You want art samples? Ok then! :D

Here's my random pencil art:

I have also made a few cd covers. Here's one of the better ones:

Any good?

EDIT: it seems that my ripway account has exceeded its daily download limit. So if you can't see these pics, don't worry, they'll be working again in the next 24 hours.

maybe a little from pencil and paper to digital work here...http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/8276812/

and some traditional marker work:
http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/7237295/

i have Nero Cd Cover Creator as to save files in that format if needed as well as a few other cover design programs (i think). So the distribution format can be whatever needed....anyways, enough rambling from me.

Nice. Very classy.

"Rise of the Star". What did you think?

Resolution, 1000x1000 pixels. :)

[Mr. Bottle Rocket]

That could use some burn and dodge in photoshop.

[Txai]

Maybe. :?

Anyway, if DarkeSword likes my work, I can improve it.

[Vilecat]

Ooh, finally it's CD cover time. I wanna give it a try too <3
I don't have any real art to show though as an example of what i'm capable of (unless you wanna see school works =x ). I do have a few ideas for the cover.

I got a question also : is it only for the front or we do front + back? Any restrictions other than it has to be in "printable" format?

[DarkeSword]

Hmm...I don't see anything really impressive yet. :|

Vilecat, school works are fine.

It will have to fill out a jewel case for a CD; front, back, and sides.

[k u n g f u c h i c k e n]

Sithlord to the rescue. I'll have something.

[Vilecat]

Oh ok, that's good to know. I haven't found many of my school works to be good enough to present, except the last semester project we have. But since it's a CD-rom, well i'm too lazy to take screenshots. Instead, i've found doodles and such of what i did in the last months.

Image from a loading animation we had to do this semester. It had to be animated and had certain size and format restrictions. For some reasons, the colors are darker than when i made it... Must be the screen calibration >_<;;

Logo contest a year ago during a class. We had to create a logo containing a fish, a trident, a star, and the color blue. We also had to plan a space for the text to be written later. It had to represent an organism related to the sea.

Random doodle i inked recently
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v319/Vilecat/kitteh.jpg

The 2 pages of Kirby doodles i did way back in early November, when the project was still in developpement.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v319/Vilecat/KirbyDoodles.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v319/Vilecat/KirbyDoodles2.jpg


This is the first pencil draft of the 1st CD Cover(front) idea i had for this project.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v319/Vilecat/CD_Cover1.jpg
I might swap Sword Kirby and Fighter Kirby (his sword looks like a plastic toy :cry: ). I based the Kirby designs off Kirby : Nightmare in Dreamland, since it's basically a remake of Kirby's Adventure, from what i recall. I also plan to not keep the pencil outlines, to have results similar of MacHall's latest boards/comics. Title will be added above the picture.

I'll have at least an other idea that i'll post soon (probably later today). Please i'd like to know if it's worth of working more on this, and if yes, your comments and/or suggestions.

[StarZander]

I'd like to see something like this. I haven't decided on a background yet, and thought you people might give me tips on that. Also, the text might just be temporary, and the star will be edited so that it looks to be more in the foreground. This is just a first draft. Well, no more delay.

http://starzander.webhosting.tant102.mine.nu/kirby_cd.jpg

EDIT: I tried giving the star an outline. That's the only update with this one.

http://starzander.webhosting.tant102.mine.nu/kirby_cd2.jpg


EDIT2: Those drawings Vilecat made are awesome. I guess I'm outgunned, heh.

[Darangen]

I *really* like VileCats work.

Just my opinion ;)

[Linearity]

I'm good at drawing. I'll have something that you can look at in a few days.

[Hadyn]

How about....

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v101/hadynlander/kirby.jpg

?

[Darangen]

Wow, I like Hadyn's too.

I guess it kinda depends what feel we want with the art. Maybe DarkeSword could shine a little bit of light on that aspect as well. But maybe that's something to worry about after we pick the artist.

[KWarp]

I need Photoshop dammit. <(>_<)>

I like Haydn's Style. He's got my vote.

[Txai]

I guess it kinda depends what feel we want with the art. Maybe DarkeSword could shine a little bit of light on that aspect as well. But maybe that's something to worry about after we pick the artist.

The art work is an deep point.

I don't know. What's vilecat work? School works? How is your style?

http://img166.exs.cx/img166/2990/kirbyriseofthestar2gp.jpg

My work is still creative. :?

[Hadyn]

Your work's great txai - it's just not the kind of thing you'd see on a real life cd case, which is probably the kind of thing DS wants.

[Bundeslang]

I like Txai's work. It's great.

[Vilecat]

My work? If you looked fully at my post, i've posted a draft of an idea i got. It's near the very bottom :)
StarZander, don't say such things, your Kirby's very cute ^_^ Oh, btw i prefer the one with the borderless star, the other gives a "heavier" look.
And Hadyn, that's simple but great =D I feel defeated.

[Mazza]

Here's my idea of how Kirby would be portraited in the cover art. I drew this Kirby myself btw. So no official art used (except that star):

http://home.ripway.com/2004-10/189900/My%20Drawings/Kirbyriseofthestar.jpg

[Hadyn]

And Hadyn, that's simple but great =D I feel defeated.

You shouldn't! I may be alright at photoshop, but for some strange reason i've never been able to draw kirby that well. Your work's great, I'd love to see what you come up with if you keep working on it ^^

[Txai]

It's just not the kind of thing you'd see on a real life cd case, which is probably the kind of thing DS wants.

You're right.

http://img200.exs.cx/img200/5876/kirby20pv.jpg

This work is much better than the first version (For the front part).

My work? If you looked fully at my post, i've posted a draft of an idea i got. It's near the very bottom :)

Wow! That's really good. :wink:

[DarkeSword]

I'm not asking for CD cover mockups. I'm asking for samples of work you guys have already done so I can discuss what the album cover will look like after I choose an artist. :|

So don't make RotS logos or anything. Just show me a sample of your work, maybe a drawing of Kirby (which will not necessarily be used for the album cover). So far the only impressive stuff I see is Vilecat's, but I'm still waiting on more people before I decide.

[Ramaniscence]

Hmmmmmm, I don't have access to my computer right now, so I can't really show off any CD labels I've down short of RoFL, and I'm sure DS is familiar with most if not all of my wallpapers. I'll try to get access to my computer today and post some shizzle dizzles.

In the meantime:

http://duck.herograw.com/Covers/Rama-Cover-Front-Vol2.jpg

That's what you get. BBL!

Edit: And not that my wallpapers are an accurate example of what I'm fully capable of because...I'm usually pretty confined for what I want to do with my wallpapers so that my desktop icons fit right, and everythings not too cluttered yadda yadda...but I suppose that's kind of a given. >_>

[StarZander]

Oh, only previous works. Well then... Here are a few old drawings of mine. Not really on the subject, but that wasn't necessary at the moment, if I understood it correctly.

I hope you like them.

[the_mayor]

i'd like to take a shot at it but i'll have to wait til tommarow because all my better illustrator stuff is on my computer at school. although i'm kinda busy so i have no clue why i'm taking on even more work... then again come next week i won't have nearly as much on my plate. what kind of deadline am i looking to have? i'm only asking because i'm a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to this stuff

[Hadyn]

Darkesword, you're impossible to please.

[DarkeSword]

Darkesword, you're impossible to please.

Yep.

[k u n g f u c h i c k e n]

He's a fake ass perfectionist :roll:















I love you D! :wink:

[Vilecat]

Wow, i knew my artworks -and doodles- were ok, but impressive? Isn't it a bit too much? lol

Just don't give up guys, it doesn't mean because DarkeSword likes my work right now that i'll be the one to do the CD cover. To help people who wanna try drawing Kirby, there's the picture gallery of Kirby's Rainbow Resort (http://www.classicgaming.com/kirby/multimedia/pictures/) for some models. I hope this site'll be of help for you too guys :3

Edit: Took me about 5 minutes to realize what RotS meant in Darke's post :roll:

Edit2: Before i forget, if anyone's trying to refer to me as he or she, i'm a she. Just so you know =P

[Hadyn]

Thanks ^^;

I don't think I'll bother with this any more though... I mean, I could show DS my uber-impressive portfolio and completely blow him away, but i'm just too lazy.

Gotta worry about assignments more than a cd cover right now anyways :P

Good luck Vilecat, your work's awesome!

[Patrick Burns]

ds, you had some sweet sig a few months back advertising the then untitled kirby project... what was the source material for that?

[DarkeSword]

http://www.kirbykirbykirby.com/

The official Kirby site.

Also, RotS = Revenge of the Sith. :o

[chthonic]

Also, RotS = Revenge of the Sith. :o
More like RotS = Relics of the Star

[Linearity]

Let the man title his project as he wants.

Okay, here's my bid. I don't draw Kirby very often, so I'm not great at him in specific, but I daresay I have the necessary skills.

Here (http://home.earthlink.net/~dastuart/images/Kirby.jpg)'s something that I did rather too quickly in Photoshop when I should have been writing an essay. It would look a little better if I had given it proper time.

This (http://home.earthlink.net/~dastuart/images/Kirby%20sample.jpg) is a little doodle that I did when I should have been doing math.

And this (http://home.earthlink.net/~dastuart/images/geekfight.htm) is my "masterpiece" to date. The best comic I've ever done, it was a school project over the summer two years ago. Unfortunately I haven't done so many comics since then. :( Anyway, I have some other (non-Kirby) pieces that I rather like, so if you want to see them, I'll scan them after I get my work done. :)

And StarZander, those are cool. I especially like "Slight Impossibility."

[Conan-the-3rd]

It's just not the kind of thing you'd see on a real life cd case, which is probably the kind of thing DS wants.

You're right.

Why am I reaminded of Perfect Kirby?

Truly a masterpiece. I salute you.

Ps: Bab5 sucked. ;)

[Pixle]

I'm horribly sorry that most of the artwork I'll be linking will be on deviantart. XD

Erm you might remember me from a few month back from the horrible Kirby cover that I did (http://www.deviantart.com/view/12418954/).

Still, I'd love to try out for a much better one this time. Without futhur ado, here's a 'best of, Nintendo related' of my artwork;


2 Koopa Kids, Done in Illustrator;
http://www.deviantart.com/view/14714594/

Paper Symphonia (Horrible Crossover Madness). Illustrator.
http://www.deviantart.com/view/14271699/

Paper Symponia part deux; Raine steals Gombella's monster book. Illustrator strikes again.
http://www.deviantart.com/view/14298554/

X-naut BREAKDANCE. X-naut promo posters. Done in 3d Studio Max, touched up in Photoshop.
http://www.deviantart.com/view/14231838/

Sadra. Sonic's heir in the future. Quick 3d Modeling job. 3D studio Max.
http://www.deviantart.com/view/15368088/

Paper Maria my current 'masterpiece'. Most of the main cast of Paper Mario with a gender switch. Be afraid of Prince Peach. Be very afraid. Background in Illustrator, Main artwork done in Photoshop.
http://www.deviantart.com/view/15945103/

And, of course, ther's the 3D Nintendo. Done in 3D max.
http://www.deviantart.com/view/6839141/

That's about it for video game related artwork, I think. ^^

[Vilecat]

xP I love the paper-looking Koopa Kids you did Pixle. I can't really CG with a computer, i'm used to soft pastels and such. And the cover wasn't horrible, just not suiting the overall feel of the project =P

Txai's Kirby does remind me of Perfect Kirby too O.o;;

[Linearity]

Wow, thanks, Mythril.

That 3D Nintendo is fabulous, Pixle. I love it.

I'm not sure what you're going for, but I could contribute.

[Mazza]

So noone noticed my drawings? Ok then, I'm not going to bother with this anymore...

[Beatdrop]

OKAY, so uh, my computer kind of ate itself last Wednesday. I was carrying it down the steps to my porch to bring it to my parents' place over spring break, and I slipped on the ice, landed on the bottom step on my tailbone, and the computer landed on my chest and broke a couple ribs. Later found out that this fried my videocard. Soooooo... I think what I'm going to try to do is get FL Studio installed on my new machine (the one I'm using right now) and then pull the song file off of my other hard drive to finish it up.

Sorry for the delay :(

[Hemophiliac]

wow, sorry to hear that happened, heal quickly.

[genghisdani]

OK, I know this is crappy, but I was bored, so I tossed it out here in case you don't get anything better.

http://home.comcast.net/~genghisdani/RotScover.png

If you would like to comment, feel free to; I might work on it if I get ideas.

[Beatdrop]

Evil, evil font... And evil outer glow, too! So to sum up: if it wasn't for the text and evil jaggies around the edge of the the image of Kirby, it'd be a good picture.

[Vilecat]

Isn't that the pic of Mike Kirby from Kirby's Air Ride, on the site i gave? :?

Edit : f*cking typos

[Txai]

http://home.comcast.net/~genghisdani/RotScover.png

...

Please, we need more samples. :(

[Hadyn]

Evil, evil font... And evil outer glow, too! So to sum up: if it wasn't for the text and evil jaggies around the edge of the the image of Kirby, it'd be a good picture.

So basically, remove everything other than the "borrowed" picture of Kirby, and it's great!

Oh yeah, and Beatdrop - you forgot, "evil bevel and emboss" ;)

[the_mayor]

sorry i still haven't posted anything yet i've been kinda busy with this paper that i have to write. but i still what to do it. i'm going to try and get something up sometime within the next day or two. tuesday at the latest.

[Linearity]

I don't mean to be a bother, but I'm interested in this, so here are a few more samples of my drawing. I've learned to draw Kirby more truly to his original rendition.

Life drawing (http://home.earthlink.net/~dastuart/images/cabin_sketch.jpg)
Inking (http://home.earthlink.net/~dastuart/images/calm.jpg)
Really good penciling (http://home.earthlink.net/~dastuart/images/jadus_sketch.jpg)
Collage of Kirby (http://home.earthlink.net/~dastuart/images/Kirby_sample.jpg)

Please don't steal my treasured creations if you were for some reason going to.

Hopefully these are more "impressive." Okay, that's all.

And Kirby's "Air Ride" is really hard to draw. Anybody else run into that?

[DarkeSword]

Linearity, pretty cool stuff. I'll take you into consideration along with Vilecat.

To everyone else, I've been talking to other arists that I know personally about this too, so please don't be disappointed if I go with them. :|

I have not made a decision yet though.

[Vilecat]

And Kirby's "Air Ride" is really hard to draw. Anybody else run into that?
If you're talking about the title/title font style, indeed, it is x_X; I've tried a few times but there's always something wrong it seems.

I like the Kirby collage <3

[genghisdani]

I warned you it was crappy, but I felt like it would be wrong to not even try. Besides, I was bored and did it in my spare 5 mins that I had to work with.

As for the font.... I know. I hated it to begin with. I had nothing else to work with, so that's what I used.

As for the "borrowed" picture... so what? Check out the second CD cover art for Hedgehog Heaven.

Should I bother working on this? Tell me yes or no. If no, I'll just quit with this and wait for it to be released. If yes, I'll actually put a concious effort into this.

No, don't bother. Also, this project isn't Hedgehog Heaven, so don't use that as an example of what we're doing here.

[Eon_Blue]

http://www.therighteous.net/eon/csnew.jpg

I'm pretty useless when it comes to cartoony stuff though - notice my cover art dodging skills when KiC was nearly finished. Thanks Hemo!

But seriously, if you're looking for something a little more serious in theme, I might be able to help.

No 'offense' taken. I'm just saying that this is a different project with a different approach. :)

[DarkeSword]

Trenthian contacted me yesterday; he has a version of his mix finished for the April 1st deadline.

Beatdrop, because of computer and health issues (get well soon, bro), will be finishing his remix this weekend, as opposed to today. I wanted to avoid extending the deadline even more, but it seems that a day or two isn't bad.

[KWarp]

After this project launches, there will be a grand total of 13 posted Kirby remixes/arragnements in a timespan of 2 weeks. I'm gonna mirror them all I will. :D

Speaking of which, what is the Site Project policy on mirrors? I assume crediting the creators and linking to them is good enough. Anything else I should take notice of?

[herograw]

okay so... now that I'm using herograw.com to host quite a few projects/files I've decided that it would be prudent to not put all the eggs in one basket, so to speak. Therefore I've bought more webspace and have decided to host the kirby project on the new site.

new ftp info:

ftp: herograw.net

name: kirby@herograw.net

pass: asdf


for those of you who have all ready put files up, don't worry. I transferred them over earlier today.

that is all

[zarvoxthezadvook]

Sweet... I've been lurking since this project started, and it rocks! I can't wait for this to be complete! Props to everyone.

[Vilecat]

...

Where's everyone? This project's been eating dust since the last 6 days minimum, without any real signs of life.

[DarkeSword]

I've been ridiculously busy at school and at work. We just hired 332 people where I work, and I'm resposible for preparing all of the orientation documentation for them.

I'm waiting on Beatdrop, but I've also started my own mix for 14/15 just in case. Nothing solid yet. :(

[k u n g f u c h i c k e n]

I hope he is alright :(

Eew, that sucks. I wouldn't wanna have that sort of things to do for my job, i always hated paperwork =_=; Don't worry, i understand many people are being buried under work, for their job and/or their studies. I'll have to get into a drawing spree starting this weekend for the next month. I was more wondering why there wasn't anyone around to poke the project from times to times =P

sith, you haven't had any news of Beatdrop either for your project? I hope nothing bad happened =/ (btw, what do we call you now? sith? KFC? @_@;; )

[k u n g f u c h i c k e n]

KFC, and he is cool, I talked to him.

[Murmeli Walan]

I'm sorry to be impatient, but does anyone know about Beatdrop yet.

[chthonic]

I'm sorry to be impatient, but does anyone know about Beatdrop yet.
Seriously.

[Darangen]

As cool as Beatdrop is, April 1st was almost a month ago...

Anything at all?

[Dahlia]

Protricity has also graciously offered to lend his talents further down the line if this project needs more mixers.

I wonder if that'll end up happening. Hopefully Beatdrop isn't in any sort of serious medical trouble though, as it was mentioned he had "health issues".

[Linearity]

Yeah, this whole shebang has been on halt for quite a while now. I hope he's okay... :(

[Sir_NutS]

As a request from Shariq, I'll be remixing the Final boss theme. I've been working since last week and now I'm almost halfway through it. I'm having some problems with some of the melodies that don't fit right so I think I'm gonna have to make a lot of changes around the melody. I'll work hard on this and I hope I can deliver something of high quality to this project.

That's good and bad news. Good because of a remix by you, bad because I'm just worried about Dain.

I just hope it isn't serious.

[Vilecat]

Health issue?

Anyway, i'm happy to see the project's not totally dead (so many answers since the last time i decided to take a look around). On a side note : any news about the CD art? Doesn't have to be precise info, but it'd be nice to hear at least a word about it, since there's been "auditions" since the last month and a half or so.

Oh, and yeah, congrats Sir Nuts... or something like that... well i mean i'm happy for you... so yeah.. :oops: *shuts up*

[Linearity]

Yeah, I'm still interested. Can you give us an update?

[DarkeSword]

For cover art, I'd like something clean, artdeco-ish, kind of like a throwback to 50s/60s space posters. No black outlines on anything, no official art either.

I'm thinking Kirby (with no powers) riding on a warp star that looks like it's moving upward through a starry backdrop.

See what you can come up with, Vilecat, Linearity. :)

[KWarp]

I made this (http://www.kwarp.com/pics/WarpstarJoyRide2.jpg) a while back. :roll:

Also, who's building/built the website? Just curious.

It works with one of the ideas i had about Kirby's pose and the perspective. As for the art-deco look, i'll search a bit to have a good idea of the style. I'll try to come up with something worth of being shown publicly before the end of the month :wink:

I made this (http://www.kwarp.com/pics/WarpstarJoyRide2.jpg) a while back. :roll:

It´s a wallpaper. The original CD art cover dimension is: 1000x1000. :)

Personally your work need more basic techniques of digital art. The stars are good. But need a good planning. Also, more variation on the colors and more domain in the lights.

But it is not bad at all. Keep it up. :wink:

[Linearity]

Are you thinking of something like this when you say "50s/60s space posters?"
http://doctor-forrester.home.mindspring.com/images/Ep0201-RocketshipXM_large-poster.jpg
Otherwise, could you clarify?

Yup, my digital art sucks. Photoshop hates me. I picked up Flash instead and make cartoons, (http://www.kwarp.com/animations/kwarpadventures.html) but that's another story.

Anywhoo the project will be done by this month right? :?

Yes, that's the kind of thing I'm looking for.

[Linearity]

Excellent. I'll have something for you within the month as well.

[NeoForte]

Hello there. I just recently learned about this great project of yours and been reading up. Well I wonder if its too late to do this but heres some of my Kirby Art I have done:

This is a Kirby Dreamland 2 drawing I did after you beat King Dedede and Dark Matter's first form comes out (I messed up on his face cause of a bad refernce. I plan on fixing it soon):
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v439/Neo_Forte/Art/KirbyDream2.jpg

This is from Dreamland 3 at the end of the game when Zero is defeated. Kirby and Gooey with the Heart Power are floating away:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v439/Neo_Forte/Art/KD3.jpg

And finally a MS Paint I did of Zero:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v439/Neo_Forte/Art/Zero.jpg

Let em know what you think, I will be drawing a rough sketch of a cover and see what you think.

[DarkeSword]

Pretty good stuff NeoForte; if you'd like to work with Vilecat and Linearity on the cover art, that's cool with me. Collaboration is good.:P

[Linearity]

Yeah, do we want to do this as a group, Vilecat? Maybe now, maybe after we have our individual things done? I'm having a bit of trouble getting "art deco" into a starry background and Kirby. BTW, DS, do you want the Warp Star with outer glow? It looks cool, but not really like an Airstream trailer, which I hear is art deco.

I don't feel strongly one way or another. What do you think?

[DarkeSword]

I like the idea of an airstream trailer better.

[Vilecat]

Sorry if i didn't answer before, i couldn't go online since Thursday ^^;;; The comp's power supply went poof, and i had to wait for it to be replaced. I just got it back Sunday afternoon, but the day was too good to sit in front of the comp :P

I'm not against a collab, not at all. I already have a few ideas on how to do it art deco style, and i'm searching how to "render" certain other elements (like Kirby itself) the same way.

Now i just wish i'd master more watercolor and i'd try something with it :roll:

[StarZander]

So... you're after something in the style of like the european cover for ICO?

http://kidbritish.org/pics/ico_ps2_jp_big.jpg

[Linearity]

Well okay then. Let's jam. Vilecat and NeoForte and Linearity together. Let me finish my first draft, and then you guys can see how good or art deco it is.

Vilecat, watercoloring is a noble and difficult skill that I applaud you for having if you have it. Perhaps you can employ it yet in these circumstances, regardless of your mastery. And now, Lin will admit that he's playing too much Chrono Trigger and that Frog is rubbing off on his language.

[DarkeSword]

[StarZander]

So... you're after something in the style of like the european cover for ICO?


...

No.

Just asking.

[Vilecat]

Sweet. I'll draw a draft of the idea i have in mind too. And sadly, even if i wish i'd have it, i'm not good enough with watercolors to call it a skill... if it is, it's a very very sloppy one ^^; Nontheless, i'll try to get that draft done before the end of the week, between 2 coding lines. I'll do it as a break from work.

Oh, and if you want to have an idea of how art deco looked, the best thing is to help you with posters of that style. Other than that, in term of design support, there's not much offered that is not furniture, and books on the subject seem rare. Unless you have a Art History teacher that eats art deco for breakfast to help.

One of the pictures i kept to give me an idea of art deco coloring style for Kirby... or something like that o.o;

Btw, nice tutorials you found KWarp.

[DarkeSword]

Just answering. :)

[NeoForte]

Alright! I've dabled a bit in watercolors in the past but I mostly work in either photoshop or color pencils for color. I'll start making some sktechs and show thm to you guys to see what you think. Oh and for an example of my color pencil heres something I did a few years ago (sorry been a while since I worked this well with color pecils.)

[Hadyn]

That first one's really good, particularly the shading - gives a great sense of depth. It's about time somebody talented offered to help out - I would've myself but, you know, busy being cool and stuff.

It's a hard life being awesome...

Keep up the good work! :D

[Vilecat]

It's about time somebody talented offered to help out
Geez, thanks for Linearty and me =/

I think you take me too seriously ^^;

[Vilecat]

Don't worry, i didn't take it too seriously, although i didn't think you were joking about that single line. Or maybe i didn't think at all, i'm getting tired very fast lately and my attention span suffers from it. So a part of me is sorry for the other part not behaving like it should.

And you better go finish those S3&K remixes of yours, yarr! >:0
:wink:

[Hadyn]

lol, I will! One day...

I just gota massive assignment and only two weeks to do it, but after that I shouldn't have any excuses for a while ;)

[suzumebachi]

so um..

WHAT'S THE FUCKIN DEAL, YO

[KWarp]

so um..

WHAT'S THE FUCKIN DEAL, YO

I second that.

[The Joker]

Err... thirded. This project should've been finished ages ago. At this rate I'll be 20 before it's released. The day I turn 20 being the latter half of July.

[Murmeli Walan]

As far as I know, we're still waiting for artwork and Nuts.

[Vilecat]

Well you'll have to sit for a while for the artwork to be finished. The 3 of us (Linearty, NeoForte and me) are loaded with assignements, projects and the likes for school lately. We've talked to each others a few times, discussed on how to mix our ideas (along with the art deco style) and even tried to draw a few rough concepts. It's developping slowly, but it's developping. We're not trying to rush it either, because a great project should have a great CD cover :wink:

For myself, i'll only be able to give 100% after June 8th, which is when i finish school. Unless one of you wanna work on one of my projects for me, i personnaly can't spend every day on it, but only once each 2-4 days or so. I'm sure you all know how the semester's final rush is, so our collab team would surely be grateful if you'd be patient for a bit more.

Don't worry DarkeSword, we'll still present you what we've come upfrom our brainstorming to very soon (probably in about a week or 2).
It'll give us an idea of what to change, what to keep, the direction we should take/keep, etc.

[Sir_NutS]

yeah I'm having a hard time with this for several reasons. One is that I'm not having ANY free time lately and second, this song is HARD to remix. Mostly because its.. bad. Anyways, don't desperate, I'm not giving up yet.

[DarkeSword]

It's okay if you can it man; I just rendered a final of my own version. I got tired of waiting. ;)

Music for Rise of the Star is done.

[Navi]

Good luck, brotha man.

[herograw]

yeah so... upload the shit.... herograw.net is totally being wasted right now :P

[zarvoxthezadvook]

I second that... I've been watching this thread since it began, which was a long time ago...

Thankfully, it's almost done. w00t.

[Darangen]

If there's anything I can do to help, time.. hookers.. shut up.. nothing.. just let me know, I'd be glad to help out.

[Vilecat]

The CD cover is the only thing left to do, and it's being taken care of right now (we're putting more and more time into it each time) You only need to sit and wait :wink:

edit: like Linearity said, it's an odd style that none of us is used to but we're doing our best to meet DS' specifications. If you're an Art History master or something like it, then we'll be happy to have you enlighten us on how to do it. If it's not the case, sit and wait.

[chthonic]

You only need to sit and wait :wink:
You can bet your ass we're used to it. At least it was quicker than Hedgehog Heaven.

-chth

[Linearity]

Ah, pipe down. This is an odd style idea, we're workin on it.

[Claado Shou]

Glad to see that yet another project is almost completed entirely. Glad to see, especially, that Kirby gets some lovin'. God knows he experiences all sorts of hate because of the color of his skin. :wink:

Keep this shit up.

[DarkeSword]

Well I've got a WIP of the site up.

http://shariqansari.com/kirby/

This is basically what it's going to look like.

[KWarp]

Fair enough. I love the Kirby emoticon. <(^_^)>
respect++

Also, do we have a set launch date? If not I think June 13th, the launch day of Kirby DS, would be fitting. :wink:

[Eon_Blue]

Well I've got a WIP of the site up.

http://shariqansari.com/kirby/

This is basically what it's going to look like.

The header menu looks a little screwy in Opera. I assume it's supposed to line horizontally below the header image, like KiC does? In Opera, it's bunched against the right side.

What kind of fag uses opera though?

[Darangen]

Website looks good :) It's nice to have an update, it's been a while.

After the website is done, what else is there to do before we're done?

[Rexy]

I think the files have to be uploaded with the appropriate info about them... and then there's the set release date and exposure to OCR's page. Simple as that. Although you can quote me wrong if i'm off-course with all this....

Anyway, I can't say I followed this project from the beginning, but I want to congratulate you and the mixers for putting the project together, DS. :) Although i'm not entirely familiar with the Kirby series I'm sure there'll be some good stuff coming out from this established OCR project especially with the lineup and promising concept that's at hand here.

Again, well done for getting this firmly established! ;)

[chthonic]

The site looks amazing. We're almost there.

[I.Medley]

Unless I am mistaken, "L'il Traveler" is incorrect. The proper title is "Li'l Traveler," since the apostrophe is used in place of other letters.

[DarkeSword]

Sharp eyes. Both errors fixed. Thanks people. Still workin on it. Bear with me, it's finals season. ^_^;

In other news, I need mirrors for the release. If you can provide a mirror, let me know.

[ella guro]

I thought it was Lil' Traveller too, I just remember seeing it at L'il Traveller somewhere. Ah well, as long as it's correct now.

EDIT: Oh, "Li'l"? I've never seen it that way. Hm, whatever.

[I.Medley]

On the Links page, in the entry for OverClocked Remix, you wrote "reintpreting" instead of "reinterpreting."

Edit: VGMix: "with en emphasis"

Edit 2: About page: If Super Smash Bros. is italicized, shouldn't Kirby's Adventure as well?

Edit 3: Media page: Should there be an underscore in Adhesive Boy's name?

Love the project, by the way.

[k u n g f u c h i c k e n]

The songs were avalible for download.... doh lol

EDIT - I stand corrected.

[CHz]

Well, since you've declared open season on typos, the GBA version of Kirby's Adventure is "Nightmare in Dream Land," not "Nightmare in Dreamland." Check the box cover at http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B000070IW6.01._SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg.

*waits patiently for the musix*

[herograw]

'bout time

[Hadyn]

so, wait.. is it available for download? or is it coming shortly or something?

[watkinzez]

This is the part where they SAY they have to get mirrors up, seed the torrent, spotlight it on OCR etc, secretly knowing that the whole thing is complete and ready, pending its release just to piss us off :P

Am I rite?

[Murmeli Walan]

You say you need mirrors?

Would hosting the songs on my university webspace be good enough, or do you want something better?

[Darangen]

I could host mirrors for a few songs. I'll get ahold of you on aim later.

Thanks; and yes, it IS open season on typos. Feel free to let me know where I've made errors. I want it to be error free before we go to the subdomain of ocremix. 8)

Coming shortly; hopefully within a week or two. No promises, though. ;)

Nope. It's not ready yet. The music is finished, but I need still need to work out details of setting up the torrent and mirrors. I want to alleviate the stress on each mirror as much as possible, so the more mirrors, the better. :roll:

You say you need mirrors?

Would hosting the songs on my university webspace be good enough, or do you want something better?

Like I said, the more mirrors the better, so if you can offer some webspace, that'll be great. :)

Awesome. :)

Just so everyone knows, the links I have up on the site right now are just DUMMY links. They're there so I can test the design of the page and tweak how it will look. They're all just href="#". Since we're getting more mirrors, I'll kill the Mirror text and just have numbers as the links. :P

[KyleJCrb]

Hey DS, contact me and I should be able to help mirror songs for you.

[Rexy]

If you need help with the hosting I'd offer some webspace in your direction :)

[Linearity]

On "Theme of Li'l Traveller":

The word "traveler" here is misspelled: there should only be one "L". Do you want it spelled with one "L" or two?

[Dahlia]

Open typo season indeed...

[Linearity]

I'm just trying to finish the cover art. And DS: along that line, for the insert, do you want (or particularly not want) any of the stuff you wrote on the "About" page written in the insert?

[KWarp]

I'm telling you the best day to launch the project is June 13, Kirby Canvas Curse's release date.

JUNE 13th

[DarkeSword]

I'm telling you the best day to launch the project is June 13, Kirby Canvas Curse's release date.

JUNE 13th

I'm going to launch the project when it's ready.

[Dahlia]

You and your crazy, irrational schemes...

[Darangen]

Yeah, I'd have to say the best day to release the project would definately be the day it's actually ready. :)

[Xerol Oplan]

I can host as well, but if the bandwidth runs over 30 gigs, I'll have to take it down.

[GoldenYoshi]

I can mirror it when it's ready. Unlimited bandwidth and all.

Contact me on AIM when it's ready. (AIM: ThatGoldYo)

[NEG]

Quick question-me-doo, will the tunes be interwined into eachother? Erm..as in a continuous track? Or each seperate?

[DarkeSword]

Each track is a separate entity. There won't be any crossfading.

April Fools! There is no project! Just a fake site and a big, fake thread full of fake posts!

Ah-hah-hah-haaaa!

(Joking.)

[KWarp]

Allright, when it's ready then. I'll stop being a whining fanboy and talkabout Kirby DS a bit. Speaking of which it's a pretty fun game. Takes a while to get good at though, especiallly those boss battles. As for the music, aside from the menu theme, I don't think I've come across a track that isn't a remix of an old Kirby tune. :P

Also, does hastily downloading the project music and uploading to one's own website count as a mirror? :wink:

I just need webspace. If you can provide webspace that I can directly link to, then I can send the music to you beforehand.

I can easily find you some webspace on some Italian servers, if you want.

I think I'll have to pass on that. One of my Dad's friends is doing me a favor by lending me free bandwidth, and I'd rather not repay that by crashing their servers. Not to mention all the hotlinking I'll have to deal with. :?

Anywhoo I'll shut up. No more posts from me till the project launches.

[zarvoxthezadvook]

Meh. KWarp, you can always seed the torrent. Assuming that there will be a torrent. Which would be quite nice, for both the downloaders and the mirrors. Some good, quality seeds are always nice.

[Fusion2004]

Until it goes down, I can provide a mirror on http://www.fusionstorage.com.

As soon as you get on AIM or Yahoo, DarkeSword, I'll IM ye and you can send me the tracks.

[DarkeSword]

Just wanted to let everyone know what's going on.

I've distro'd the MP3s to the people I've chosen to be mirrors; still need to send to a few though.

I'm not going to make any promises concerning an exact date for the project release; however, I hope to have the album released sometime this weekend. This is not a promise or an official release date though; just an estimate.

Stay tuned. ^(^_^)^

[Darangen]

Woot!

If there's anything I can do to help, hit me up on aim :)

[Rexy]

As much as I'd love to hear the project in advance (and indeed I do) I'm being a saint and waiting for the project to be released before i'll listen to everyone's work. That's how respected the project should be, fokes. ;)

ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOFL~!!

[Darangen]

FoLkes, LOL.

I can just hear you saying that Rexy :)

[Rexy]

Fokes, folks... I swear they both mean the same :wink:

[KyleJCrb]

Is "fokes" even a word? :P

[Darangen]

foke you? maybe?

[CHz]

"Foke" is my -- a warrior's -- term for intense concentration, extreme undivided attention. Humanity [collectively] calls it focus. The "us" in foc[us] connotes "we" to me; a collective; a group. I don't accept that. And do not find it inspiring. I changed the spelling, ergo, its meaning to suit myself, using it as a self-motivational cue that Life is Lone: I am in charge and control of myself -- or as I roar in my mind during those bouts of intense concentration, extreme undivided attention: "Take care of You and Yours, Warrior. Find your Foke."

It is not my intention to get others to use it. If others do, others do. That is not a goal I care about. There are many words used, and myriad thoughts and actions and beliefs the general population practices that I do not. It would do well for those people to always keep in their minds -- 5% of the population makes the whole of the world work. That 5% does not think as the other 95% do. They think differently. Oh, Warrior, you mean thinking outside the box? No, I don't say that and I don't mean that. The 5% that makes the wheels of the world turn don't think inside or outside a box. To these individuals there are no (box)lines, there are no limits. Explaining this in its entirety would take more time than I want to give it here.

Man does not concentrate or think collectively. He can't. Man thinks alone, all by himself. He must. He has to. No one can think for him [another]. Even a group of persons -- people -- have to each think for themselves. "Our minds are in agreement on this issue," someone might say. Still the same, each individual person of the "we' must think for themselves the content and substance of what is being said that is agreed upon by the whole.

In any hour and any issue of his life, man is free to think or evade that effort. Thinking requires a state of full, foked awareness. The act of foking one's consciousness is volitional. Man can foke his mind to a full, purposefully directed awareness of reality, or he can unfoke it and let it stray amiss in a semi-conscious stupor, merely reacting to any stimulus of the immediate moment, always at the mercy of his others.

When one unfokes his mind, he is only conscious in a subhuman sense of the word. He feels his way through life, he does not think.

Foke designates a quality of one's mental state, a quality of active alertness. Foke brings into a state the goal -- a directed mind committed to attaining and maintaining full awareness of reality. It's the state of a mind committed to seeing, to grasping, to understanding, to knowing. A commitment to grasp all the relevant full facts to one's concern and activity at any given time.

Or maybe it's this:

The drug fad that swept England is making its way to Hong Kong.

The new high is called Foke: Fake Coke — a powder that looks like cocaine but is a placebo. People spend HK$62 per gram for the alleged glamour of cutting lines to snort at parties.

Those in the know say it sells for a lot more in Hong Kong. It’ll fit right in with the fake Rolexes and knock-off Prada handbags.
