Dragon Warrior

The lyrics to the song at the end of the Podcast are right here too :] [b]"OtakuBoards Is SO Yesterday"[/b] [i]Lyrics By Dragon Warrior and Boo Performed by Dragon Warrior[/i] "It's a dark day today. There is no glory in Dave. I can't bear myself, Put my heart on the shelf. It cannot beat, I'm in self defeat. The abyss I stare within, Cold wind on my skin I'm afraid I ought to quit. (Have to quit) Feelin' like s---. Darkness so black On my iMac. Wearing converse, Pain in every verse. Hair covers eyes, Everyone I know I despise. The Adam within beneath my skin. And I can't get away. And I can't get away. The Jason I crave With James I mistake. Now kill me in the face, Get away from this place! You f---ed up my life, Damn you Otaku[b]Boards[/b]. Broke my heart in two, You're all a bunch of whores. Please don't ban me, You're all I have left. You're what I eat, drink, and sleep. You're my every breath."

Why, thank you, sir. We've already began production on Episode 2. The schedule has moved to every Tuesday.

Sorry for the delay, folks. It is finally here! The first episode of Brad the Bard! Enjoy :] Feedback would be greatly appreciated. This took much time and work. [center][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HlZseZvtno8[/media] [b]Episode 1: This Show's Better When You're Drunk[/b] Brad The Bard is a simple-minded minstrel who only longs to win the heart of the fair princess, Kate. But when he is shown up by a more promising suitor, he decides he must take action if he wants to get the girl. And so begins his epic quest![/center]

So this is what I have thus far... [b][u]Writers[/u][/b] Dragon Warrior Canz Anomaly Vicky [b][u]Color Artists[/u][/b] Canz White Katana [b][u]Illustrators[/u][/b] Felix The Cat White chibi master [b][u]Editors[/u][/b] Dragon Warrior Vicky [b][u]Concept Artists[/u][/b] Dragon Warrior Felix The Cat White chibi master I went ahead and placed all the illustrators into the concept artists list, but if an illustrator doesn't want to do that, say so... and all the same, if someone who isn't illustrating wanted to help with concept art, feel free to say. Also, [b]Boo[/b], what exactly did you want to do?

[center][img]http://i55.tinypic.com/24fgsi8.jpg[/img][/center] [b]Brad The Bard[/b] is a new animated series I have decided to start with my friend named Brad, whom the character is based upon. It was originally going to be a webcomic, but it fell through, and recently I wanted to do an animated show for the internet using a style I thought up and this plotline seemed fitting. The animation will be pretty simplistic, but I think it'll really be part of the charm if successfully pulled off. Here is the plot synopsis: [indent][i]"Brad the Bard isn't a very good musician and is a bit of a stalker towards the ladies. He happens to set high goals when he falls in love with Princess Kate. But after failing to woo her and being shown up by a more promising suitor, Brad rides off on his valiant llama to find a way to make her his. Fortunately for him, he stumbles upon a foul-mouthed, animated, magical talking lute whose strings can weave the most beautiful melodies. He hurries back to serenade and win over his fair maiden, but he finds she's been kidnapped by a retarded dragon named Wade who was thought to have been long extinct. Not wanting to again be one-upped by the other bard, Brad, his llama, and his new magical lute set off on a quest to save the princess. But little does he know, possessing this powerful musical instrument will give him more trouble than he realizes."[/i][/indent] The plot isn't really anything super unique, but the characters will make it more so. I have a strong belief that characters can really make the plot. And the jokes and style we are going to try using will help make it enjoyable as well. Below is old concept art from the webcomic of the main three heroes: [center][img]http://i51.tinypic.com/53k9p1.jpg[/img][/center] As you can see, Brad doesn't look too bright, Luke the Lute looks like a jerk, and the llama... has backwards back legs. That was merely an error I didn't catch when drawing him for that concept art. I assure you the llama will be properly intact. Anyway, as we make episodes (the goal is at least one a week), I will post them here in this thread for anyone to watch that's interested. I'll also put information and fun other stuff in here. If you have any questions, feedback, suggestions, or just general comments, please feel free to speak. I can't wait to get this ball rollin'!

I am so embarrassed. Now that I look at it again, I can see it's the whip. I am sorry I ever doubted you...

I really enjoy the expression you put on Julia's face and it's amazing because it honestly looks like how she is. It's as if you were on the FF8 team yourself. Both pieces are impressive, but I do have some thoughts where you could improve. The way you did Quistis' arm is a bit awkward and I feel like you might have rushed it a bit. The rest of her looks fantastic and I think that's why the arm seems singled out. You spared no labor on her chest, and it really shows. Julia is probably my favorite, though. I just can't get over how you did her face. I would love to see how you do the other characters. You have me beat.

Welcome to the boards, all of you :] And Intru, for not being a native English speaker, you speak it pretty fluently. In fact, your grammar is better than most English-speakers I know sadly haha.

I highly appreciate that being a Star Wars fan myself. You actually do pull off Lando pretty well.

Agreed. I just needed those basics out of the way. They seemed to confuse me the most :3

So let me try to understand that... you want to make it so Ernie is replaced by Ernie when he arrives in a new dimension? I would think it'd be easier. Plus, if we didn't make multiple people for multiple dimensions, we'd lose out on one of the most entertaining factors of this idea... let me explain in an example... If Ernie is in love with Miss Piggy (hah) in his 2011 New York dimension and then he gets tossed into a 1300 medieval setting, he may discover his precious Miss Piggy doesn't even know medieval Ernie and she is actually a powerful warrior who wants to kill 2011 Ernie for trying to kiss her. Our characters running into their friends through different dimensions give to more of a connected plot. It makes for misunderstandings, consistent characters we can manipulate, and probably more plot twists and problems.

It's pretty simplistic song instrumentally, but sometimes it's necessary as not to overpower the concept of it. This simplicity seems vital for the verses so the chorus can come in strongly... and the breakdown is just fun in a box with its 8-bit noise :] I've heard this band before, but never this song. Its lo-fi sound suits its angsty attitude and I sense some kind of rebellious connotation in it, especially since it's using a controversial topic like gay marriage. Good song overall.

Good :] I think color artists would be our most needed asset as they are probably the most rare.

I would very much be involved in this. It really combines several genres into one so there's plenty of freedom for all kinds of writers to pop in. I think you should put this into motion. I have some thoughts now... and they're more just to get the ball rollin'. Basically if Bert is in one dimension and these dimensions are parallel, would that mean there's a Bert in the other dimensions too? And if so, would Bert replace the other Berts when he arrives in those dimensions or would he be able to meet himself? Because if you made it so there wasn't other Berts, then you'd have to make it so nobody had duplicates in other dimensions... and that wouldn't make them very parallel, now would it? Also, would Bert and Ernie be able to meet each other while in the same dimensions or are we never crossing paths? I also thought that there has to be a reason behind all this and maybe there's some paperwork buildup and a bit of a backup in the Time Central Station (or whatever you will wanna call it) where all these workers control time and space... and the characters that are getting tossed between dimensions are files that have been misplaced and being scuttled around the Station.

That does sound good... I mean, I vaguely remember Castlevania for N64 (I never owned it... but I saw my friends play) and they gave it more of a Metroid/Zelda feel rather than side-scrolling. But at the same time, Metroid is a perfect example of what I mean they should do with Zelda. Because you're seeing everything from Samus's perspective through her helmet. I dunno how well it'd sell, and I can imagine hardcore fans being pissed they butchered the series, but I say if they did it right, it could be a really epic edition to the Zelda franchise, even if it was only for one game.

What would you like to do for it, chibi? :]

That's a relief :] I'm very self-conscious about my hair.
