CDi Based FanArt

Feel free to move this to a new topic if you wish.

okay thought id get the bal rolling on this one with some of my own stuff

I had been working on a media player skin based on the golden statue in Inca a while ago .. well im still working on it now but the general design will hopefully be something like this:

My fanart/remake of the Minamoto brothers from Lords of the Rising Sun started a while ago:

http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/26923413/ (could use this for a part of a fan cover for the game I supose)
http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/26967332/

I never quite got the rest of it to look right so I kinda lost the inspiration for it , thus some of the details are missing like the kabuto (samurai helmet in the middle), might have another go at it now though.

And just as a final note for fanart materials my sketch of L Wolfjam from Mutant Rampage Bodyslam, is kinda poor quality as my scanner wasn't working at the time so I had to use a digi cam:

Was done using a paused frame of the video on a disc that came with one of the UK CDi magazines if I rememmber correctly.

Also if any one here ever wants any Escape From Cyber City avatar rips I have 4 that are easily accessable thans to deviantart and I also have a few forum sigs floating around.

Yea I know, I REALLY need to get out more.

[EDIT]

Okay I got bored and decided to make a Escape From Cyber City Bank/Credit Card:

Very nice art tgn-rogue! “Bank of Cybercity” – very clever! I like that Mutant Rampage picture, unfortunately it’s a little vague, do you have more?

You know you’re quite unique in this, I’ve never seen true fan-art of CD-I before. Except for those lovely fake covers of unreleased games I’ve posted a whole while back… And Merijn who ALMOST believed this one was real because of a little paintbrush job.

Yea I thought the creditcard was a bit different and well, didn't quite get the Bank to look like the "Escape" in the original but is close enough I thought at least lol.

As for the Mutanr Rampage pic as I now have a scanner that works I should be able to get a better version of it up, and possibly coloured in photoshop or something.

Well it is a pretty good fake lol, was planning on doing some fan covers of my own at some point, just never got round to making the final designs.

And just another quick plugging of my deviant art account here but, I think I mentioned before that I have a blown up map from the manual for Lords of the Rising Sun, well I now have a almost finished computerised version online:

http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/43114495/

Is rather large and some of the details on the symbols on the right need working on.

Also SOMEWHERE I have some CDi game wallpapers I made a while ago, might be on my other computer, will see if I can dig them out.

What happened to your 'Crow' signature? Sure I saw it somewhere now it's gone!?!

Anyway, love this material. My favourite was the Crow signature needless to say!

Ahh thought I was missing something .. must have missed it when I copied it over.... Okay JUST for you here it is:

My entry for the "Sig of the Week" contest on another site, theme was graphic novels/comics:

I think I have a few other CDi based sigs aswell, I know I have a BurnCycle one somewhere, I really need to get my old PC out and have a rummage around one it lol.

Very cool man! I never knew you were all into this fan-art! I'm going to dedicate a gallery for you, I love this stuff!

tgn_rogue · Post by **tgn_rogue** » Thu Dec 14, 2006 1:50 am

Haha thanks for the very kind words

, and well this is just SOME of the stuff ive done over the last couple of what 3 or 4 years of getting a bit too addicted to CD-i lol, I still have a fair bit hidden away left to find on my old pc in variosly over organised folder structures lol.

EDIT:

Okay just a little update on one current project I have going on at the moment ... I know its not exactly CD-I based at the moment but, when I finish the general look I will HOPEFULLY be filling it in for several CD-I game characters

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y192/t ... port_1.jpg
(put the url as I didnt want to stretch the page and it made the post a bit long lol)

Also although it does say UNITED KINGDOM OF .. thats gonna change when I finish/add the actual character details .. at the moment its just a general placeholder for any text that will go there lol.

And in other news:

I finally got round to scanning up a version of the mutant rampage pic...

I say A "Version of" as I kinda re-drew it on a seperate piece of cleaner A4 paper and went over it in CD-Writer pen before I scanned it up so the lines are a little thicker than I would have liked but oh well also scaled it down to fit on screen (and hide the mistakes and lack of a cleanup) lol:

That's really nice. I'm sure the guys at Animation Magic would approve!

Thanks, I did have a coloured version on the network at college done in Flash but I never got a chance to back it up to my 60GB ipod and take home so that one was kinda lost lol. Should get round to re-doing it sometime using this one I think lol.

That is nice indeed! Try to give it a gloomy touch and 'scary' colours and if you're not careful, it might end up on the index page of my website

tgn_rogue · Post by **tgn_rogue** » Tue Dec 19, 2006 1:25 am

Haha ahh well ... your talking to someone who is slightly "Gothically Inclined" here so dark & gloomy isn't a problem for me

lol... infact my lecturers were always commenting on me in college about how ... dark my work was lol.

EDIT1:
Okay thought id just do a quick update lol, am working on the coloured version of everyones faourite Bodlsyam presenter oh and found this on my old pc:

Not exactly great, or in my opinion as good as my current one, but hey its better than my old Burn Cycle one at least. Should hopefully a coloured version of L Wolf Jam up soon.

EDIT2: Right this one isnt exactly CDi Fanart BUT it was a rough test for me trying out a new colouring style that im thinking of using for the L Wolf Jam Pic. You think it would suit the pic if coloured it this way?

EDIT3:
(Sorry for the double post but I couldnt edit the last post again for some reason

)

Just finished adding some more to the 12th Centure Map of Japan for the Lords of the Rising Sun side of my work:
http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/43114495/

And in this one I added it to the basic background to another wallpaper sized image I finished earlier this morning:
http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/47398009/

EDIT4:
Okay got bored and decided to try and make my 220 in photoshop form scratch. ONly refferences were me running up and down the stairs to look at the 220 in my room:
http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/49142360/

Anyone think they can find a use for it?

EDIT5:
Okay basically the same technique used as in the 220 player image but for the remote control. Main reaosn that I actually made this was for use in a possible design for the Black Moon background image
