Nicdain Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 odd... weren't threads limited to 300 posts? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmar Bijlsma Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 It was always a soft limit. Anyway, with the new forum that 300 limit is more tradition then anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Umlaut, I don't know if you were around back then, but at first the Euro-publisher CDV presented a box cover where a clearly American G.I. is dragging his buddy away from that Panther. Hilarity ensued, and I guess BFC sent a few scornful e-mails to them because the cover was then edited to look less like Saving Private Ryan and more like Saving Comrade Ivan. CDV's Special Edition of the same game actually had a cover that didn't rape your eyes: The ugliest box cover ever for a successful game, though, must be the original Megaman for 8-bit Nintendo. And yeah, what Elmar said. Also when it used to happen it was such a hassle to fix the board that BFC eventually became kind of scared of trying what happens if they let threads run super long.

benpark Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Megaman. Aztec spacemen? "State of the Art" indeed. A primitive, loathsome state it may be, but somehow I want to wallpaper the insides of my eyelids with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Nice art there, Ali Baba. But I do have to nag about what apparently is an anti-tank rocket flying through that APC intact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heheh good catch, I knew I had no luck to get away with this in this forum. What could I do, it was in the script Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pvt. Ryan Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 I wonder. Last I heard you couldn't copyright a title, although the law on that might have changed during the intervening years. Registered trademarks are also another kettle of fish. If the studios went that route, then yes, they have it locked up. Michael Yes, the trademark would be the issue. When a company purchases Errors & Omissions insurance coverage for a film, TV show, video game, etc. they need to submit a Title Search report to get Title coverage included in the policy.

Gpig Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Nice drawings, Ali-Baba! Great staging and use of color/tones. Storyboard artist? Are you running Sketchbook Pro on a WACOM or Cintiq? Or is it all hand painted, old-school inks and paper? Gpig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is it all hand painted, old-school inks and paper? Gpig Thanks Gpig glad you like them! I'm a fan of your sketching These are random panels from a comic of mine. It was drawn on paper with inks and then colored with Wacom&Photoshop using watercolor texture and brushes to give it a less digital look. I have a small experience in commercial storyboarding but I pretty much try to do everything from comics/illustration/children's books. Still rather an amateur in the pro field though.

Battlefront.com Posted January 8, 2010 Author Share Posted January 8, 2010 Sorry guys... I'm closing this up since we've passed the 300 post mark. It's a tradition to keep a thread to 30 different topics instead of unlimited intellectual (and artistic!) wanderings. Of course feel free to start up fresh threads if someone feels something here is unfinished. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
