Say what!? I have to see what's up with my book store then!

Posted on: June 14, 2010, 04:04:09 AMOK, I finally got it! I don't understand that I receive other e-mails from my bookstores except for when the book I order arrives.

They mention they sent me a e-mail on the 11th, but I'll have to check.

So the next volume is this month and the final one? Looking forward to it. Anyway did Vent flirt with Prairie in the fan-translation of the MMZX manga? 'Cause above Prairie when Vent is talking to her, asking her, her age and what school she goes to is "Flirt". Just caught my eye.

I like how the characters were done and the translations are very nice, though the Hivolt dialogue about thunder and electric comment seemed strange. I'm guessing Vent though he can shoot off electric by using his hands and didn't think his whole body was powered by electric, which is strange still.

I wonder if the ZX Advent manga will come over here as well?

Since it's getting closer to its release date, is there any more new news about it so far? Besides that Leo's Servant is the new "Saver" servant class?

Posted on: June 10, 2010, 10:35:38 PMBasic System and Battle System
[youtube]rKQkCHsgeQ0[/youtube]


Finally the first true glimpse at the game's battle system! It's not a turn-based battle system, but a rock-paper-scissor sort of battle system.

There's 4 different commands to use:
Attack
Defend
Break
Skills

I guess it follows this format on what's stronger and weaker against
Attack -> Break -> Defend -> Attack

Using the Defend command against a Attack command not only reduces the damage you take, but you also get to counter attack.

Using the Break command pierces through the Defend command.

Using the Attack command out-maneuvers the Break command.

Skills are neutral I guess (though the enemy did Guard against it and reduce the damage a bit), but it does cost MP for the servant to use. Also the Master has skills of their own so they can actually fight with their servants (apparently refer to as Code Crush abilities).

Using the same command, like Attack, both player and opponent attacking each other without being interrupted.
Also there's this "Extra Turn" move, I guess intercepting the opponents' moves 3 times results in an additional turn to attack the enemy.

Looks very interesting, can't wait until it comes out!

OK, this manga was suppose to come out March 29th, then it was pushed back to April 28th and then last time for May 7th (IIRC) and it still hasn't hit stores yet and it's near the end of the month. The second volume is due July 2010 soon so the first volume should be out soon, but it's being delayed.

Does anyone know any news of why it hasn't been released yet and is there anyone who's going to buy this when it comes out? I've pre-order and waiting patiently for this to come out, but I haven't anything about it as of late.


This is a preview of it since March:

« on: May 26, 2010, 09:07:20 PM »

I never saw a problem with Heroes or Unleashed, I love both Sonic games and they're awesome in my opinion.

I always considered them both to be excellent (and the reappearance of the Chaotix group, minus Might, from Knuckles Choatix made me super happy as I missed those guys). I guess some of the camera controls and enemy wave boss battle were annoying, but Heroes was a great... can't say much about Tails' voice (why did they have to change it).

I've played the original Sonic games (I still have the original Sega Genesis cartridges of Sonic 1 and 2) and Sonic 3 & Knuckles, nothing tops this at the moment for me.

Though Sonic Colors has made me raise my eyebrows on this one.

That is the back of the foot... should've done a little more detail there or added some toes.

Anyway here's a little surprise I did... nothing major just made this in Photoshop which took 30-40 minutes each drawing.

I drew this a while back before making Chris' new Trident Hairstyle but forgot to upload it even though I scanned it.

Corona Blades



At first, in both TLH and in the VirusChris manga series, Chris Aero/Yuushi
starts off with just one sword until he gains a twin sword ability. Also due
to Chris' nature and skills he can create small hurricanes/whirlwinds with
their swords to trap enemies within his attack range and prevent them
from running away.

The Corona Blades are originally a pair of twin swords for dual-wielding.

It's a cross between a Katana and a Broadsword, but it's either small or
big.

Height: 5'4"
Weight: Varies (the user inputs their own Ki to increase or decrease the
weight for training and attacking)


That's it for today! Wish I did something for yesterday since it was birthday.

I like Fate/stay night and I've seen the anime and I'm going to watch the VN videos on YouTube (with certain scenes removed of course) and I like the storyline. I haven't read Fate/Zero or any of the other Type-Moon VNs.

Besides it's hard to make stories original nowadays, but they try and make a some twist and turns in the story that make it unique and enjoyable. I understand if you don't like it, but if you dislike Type-Moon and their work then why are you here complaining about it? You can just simply ignore it and move on with your life.

Itīs cool for sketching every once in a while.

Now, to be a bit more on-topic or going off-topic a lot further: Am I the only one who finds this a bit disturbing?

The face on the right doesnīt look bad though

That is the back, or sole, of a foot though I was seeing if I can add some toes there but I wasn't sure so I let it like the person was standing on their toes. Since feet are rarely sometimes I wanted to work on them (they're somewhat easier to draw than hands) though having some good reference would help a lot!

Also doing a 8 figure for drawing feet is very helpful! The feet are like 8 figures! I'll remember this next time! Thanks Quickman!

True, but having that type of Tablet is quite helpful in certain situations however I'll continue to use my current Tablet. I'm in no rush.

I think I'm starting to see what the battle system is like. Though this is a guess I think the turn-based battle system works like this:

There's these turn slots (I think there's 8 in the video I have to recheck) and the player/master tells what the servant does in those turns (like setting up a strategy like in SRPG with combos) like Attack, Defend, Special Attack,etc... Also I think it may have a rock-paper-scissor method of battle as well depending on what actions the player tells the servant to do which resulted in the "Evade" action in the first trailer.

I'm not sure but it seems like that or close to it and that's pretty interesting. A different take at turn-based RPGs as it reminds me of Persona a bit and I love those RPGs. I can't wait until this game comes out, I like to try it.

Ah so you got tablet too, I see no need for fancier tablet personally, you can rotate image in photoshop.

Well the ability to rotate the Tablet around to draw more naturally (I rotate my drawing paper myself) is very nice, but I'm going to stick with my Wacom Tablet for the time being. I had it for like a year or two as a Christmas Present.

I may get the Cinq one day, but for now I'll practice using the Wacom Tablet. Gotta learn how to draw a picture without rotating.

Drawings #73:



This is my 73rd drawing batch and I drew all of it on a longer piece of paper (which, sadly,
couldn't completely fit into my scanner to upload to the computer).

Here I was doing some light sketches, starting with the young boy's face and body up top
while gently sketching the lines of his hair. Then I proceeded to draw Ami Rozu's father, Kelvin
(the name sort click to me and I haven't found a better name to use for him), as I envisioned
what Ami's father looked like but I needed to draw him out.

I don't know what to give for a last name for Kelvin, as when he married Ami's mother he took
her maiden name as his last name (it's a tradition in the Rozu family for the male outsider to
take the wife's maiden name as their last name and their first-born child will be named as Ami
as well, if it's a female). So Ami's family is like this:

Kelvin Rozu (Father, his last name not known)
Ami Moonflower Rozu (Mother, aka Ami VI)
Ami Nightingale Rozu (Daughter, aka Ami VII)

Not sure about her mother's middle name as it's a placeholder for now.


Afterwards I started working on drawing a female body as I need practice on drawing the
main body of characters, both male and female, and I started with the female as they have
curves to show off their bodies (whether they do or not) and because I have fanarts I want to
do center on 4 female characters from a series I like.

The female body is based off of Riza's body (taken the somewhat skin-tight shirt from her)
from Princess Resurrection. Though the shorts on my own design.

And finally the smiling face of some creature I do not know that I've drawn.

Your thoughts guys? Only beef I have is with Kelvin's eyes... too big which makes him more youthful
than mature. Need to make them smaller next time.


Tablet - Practice Drawing:



This is a little doodle I do in Photoshop by using my Wacom Tablet to draw her out.

Yes, it's a female (though going by face isn't enough), and I did some light strokes to draw
out her hair and face.

This is just for practice as I'm going to start doing some digitally artwork soon and I need to
get used to my Wacom Tablet (want to get the new Tablet, I think it's called Cinqa or
something close to that, which has a rotating screen where you draw directly on the screen
like you're drawing on paper).

Nothing much, just a quick drawing that took like 2 minutes to draw as I was taken time
drawing it slowly.

We don't really know much about the battle system yet, so give it some time. It looks pretty interesting and unique in its own right.

I would love to try this out if it comes over to the US.

Trident-Hairstyle 05:



This is my fifth attempt at making Chris' Trident-style Hairstyle
look unique and better.

I think I nailed it this time, I remember a video game
character having a very similar hairstyle with the spiky bangs
going downward to cover the forehead so I burrowed that
and added it here!

I think it came out great, but I guess it will take a while to get
use to how he looks now. I'm happy I got something for this
hairstyle!
