things about the art here. Isn't everybody here on the team? Well, I'm not saying anything more cause I don't want to get in trouble. I've had enough trouble this week >:(
Hey Jon!
Not everyone on these forums are on the team. These forums are open to the public so literally anyone can view them. They're only discussing the art that's publicly visible in the Sketches Gallery.
The Yahoo Groups are private and are only visible to KQ9 team members. That's why you have to watch what you post. ;D
hahah joooonnn!!!!
there is no reeeasson tooo geeet maaaad :D, dont use angry faces at meh! :(
its true what Yonkey said, they dont have access to the yahoo groups :P and you gotta watch out what you say about the sketches since not everyone around here its from the group, neither we are allowed to give out so much info at times :P but thats not a bad thing! :) you just didnt know thats all
OMG OMG OMG JON IS MAD AT MEH! :'(
Hahahaaa :suffer: No No No No! I'm not mad at anybody ;D I was just frustrated cause my life has been really troublesome lately, so that's why I used the angry face. The face wasn't meant to be directed at you, Say. I just wasn't aware that I was divulging such "top secret" information ;) I'll be more careful from now on.
yaay!!, hes not mad at me :)
heh its a hard thing to be say! Welcome to the forums btw, I've just returned from the mists so I'm a kinda Old Newbie ???
hmmm well anyway HI!!
Oh yeah and about Edgar, I think he's meant to have a certain femininity to him as he is a FAIRY after all so if he had like stubble and scars and stuff it would kind of ruin the mood no? Well anyway I think its a great sketch and hopefully next time we see him he won't have a pony tail :P
I think Storm was commenting on his skinny waistline being feminine, not his facial features.
And I like the ponytail, although I admit it's mostly because I like short hair better on guys than long hair, and a ponytail is a decent compromise. ;)
Peace & Luv, Liz
Storm's just trying to make peace because there's a new sketch coming soonish. (playful poke) ;D
Peace & Luv, Liz

yeah yeah try to make it right now :P
Doh! I knew I should of edited the actual post ::)
lol, it ok, I just didnt quite understood what you meant at first haha :P
As most of you must have noticed, this is a new week!! but lo and behold! no new Sketch of the Week as yet :o :o
That's how it was the last time - first it's a couple of days late, then a month, then it should be re-named Sketch of Whenever-We-Feel-Like-Putting-Up-a-New-Sketch :P
HAHAHAHA STORM :D
you funny little nutz head, it hasnt been put online just yet, I HAVE IT RIGHT HERE... Im looking at it right now :D and its not up cuz to me its not monday still :D
I can say who it is the sketch about and spoil the surprise.... or I could say nothing at all and make YOU wait for it :D
and btw, that whenever-we-feel-like-it-thing Its not happening anyways, not with me watching :P remember before It wasnt me looking over the site :)
The Sketch of the Week is now up! ;D
SAY'S GOOFY EDIT: yaaaay! :D
Nice!!!! Cassima looks pretty, the shading is excellent too.
ahh, Cassima. I don't think I've seen this *particular* collage of her, but I personally prefer the center one and the profile shot....I don't particularly like how her face looks in the front on view, but I've said that to the artists before. It just seems....I dunno...too ovalish in an unnatural way. Maybe it's just me, I dunno.
But it is still good, and I really like that center one!
Now, can anyone guess whom she was based off of? (It's not hard if you look at her face!)
Hee. Another sketch based off of a celebrity? ;) You could make a list, and we'd have the KQ9 team's casting call for a KQ movie!
OK, I'm just teasing. I don't have a guess to offer, though.
The oval thing... maybe her hairline is just a little too high? My own face is fairly oval (but with a slightly more sharply tapered lower half), so I'm not sure what to say.
It's a minor thing, but the preview pic in the "Sketch of the Week" section of the "Home" page could perhaps use an update. ;)
And lastly... was the Cassima sketch done by a different artist? It looks vaguely different than the other two. It could just be that the fact that it looks more "painted shaded" instead of "pencil shaded" is throwing my perception off.
Peace & Luv, Liz
No, you're right, this one was done by Karen if I recall correctly. The last two were Jon.
yeah, thats correct, this is karen's artwork
I agree about the center sketch being the best of them.
Cassima looks very mature. I know she's supposed to have an "Arab look", but the bushie eyebrows are a bit too much :P
I couldn't figure out who she's based on... can anyone solve this mystery? ;)
Hey, now. No dissing bushy eyebrows. /me thoughtfully strokes her own bushy eyebrows a bit.
Peace & Luv, Liz
jennifer conelly (or whatever its spelled)
and that *particular* one was put together by meh :P
I put together some of the best faces cesar hand me over.
I think it does looks like a good cassima though, you see her and you do know its about cassima :)
http://us.imdb.com/name/nm0000124/
She was in Dark City. Cool. Well, at least I saw this actor, even if I don't remember her. ;) Must rent Dark City again, so my roomie can see it, too.
Peace & Luv, Liz
Cassima definitely looks more maternal now, I'm guessing she either has kids now or will soon.
Quote from: oldbushie on November 17, 2003, 06:01:41 PMCassima definitely looks more maternal now, I'm guessing she either has kids now or will soon.
You're just saying that 'cause you want something to base our parody off of. :D
Peace & Luv, Liz
I wanted to start a "which actor do they look like" thread, but then I found someone who already done that Here (http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/7224/kqcat.html). I couldn't read any of it, but it's pretty self-explanatory.
Heehee. ;D
Though I'm pretty sure that Alex and Cassima didn't just hug for a year or two and nothing else... ;)
About that parody, though, I think I'll post about it in a different thread. People might be interested. ;)
hahaha!! where did you find that link storm? nice! :D
Quote from: oldbushie on November 17, 2003, 06:11:38 PMThough I'm pretty sure that Alex and Cassima didn't just hug for a year or two and nothing else... ;)

That's what happens when you google too much :P Can you read it?
I like our Rosella. She's MUCH prettier!! ;D
Say, who's Alex based off of? I don't remember....
Much prettier than Grace Kelly!?!?!??! WHA?!?!?? Grace Kelly was GORGEOUS!!!!!!
But Jon's Rosella is perfect (and such a cutie :D). I think his design will work better for the game than Grace Kelly anyway. Rosella is more spunky than regal and so this look is PERFECT.
Anyway, it's time for you all to get your education in classic films ;). Watch "To Catch A Thief" and "Rear Window" and you will see how beautiful she was :D. I'm enamoured, what can I say! he he he
Hee. Well, I look forward to seeing what other "casting" you all have come with. :)
As for idle musings... well, I have a couple anyway. I know you guys were going for looks no matter how old or whatever the actor. But for people who could play it now... For King Graham... ironically enough, if you dig up screenshots of Robby Benson in his recent roles, he could pull of the look pretty well, I think. <G> And for Alexander, one online pal suggested Nicholas Brendon, and I think it fits. Of course I'm slightly biased, because I always thought Xander on Buffy was way cool. ;D
Peace & Luv, Liz
I love Xander!!!! He's a great choice for Alex, actually! He and I are very similar personality wise (I don't know about Nicholas himself, of course, I'm talking about Xander). I say that because I've had people come up to me and call me Xander - you can't tell from the hobbit pics, but apparently, I look like Nicolas Brendan. Well, I did with shorter hair, anyway. I'll see if I can find some "Nicholas Brendan type shots of me and post them on the ugly mug section.
Hey, Jeysie, did you see Psycho Beach Party? It's hilarious. I highly recommend it. Mr. Brendan plays a surfer dude ;). I'm not so sure about Robby Benson, though. Sure, he's old enough now, but he doesn't have that rugged-adventure type look.
I admit, Mike, I don't know much about Grace Kelly nor have I seen anything she was in. But I think this Rosella is indeed better for our purposes.
I thought Alex in KQ9/Robby Benson was good.
Having just taken another look, I can now totally see the Heath Ledger influence on Edgar!
Cool!
Quote from: mfortunato on November 19, 2003, 09:35:12 AM
Connor - erm, nobody on this forum really cares about the casting choices for him ;).
Hey, I care :suffer:
For Alex, I don't remember who the actors were that we went through. We did look at Robby Benson when he was younger - but I always thought that he looked a little vapid (sorry, Robby - I think you rock, but the still images of you from magazine covers make you look completely clueless - but then again, it wasn't your face the ladies were looking at now, was it ;)).
I'm not sure if I'm allowed to unveil Alex at this time. Since you haven't seen the sketches of him yet. Plus I'm not sure if the actor we chose is still the actor who is portraying him at this point. I'm keeping you all in suspense, aren't I?
Well, he's not one of these actors: Freddie Prince Jr. (ICK!), Brendan Frasier (whom I really like, but not as Alex), Luke Perry, Elijah Wood (although that would make an interesting casting choice - but he's a little androgynous for Alex), Shane West (although I like him in general - he was very funny in "Get Over It"), Colin Hanks, Tom Welling (he definitely looks the part of Clark Kent, though, doesn't he?), Nicholas Brendan (ah, Xander). Need I go on?
Alexander is none other than....................ME! MWA HAA HAA HAA HAA HAA HA!!!!!!!!!!
(I'm totally kidding, guys.)
Looking at that list... YIKES!! :o
What's with all the dorky teen actors? this is most unnerving :-\
Brendan Frasier as Roger Wilco - that's PERFECT!!! You hear that Hollywood? You hear the Sierra!!! Space Quest - THE MOVIE!!!!! MWA HAA HAA HA AHAA HAA HAA HA!!!! ...cough...cough.....cough....weez....
I've got to go to the doctor. I've had this damn cough for 3 weeks and it's not getting any better..... :(
Roger Wilco? how about This (http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/7224/sqang.html)? ;)
I FINALLY found the site with all of them (http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/7224/whoswho.html)...
It has KQ, SQ, QFG, Larry and some Lucas games - MI, The Dig, Day of the Tentcale) ;D

Oh, that's no good. My roomie's been ill too, albeit with a sore and clogged throat in addition to a cough, in his case.
I'm gonna tell ya what I told him... call out for a few days, and snuggle up on the couch with some DVDs and a healthy supply of chicken soup and fruit juices. You might have to forgo snuggling with the missus, though, for her sake.

Or, you could wait a little while and watch them with the pics (which are the best part) :)
Tori Spelling = horse-face. And BAD ACTRESS!!!! Reese on the other hand, is neither. IMO.
I'll have to go find these pretty boy Robby Benson picks...I've never seen them I don't think!
Aww, want to see pictures...sadly, must wait... :-\

True, but one thing I've found about bandwidth-limiting sites that are popular enough to reach said limit is that they have a tendency to be perpetually off-line, unless you're lucky. :P
'Sides, you can always get pics off of the IMDB (http://www.imdb.com/). ;)

Found RObby Benson pics! At hsi very own website.
I had no idea he was as old as he is.
And yes, rather pretty boy/vapid looks in many of them! And now, they may not have been looking at his face so much ;-)

I was lucky - I only had to wait 15 min. and the site came up. Besides, I don't think the pic are as nicely arranaged at IMDB :)
Robby Benson has his own website? where? ???
Quote from: KatieHal on November 19, 2003, 02:52:22 PM
Found RObby Benson pics! At hsi very own website.
I had no idea he was as old as he is.
Hee. Surprise! I think I remember calculating he was in his mid-30's when he did Alexander's voice.
And, you mention a website, but don't give a link? Honestly! ;D
Peace & Luv, Liz
Chris O'donell was a close call to Alexander, but it eventually went to...........................

That guy has some pretty creepy eyes... o_O
Not as creepy as your eye :P
Heehee! Well, I got slightly tired of the angel as people might wonder about my sexual orientation... ;)
Besides, what better to represent a Powerful Wizard than a dang creepy lookin eyeball? ;)
WTF!?

If it makes you feel any better, my roomie thinks your avatar is really cool.
Besides, my avatar isn't of a girl... you don't see me worrying! ;)
Peace & Luv, Liz
storm its also like me, she has had the same avatar since I can remember of :)
its fine anyways, thats why we got the gender tag ppl you can activate it or take it off, so there is no worries or wonders about that, that goes to bushie btw :P
Yeah, I know, it's just that someone was complaining on another forum slightly. They thought it probably wasn't a good idea to use that as an avatar... ;)
Ah well, I've got plenty of favorite avies. ;D
I've got a boy avatar. A 13-year-old boy at that! ::) I would use the bunny still, but I don't have a webpage with the picture on it, so Ron Weasley it is. I'm basically cycling through my livejournal icons and linking them here for an icon. The "Avast!" one was from there, too.

Are we late on the Sketch of the Week again? It's a new week, but I see nothing new :P
I'm not asking to pressure anyone (RIGHT :P) but also because it happened in the past that there was a new sketch, only my browser wouldn't show it for some reason :-\
How unfair! don't you know the week starts on Sunday? >:(
With my luck, he'll upload it on Tuesday, maybe :P
I'm disappointed in you, Say. You're supposed to be the one around here who doesn't try to make us suffer :suffer:
hahaha, Im sorry I dont force anyone on my department to work on weekends anyways, and Im not making you suffer, its how it's been with me so far, new sketchs available on monday, so far every single one has been like that only once that got updated on a sunday night (edgar) cuz will had to work very early morning next day.
And I must add will and neil has been punctual about uploading things, so I dont see a reason for that comment :(
Don't take it to heart, Say... I don't really mind that much ;)
I didn't even know when there's supposed to be a new sketch. IIRC the last one was up at about this time... so I figured if I can't make a post about the new sketch I'll make one about the lack of it ;D
There's a new sketch up; check it out.. NOW. ;D
Uncle Paul!!!!!! ;D
...oh, wait, never mind. Looks startlingly like him though! My Uncle Paul is a bit tall, has curly hair, a long face, and a broad chin too I believe. And the same kind of facial expression too. Maybe I should claim I'm the "nephew" of King Graham and inherit some of the royal money... ;)
Can anyone guess (or just tell if you already know) who is Graham based on? ???
He looks kinda familiar, but I can't think of anyone specific... or maybe it really is Oldbushie's Uncle Paul ;)
Well, the sketch reminds me of a slightly younger Harrison Ford, but I bet it's really another obscure actor I've never heard of. ;)
Peace & Luv, Liz
I was thinking Tom Berenger, but now that you mentioned it, it does look more like Harrison Ford - just without that famous scar on the chin ;)
Quote from: mfortunato on November 25, 2003, 04:18:52 PMAnd yes, Jeysie, he's modelled after your first guess ;D
Yay, score one for me! ;)
Peace & Luv, Liz
He certainly looks great, only he seems a little too innocent and "naive" for a king who has seen so much... ;)
hahah what ya mean?! you want him to look older? :P
He looks fine the way he is, maybe he got some more of those "youth fruits". ;)
I don't think he looks young... just well-preserved :D
The new Sketch of the Week, Rosella is now up!! ;D 8)
Hah! I was right! ...carry on.
Peace & Luv, Liz
Huh! I KNEW the next one would be Rosella, since we've already seen a part of her on the "Sketch of the Week" Banner. Easy to say in the aftermath, I know :P
The sketch is beautiful!! the arrangement is nice too... is Rosella going to burst into song in KQ9 as well? wasn't KQ7 enough for her? :P
I can't even guess who she's base on... Boy, do I suck at this :P
I just think it's funny how she's so serious in everything but that middle sketch.
It's like she was trying to be really serious but it got to be too much for her at one point. ;)
oh, she'll get serious ;)
and no, she won't sing. I wanted to do that at one point, but we decided against it and reworked the idea. I'm very proud of the result, but that's all I'm saying :)
But... but! Darn you Cesar, I was so hoping for King's Quest: The Musical! And now you've gone and dashed my hopes! I shall hate you forever.
:suffer:
Peace & Luv, Liz
Oh, and she's probably the only royal family member not directly based off of a celebrity. She's Jon's own creation - all his own :D. Beautiful, isn't she?
Really? Nice! I didn't know she was completely original. :o She's secsay! 8)
No musical? Well, I won't be shedding any tears over THAT :P
The Rosella sketch is definatly the best one (so far...) ;)
wow, the best one so far you think? really?
well I dont know I guess :P, I like them all :P (so far too)
The new sketch of the week is now posted! :D
Quote from: Jeysie on December 08, 2003, 02:24:38 AMI also still like the sketch, though. Especially since you're now tormenting us by making us wonder why exactly you would even *need* a Young Valanice sketch. :suffer:
I thought this question was settled - since there will be some sort of time traveling in KQ9, you'll be meeting a younger Valanice ::)
The cleavage is a bit too low IMO as well... makes her breasts look a bit awry 8)
awww, how can you be disappointed! shes pwetty! come on :D
Hey, I'm with you Say! I can't see how you'd be disappointed by that picture, I think it's a really good one!
Heehee, I do like hearing the speculations oh why there's a young Valanice though ;D
:suffer: :suffer:
She accidently (or intentionally) drank the youth potion from KQ2+? ;)
:suffer:
and by the way, on cleavarage, you haven't seen Rosella's other dress yet :P
Well, you couldn't give her a cleavage more restrained than her mother's, now could you? ;)
and do we ever NOT! :o
Are you hinting on frontal nudity in KQ9?? :o :o :o
I wouldn't put that beyond Cesar though :P
hahahahaha! oh yeah we got nudity on the team that is :D, we got some exhibicionist freaks... lol
wont say names but he knows who he is..... *cough*cesar*cough* :P
omfg you are spoilerman! >:(
Cesar -
I don't believe all those "outside circumstances" and secret reasons you claim to have... EACH and EVERY thing you do has but one purpose - to tourment us.
Heck, you seem to enjoy it so much I'm starting to think you began working on the game just for that :suffer:

Well, the recent sketches (well, recent to ME anyhow) look good! I don't like that Edgar one though, he looks a bit too girly..if it weren't for that, it'd be great...
Where's the Alex pictures? Bring 'em on!
Quote from: TakariFreak on December 11, 2003, 09:56:18 PMI don't like that Edgar one though, he looks a bit too girly..if it weren't for that, it'd be great...
Careful, Takari, you'll re-open the can of worms we opened, spilled, and closed several thread pages ago. :suffer: (It was all damn funny, though!)
Quote from: TakariFreak on December 11, 2003, 09:56:18 PMWhere's the Alex pictures? Bring 'em on!
Hah, so I'm not the only one! ;D
Peace & Luv, Liz
Well, don't get me wrong, I like Edgar! People make fun of him for being kidnapped all the time and stuff, and think he's a wuss. Yes, he needs to STOP playing outside after dark..but still. That pic makes him look girly, and sort of "gives in" to the belief of his "wussiness", which isn't a good thing...im not saying girls are wussy, but guys that look like girls tend to bee seen that way.
besides, fairy princes need to look more manly. it's a law of the universe :P
(edit: I found an old topic where i DID call Edgar a wuss! WTF was I on back then? Now, he's right after Alex in my book!)
Hee. I understand what you're saying, Takari. However, considering the way he looked in KQ7, the KQ9 sketch is an improvement in the "wussiness" level, IMHO.
Besides, he's darn cute, anyway. And Storm's coloring experiments are almost enough to make me want to drool over the fellow as much as I do Alex. Almost. ;D
But yeah, I think they should at least make the poor fellow look like he's been *eating* something all this time. ;) I fear it's probably too late for the "Get a haircut, young man" suggestion, though. ;D
Peace & Luv, Liz
Yeah, you have a point there...
Anyway, a SLIGHT wussiness factor is okay in a man..it shows he has a sensitive side...I'm not fond of guys who are Mr. Chilvalry (*cough* Graham *cough*)
The final Special Sketch of the Week has now been posted! ;D This sketch was actually a joint effort by Jon and Jhonny. Enjoy! 8)
Geez, I didn't know Alex decided to join the Marines... ;)
Peace & Luv, Liz
Hey!, he does looks good :P
no marine wtf :P
And yep, this was a co-work!, woo! :) we had to finish our special in a special way :P Jhonny Perez and Jon Stoll worked on this one :D
Yeah, I think his costume's way better than the green and yellow candycane one from KQ6 (heh, I know I'm insulting my own avatar hahaha). 8)
Hee! I didn't mean it in an insulting way, just that the whole effect is sort of military-looking, which isn't quite what I was expecting.
I do like the outfit, though. And the semi-crew cut is an improvement over that silly pompadour.
Peace & Luv, Liz
hahaha, wtf, good one neil hahaha :D
oh well, I think this outfit rulez ;)
Hey, he has my hairdo! ;D
BTW, are we still playing "Guess the Actor"? :suffer: The face looks vaguely familiar, but I'm drawing a blank.
Peace & Luv, Liz
erm... I absolutly forgot who he was based on hahaha, I would need to ask Mike, so Im clueless myself too :P
I can't name the actor either :(
Are you sure that isn't Connor's sketch? 'cause that's what I was thinking when I saw it. He seems more like a fighter than the king ::)
OMG!!!!!!!! YOU JUST CALLED ALEXANDER CONNOR?! OMG OMG OMG... OMG!!! LOL !!! :D
Quote from: Storm on December 15, 2003, 01:23:11 AMAre you sure that isn't Connor's sketch? 'cause that's what I was thinking when I saw it. He seems more like a fighter than the king ::)
Hah! See, my "Marines" quip wasn't so far off-base after all. :D
Peace & Luv, Liz
This is again, another original. He was supposed to be based from Joaquin Phoenix (villain in Gladiator), but he turned into an original.
And regarding the clothes, c'mon, he was king at 19. He can't be using the same clothes as a 60 years old King. It looks very kingly to me :)
I have the feeling people are going to love Connor and hate Alexander...
Actually, not a feeling. I know why :P But I ain't telling
MUAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA
:suffer: :suffer: :suffer: :suffer: :suffer:
Wow, just looked through the latest sketches and they are really impressive! I especially like Rosella, the artist has really captured how I thought she'd looks, not to mention the quality just oozing out. Great work guys :D
Oh and its been a few years since we last saw Alexander, I'm sure he was feeling a bit wimpy about not being able to stand up to the dog guards and wanted to beef up a little....just maybe.....
Quote from: César_Bittar on December 15, 2003, 01:53:34 PMThis is again, another original. He was supposed to be based from Joaquin Phoenix (villain in Gladiator), but he turned into an original.

Hey, I never said *that* either. Alex in funky stereotypical King's robes definitely wouldn't work. :P
I suppose it's just that Alexander strikes me as the diplomatic type... he can and would kick some butt, but only after the verbal parley completely fails to work. Now Rosella... *she's* the one I could picture getting medieval on everyone's rear ends. :suffer:
Quote from: César_Bittar on December 15, 2003, 01:56:36 PMI have the feeling people are going to love Connor and hate Alexander...
(raises eyebrow) That I find hard to believe... I mean, what, are you trying to give a girl a heart attack? :P ;)
Seriously, Alex strikes me as the type to let his emotions get the better of his judgement, so I could imagine him going off and doing something ill-advised out of that, and the fact that, I mean the fellow had what, two years training on how to be royalty at best? The road to Hell is paved with good intentions, after all. As long as you don't make him OOC, I think I'd be more intrigued to see what you do to the poor fellow, instead of hating him. Just don't be too incredibly rotten to him. :suffer:

Nope. Not kingly. Maybe it's his posture, or the belt, or the boots, or the fact thats it's so very tight, but his outfit still strikes me more as one of a gaudy guard or soldier than a king's ::)
Not to mention the hair... that says "army" all over :P
Ehh... did you just say we'll see him as a 60 years old king? :o

Why would you think that? I don't recall Alex ever being described as any kind of impulsive, or making rush decisions based on his emotions. Plus, he's diplomatic, just, kind, resourceful and well-travelled - why would he make a worse king than someone who spent all his life in a cusy palace "training for royalty"? Remember the king & queen of The Green Isles found him fit rule their land... that has to count for something :-\

I think the hair's a big part of it... you can't sport that sort of haircut with those sort of features without looking like you just came off of patrol duty somewhere.

Are you kidding? The fact that he was willing to go through all the KQ6 trouble to begin with for a girl he barely met says volumes about the matter. :suffer:
Seriously... I suppose "impulsive" might be the wrong word... "single-minded" might be better. The conversation with the Druids comes to mind... the Arch Druid pretty much bluntly states he thinks Alex is insane to trudge off on a side trip based on rumor, half-fact, and two unknown people who may or may not be able to help.
But what struck me more is his conversations with Cassima. He's willing to try to break down the wall to get her out... she's the voice of calm, saying, "Hey, we're two people in a place full of enemies... the direct approach isn't going to get anywhere."
Of course, I think the most telling is where he states about finding someway to get her out and essentially run away with her, and she retorts, "How? I cannot fit through the wall! Besides, what about my people? How can I leave them with the Vizier?"

I never said he'd make a worse king... he certainly does have the personality to be a good king. But if you don't know entirely what you're doing, sometimes you can do something out of purely good intentions that seems like a good idea... only to find out that thanks to not knowing completely about the situation, it was a really rotten idea. (Been there, done that, got the manager willing to kill me for it. :P )

It depends on how you look at it, really. You might as well say those actions show he's brave, determined and follows his heart ;)
You might also want to note he does bother to ask her these things before jumping up and acting. That's not really letting emotions cloud his judgement :-\
Okay, I hadn't even seen this picture before now. And all I can say for first impressions would be....
DAAAAAAAMMNNN!!![/i]
Woah!! Alex got HOT!!
I love the costume and the new 'do. Big fan.
Man, if only he were (a) real and (b) not taken.....

Yeah, but is it me, or does he not look like ALEX? He looks too young in that pic, and too 21st century...
And he DOES look like he's going into the army or something...
And his pants seem a bit too tight! You gotta give the man some room! :P
Quote from: TakariFreak on December 16, 2003, 04:19:27 PMYeah, but is it me, or does he not look like ALEX? He looks too young in that pic, and too 21st century...
Mmm. Actually, my first thought was that he maybe looks a little too old... don't forget, Alex is only 20 or 21 at the oldest.
Edit: Mmmmmmm... OK, so that's assuming that KQ9 doesn't take place very long after KQ7 (no idea how much time MOE might have taken up). Still, to my eye, the sketch makes Alex look like he's in his mid-to-late 20s, so there'd have to be an interval of 4 or more years to match up with my perception... or I could just be nuts. It's happened before.
I agree the face doesn't quite look like his KQ6 self, but it's close enough to pass as a "real-i-fication" attempt. After all, the KQ9 Edgar doesn't look entirely like *his* KQ4 or KQ7 selves...
But now that you put the idea in my mind, I could picture swapping Alex in that pic into a stereotypical SF jumpsuit-and-boots getup on a starship somewhere... er, uh, wait, that's like 23rd century. Well, close enough.

Alex and Rosella have just turned 21 on KQ9.

And by the way, Alex is everything but impulsive. He actually is the kind of guys that sits back and analyzes things.
The impulsive one is Rosella.

Quote from: KatieHal on December 17, 2003, 01:17:49 PMRegarding the first part: Hmm..well, I could imagine her hesitation in KQ4 to be partially due to the fact her father *JUST* had a heart attack. I mean, what if he died while she was gone and she never got to say goodbye? In the hours previous to that proposition by Genesta, Rosella's life was totally turned around. She was nearly eaten by a dragon, then rescued by the twin brother she'd never met, then Graham was about to determine who his heir would be, and then he had a heart attack and Death was just sort of chilling at the door! Taking a moment to think about breathing at that point doesn't seem too out of line. And hey Lolotte was creepy ;-)
Come on, KatieHal, you must admit there's a difference. Going on a quest to an unknown place to save your father is brave. Jumping into a magical pool without considering the consequences just because you decided your life is boring isn't - it's downright foolish. No wonder some people think she's ditsy :P
And if you're going to say it's the hardships and the danger that made her more prudent & composed in KQ4, let me remind you she did almost died a couple of times in KQ7 without loosing her cheerful disposition ;)

Er, sorry... I tend to throw acronyms around a little too freely at times. I meant YMMV as along the lines of "This is what I got out of it... your thought process may differ." :)
I agree the discrepancy between KQ4 Rosella and KQ7 Rosella is a bit odd... but it exists nonetheless. Maybe it's some of the things Katie said. Maybe knowing that she managed to survive one adventure gave her a burst of confidence for her second... (and made her more eager to have a second, for that matter). Maybe finally having her brother home just improved her disposition. ;D Unfortunately, it seems he wasn't around long enough for some of his rationality to rub off on her... or for some of her spunky cheer to rub off on him. ;)
I like Rosella, and as it stands, she'd make a great travelling adventurer-type. (Rosella: Warrior Princess?) But if she's going to be a good *queen* someday, not to mention a good partner for Edgar, I think she needs a small dose of reality to give her back a touch of that reason and caution from her KQ4 days. Just a touch... wouldn't want her to become boring! ;)
Peace & Luv, Liz
Oh, one cannot doubt there is a difference, Storm! I was just trying to draw a rationalization for it, since it exists. Make up the reasons for such, etc etc.
So now she laughs in the face of danger since she got away with it the first time. SHe lived to save her dad, and now thinks she's invincible! How 'bout that? ;D
Plus her "new and improved" personality fitted KQ7 much better ;)

(laughs) As funny as this mental image is, I would be remiss if I didn't point out the legal drinking age is lower in the KQ world... or at least parts of it. After all "Gwydion" doesn't have any problems buying an ale in the Llewdor pub. :D
Still... (imagines a drunken Rosella trying to "drive" one of those swan boat things)

Oh, hell, yes, wouldn't anybody? ;D
Peace & Luv, Liz

Hey, where I come from the legal drinking age is 18... and Gwydion would probably pass for that ;)
/me gets a mental image of playing KQ3 with the barmaid answering "buy ale" with "Can I see your ID please?" :P
hey, alex was over 18 then !

Well, either just turning, or just barely, anyway.

Jump into water to escape discussing marriage with mom - HELL YES!!
Drinking age - I doubt there really was/is one in KQ. Medieval times didn't really have one either, except maybe "when you're tall enough to see over the bar" ;D
Alex's age in KQ3 - distinctly 17. The guidebook that comes with the game clearly says that Mannanan kills his slaves when they reach 18 to avoid them ever becoming men and thinking for themselves. It then says his latest slave is fast-approaching that age, so we know Alex is just shy of 18 in KQ3, not actually 18 yet.
And yeah! New week, where's our new sketch?? :P

You know, I forgot to mention that I could definitely feel Rosella's pain in the KQ7 intro. She's lucky that her mother is (presumably) not Catholic... otherwise Valanice would have been trying to pawn her off on *every* male, including the shoeshine boy, the stablehand, and the town blacksmith apprentice. ...oh, and she'd also be going around complaining, "I'm not getting any younger, you know... I want to hear the sound of lots of little feet pattering about the castle before I die!"
Not that this in any way resembles any of my relatives. Nope.

I'm suddenly reminded of Guybrush Threepwood's many failed attempts to buy grog... :suffer:
Peace & Luv, Liz

THE SPECIAL IS OVER

Unique looks.. .well... unique! :D
The head seems slightly small for the body, but other than that it looks pretty cool. ;D
WOW, It's weird, but beautiful at the same time. :o
There's a new sketch posted! Check it out, it's nymph-tastic! :D
that one its also vanessa's :) !
I <3 it !
Pretty..... :o
I do admit I like a lot the nymph, but I love the skin effect thing, I dont know it has this magical thing about it that really catchs my attention :D
New sketch now posted! ;D It's a little different from what you're used to seeing. 8)
Right, it's a lot more sketchy ;D
I forgot to comment on the last sketch - the sea nymph - It's kinda anime-ish, but I liked the way it's different than the "classical" mermaid. Nice twist ;)
Hey, if anyone can tell me or is allowed to, what temple is that in the picture anyhow?? ???
There's more than one temple? ???
There's actually quite a few. I had to ask Rich cuz I didn't know myself either! ::) Anyway, I just told Katie which one it's from. :)
Yes, there's more than one place/temple it could've been from. ;D
:suffer: :suffer: :suffer: :suffer:
Heehee!
stop torturing my people over here lol, you meanies :P
wtf I love that avatar <3
It's OK, Say. In the immortal words of the window washer, "All will become clear."
Peace & Luv, Liz

the scary thing is that I dont know either!!!! :P
I find this incredibly amusing somehow.

noone knows anything at all :D
New sketch now posted. This one's definitely something you have to see for yourself! :o :)
Bizarre :o
Looks like a flying fish-bat that ran into a flying tentacle creature. ;)
I again have no idea what the heck that is. :-\
I believe "OMGWTF" was the first thing that came to my mind when I saw it. ;D
Do you mean 5...? That might make more sense... ??? ???
It's amazing how well-coordinated you people are :suffer:
Oh. OOoohhhhhhhh.
Okay.

not even I have a clue wtf they just meant by that, lol
:suffer:
OMFGSTFUBITTERZ :D
The new Sketch of the Week is now posted! It's really nice, check it out! ;D
Ooooooh! Pretty sketch! :D
Though, which is on top, the water or the land? ;) The water looks a little viscuous if the former. ;)
lol, wtf bushie, did you stop on your medication too?? :P
Heheh. :P
Nah, it's just that where the land meets the water's edge the perspective looks a bit like an optical illusion. Are those dark spots the tops of small mounds or the bottoms of small valleys?
I think that's the sand from the shore. ;D
I *know* it's sand, I just don't know if the sand is in hills near the edge or little dips in the shoreline. ;) At any rate, once it's colored then it'll make sense to me. ;)
Don't knock Bushie! I also thought that part was a bit strange... couldn't figure what those dark spots are :-\
The sketch itself is nice... looks a bit like a screen from a "classical" KQ :D
Ohhhh now I see what you're talking about Bushie (the optical illusion)! I just saw the pic as waves splashing on a beach shore. I don't see the spots as valleys, but just dark sand at the water's edge. :)

That's ok, I'm fine. :D
I like the new sketches. My fav one was of Unique. The one of the lake reminds of KQ games with turbulent water definitely not for swimming.
The new sketch of the week has no been posted. My question is she a: "Clothes Seller", "Cloth Seller" or "Clothesseller"? :P
LMAO! erm... whaaa? lol :D
Hmm. The "standing" bit of the sketch is really nice. But the mouth in the close-up is too fake-looking somehow... I can't really put my finger on it. The rest of the close-up is good, though.
Peace & Luv, Liz
Question: Are we aloud to send you a scketch of the week? And if we can, then do have to like use an adress of some sort to send to you guys? ??? :)
sorry, but Sketch of the Week is about the art produced by us for the game, and it's a way to let you guys see some progress.
Ghostface email me your suggestions at any of the emails available in my profile (whichever wont bounce ;D lately Im very high demanded and my inbox get's automatically full in a week) or add me to msn or aim or yim ;), so I can give you an accurate reply to this, k? thnx :)

Same here, she looks a little toothy or something, not quite sure... it could also be that they don't quite match up with the slightly freaky eyes.... overall though, the sketch is very nice, I really like the clothes. ;D
I also love the costume :)
Ghostface, post any and all fanart in the "Fan Art" section under Other Topics :)
wtf guys you b**** too much, she's so hotz lol :P

I thought the same thing...it's like a dummy face...
Her head is a little too small in proportion to her body, IMO. Im not an art expert, but it seems like her head doesn't "fit" with her body...
I see your point Say, but still! Artwork in games is suppsoed to be perfect! It's not real! lol :P But maybe her hard looks so small because of her pose as well...after lookint at it again, I think if she was re-drawn wit her amrs at her side, that her head would look okay
well, they need to be done that way (with their arms that way) because its how it's worked on 3d eventually
haha, Say, I think Takari meant that the size of her head didn't fit with the size of the body type of proportion....not hey why isn't she super skinny proportion :D
well, I was speaking of proportions indeed, not weight, when I said torso bigger than legs... I dont know what you meant by that lol but I didn't mean weight.
you would be amazed what you get to notice on observation, I'm an ilustrator as well, that's why I tell you its not as obvious as it should be, yet it is true.
I personally don't see anything wrong with the body proportions. It's the face close-up that looks a bit odd - not enough lines or something... of course, that's probably because it's just a sketch ;)
I like the hairstyle... looks kinda modern :)
I like a lot the skirt and details on her clothe
Yeah, I liked the clothes as well :D
Did you make this sketch, Say? ???
If I do any other more art ever I think dean will beat the hell out of cesar <3 :P
Well, maybe you could do some unofficial KQ fanart or somethin' whaddaya say, Say? (nudge, wink)
Peace & Luv, Liz
if she's going to be doing "unofficial" art, she'd better do something that we can use ;)
And Dean will beat me still...
Bring it on, Dean!!!!
:P

Cesar, you meanie, if she does *that* then you won't let us look at her fanart! :P
Peace & Luv, Liz
lmao! yeah jeysie he's just meanieh like that, btw I do have KQ fan art... lol, I will scan it as soon as I get some free time :P
Yay, fun happy Say art!
Peace & Luv, Liz
Ahh..say? I got confused by your post in General about why this is on hiatus for now.... could you explain for me? ??? :-\
you better ask that question through MSN
;)
You know, there's this forum feature called PMs... they're very useful things. ;)
Peace & Luv, Liz
katie never PMsed me btw, and sorry I can't say much at the moment, and not over here :P
W00t! New colored art! But...
None of the pics link to larger versions anymore. I mouseover and click on the pics, and nothing. What's happened?
Peace & Luv, Liz
WOW!! Absolutely fabulous!!! ;D
It's the Etherian balcony from KQ7!! right? ;)
Jeysie -
I had no problem clicking on the thumbnail and getting the bigger picture... :-\
awcrapz, sorry I forgot to lock this, this thread is dead, let's go over Art of the Week.
