wow..the thread got down..hope its okay i revive it
Not only was a lot done layout and design wise, content was added a ton too but a new Fan Art project (the third one) is on the way too, since its Street Fighter`s 25th Anniversary i organized a fan art tribute project like no other before.
Not less than 214 Artists will be invovled if everything works.
113 artists signed up already
90 Street Fighter Characters from SF I up to SFXT (Poison Kiss) will be drawn by 2 artists each.
8 SF Characters will be drawn with a gender redesign /change
8 SF characters will be drawn 10-20 years older
5 "epic" battles are displayed by 10 artists, battles like SF Alpha Ryu vs Ken, Adon vs Sagat, Karin vs Sakura etc
I have around 20 entries already, the project starts officially on februar 12.2012
The first tribute i organized which was about Mortal kombat is nearly complete, 79 of 80 characters were drawn, the last one should arrive this week http://www.game-art-hq.com/the-mortal-kombat-immortal-fan-art-project/
The second project was about boss characters of fighting games, it was a great success, around 50 artists draw over 80 images. even katsuhiro Harada, the producer of Tekken saw and complimented it a while ago on twitter http://www.game-art-hq.com/a-tribute-to-the-boss-round-1-fighting-games/

Hello, first of all i hope its okay to write about an own website here..i ve read the rules but didnt see a part about it
http://www.game-art-hq.com




About 4 Months ago i started the project "Game-Art-HQ.Com"
It was and is my target to make a platform for chosen fan art related to video games of a certain quality, just like it happens here with the judged remixes. Its in a whole a different system there, i dont have something like a jury, i alone ask artists which made fan art if i can feature their works ..so for now it totaly depends on my own opinion if someones works appear on GA-HQ or not




The next inspiration i had from OCR were the Projects
I know ocr since now nearly ten years and visited the forum often to see the progresses of the remix project forums and loved the idea that many artists worked on a big thing.
Thats something i tried with a fana rt tribute project now for the Mortal Kombat games,




i made a list of 80 playable and unplayable characters from the MK game series, these could be claimed by artists..but only one character per artist..since 03.10 all 80 characters were claimed..over 50 entries are submitted to the project already
The Project can be seen here http://www.game-art-hq.com/the-mortal-kombat-immortal-fan-art-project/ i am sure MK is not everyone`s thing and there is a second project for boss characters of fighting games already
There is a lot more, like official released artworks from the game companys, screenshots, cosplay galleries.. a few interviews and reviews




Every artist or cosplayer i feature on ga-hq was asked for the permission to do that and always gets a link to his prefered website..other website admins just copy and use what they see often, i instead try to work with the artists and make it a win/win/win situation in the form of visitors for both parties and fans which like to see good fan art
Thanks a lot DJPretzel and everyone else who build up this awesome community

Looking forward to this beast as well. The BadAss series is one of the coolest projects ever in OCR's great history in my opinion.

Alright, in less than 24 hours, the Vampire Variations Trilogy will be over! I can't wait for everyone to discover the epic music the artists created for you, and the neat artwork from Andrew Warwick. It's truly the best VV album in my opinion, with a strong theme that all artists followed. You can really feel the adventure while listening to the album.
 
I can't realize what we accomplished during those 5+ years. Dracula never rests but I think I'm done with Castlevania albums for a while. Thanks to everyone who participated, helped, and made it possible. I'm far from good with long speeches, so get ready for da bomb tomorrow.

If you are thinking about VV IV somewhen, I would love to join the project with fan art contributions by the Game-Art-HQ Community similar as it was done for the Final Fantasy IX Album. We did a Castlevania Tribute back in 2013 already and I know a good couple artists that would probably like to draw Castlevania Fan Art for these Albums.

Thanks a lot @ everyone who was /is involved in this project.

Under 'References' on the side tab there's a link to the current KNGI homepage that has a download link to both the first and second Vampire Variations albums. Or you can click here and find the download from there, for now.

I'll let staff know about the current broken download link, thanks for the heads up.

Got it. Should be fixed the next time the site is synced with the database.

Yes, the old website was online for just a year. You can still download the album at kngi.org/vampirevariations... Or wait for October 31...

My name is Reinhold Hoffmann and this is one of the best days of 2015.
 
Thanks @DJP and everyone else who made our first big collaboration possible, I believe that it is awesome to see a massive tribute to one of the best video games ever made that is both a fest for the ears and for the eyes.

OC ReMix Presents Final Fantasy IX: Worlds Apart!
 
September 9, 2015
Contact: press@ocremix.org
 
FAIRFAX, VA... OverClocked ReMix today released its 53rd arrangement album, Final Fantasy IX: Worlds Apart. The album pays tribute to Final Fantasy IX, released by Square in 2000 for the Sony PlayStation. Featuring 58 tracks from 57 artists, Worlds Apart is directed by OC ReMixer and BAFTA-winning Alien: Isolation sound team member Cain "Fishy" McCormack, and is available for free download at http://ff9.ocremix.org.
 
Worlds Apart includes a diverse roster of musicians honoring composer Nobuo Uematsu's largest soundtrack in the Final Fantasy series by arranging it in a number of styles, including folk, prog rock, gypsy jazz, bossa nova, acid jazz, pop, metal, EDM, chiptune, and more. Worlds Apart was made by fans, for fans, and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Square Enix; all original compositions are copyright their respective owners.
 
"Twice in interviews, Mr. Uematsu has said that the Final Fantasy IX soundtrack is his favourite of the series. I definitely think it's the most cohesive effort in the series," observed director Cain McCormack, who also noted that many of Worlds Apart musicians' "joined OC ReMix just for this project because of how much they love FFIX. Spotlighting the game music you really love is what we're all about here, and I feel like that is particularly true with this album."
 
The album's cover artwork was designed by Kevin "TheGreyNinja" Merriman, whose work was most recently included in UDON's upcoming hardcover art book Capcom Fighting Tribute. Supplementing Merriman's cover artwork are 19 visual art pieces by contributors to video game art fan community Game-Art-HQ depicting Final Fantasy IX's major protagonists and villains.
 
Game-Art-HQ founder Reinhold Hoffmann oversaw the visual artwork effort, confident that Game-Art-HQ members could commemorate, in his words, "the masterpiece that is Final Fantasy IX and its rich cast of interesting characters." Hoffmann also anticipates future Game-Art-HQ team-ups with OC ReMix, adding, "This was our first collaboration with OCR, and we look forward to future collaborations to create beautiful tributes to our favourite video games that combine both music and visual art!"
 
Worlds Apart's release also coincides with the 20th anniversary of the original Sony PlayStation in North America, celebrating the Final Fantasy series' final PS1 entry.

Welcome to the club. I want to do a listening party but the prime OCR audience is mostly US, and it's almost four and a half hours long which means if I want it to be at useful time for them I will be awake until like 4am.
 
I'll see if I can make it happen though.

The Game-Art-HQ Community is proud to confirm that visual art will be contributed to OCR Albums in the future after all tracks are completed to delay any albums for a couple of weeks or better months more. This was a hard decision for us all, but we are sure that it will benefit the fan communities in the end.
 
We are also working hard to delay the FFIX World Apart Album to 2017 now and are working already on more illustrations which will be published for another trailer that is sheduled for July 2016. Final Fantasy IX had the longest loading times of all Final Fantasy games on the original Sony Playstation, so it is only natural that anything FFIX related takes longer than expected.
 
Please Understand
