Bio-Boosted Dude

his site's been brought up a couple of times, so perhaps he would've mentioned something if he was still around. hmm..

i don't have that dvd cover in particular, but i do have some other high resolution art works

good chapter! i liked the narrative quality. felt quite different to what we usually get; in pace and style. i'm not sure if i'm convinced tetsuro and mizuki are on silha though. if they were, i would've thought alkanphel's crystal would've been stolen by now, assuming apollon is not alky (and this is definitely something takaya would show rather than tell) someone remind me, has alky been seen since apollon's awakening?

i've seen some pretty impressive papercrafts made with pepakura! it looks like fun and i would really love to see your progress on this.

this is beautiful dude! not a single bit of detail that looks off. i especially like the purple bits around his chin and etc. the highlighting is superb. although did you consider putting the landscape lower down on the image at any point? i like how it's done but i think it is fairly high. just a thought

i wasn't quoting you about you being "about to offer" the volumes, but about how you said ryuki's arc name had to change. and this prompted me to think whether they really are necessary, or just a bit trivial. sorry if there was misunderstanding anyway...

Cannibal!! some of those website are so nostalgic!! i can't believe they still exist. i even forgot about 'guyver.com'. anyone know what that guyver image by the logo is? a custom figure? it's hilarious to see updates from, what, 1998? one of them had a gap of 3 years, the final update in 2001 saying "i don't plan to update this site again ever". pretty funny if not a lil depressing and also thanks for embarrassing me by putting up my crummy freewebs site hahaha. i completely forgot about it!

well this is why i thought...

does this baka website require each arc to be named? because if so then we have a long discussion ahead of us i'm sure. if so.... i don't think 'guyver' needs to go into every title. using the same arcs as the quoted post: -Origin of the Guyver arc -Struggle at Mt. Minikami -Birth of the Gigantic -Rescue Aptom while 'Exceedingly long night' was a charming pun and reference to volume 25's title, it reads a little engrish i think. although i may just think that because of the engrish already associated with the book and on the volume's cover "Exeed long night"

i didn't really think there were any active guyver fansites apart from this one to be honest, so i haven't tried searching in a long time. i really miss bio-boost.co.uk though. great information and images on there

i would be tempted to call volume 1 its own arc as well to be honest... it really is a separate struggle to mount minikami.

eeeh, 150 minute review of guyver bashing. i watched the beginning and then skipped around a bit on the first part, it doesn't look particularly good so i think i'll pass on the rest. is it normal to review the WHOLE of a series like this? it looked like they were just going to talk me through all 26 episodes pointing out what they liked or didn't. doesn't really seem like a real review format. it's more like 'if you're too lazy to watch the show but eager enough to watch two guys say silly things about select scenes for 150 minutes'.

now THAT is nice man. really like it. i'm a little confused about what you meant about the angle of the top panel i attached an image of its profile on the left is how i thought it was shaped. did u mean for it to be shaped like the right? i'm only asking in case i can be of any help in helping you sort out the confusion

here's a very crude mock up of what i meant about the shading it's been a while since i loaded up photoshop so this one segment took me quite a while. i don't think i'd have time to do the others i forgot how much effort such things can be!! so well done on what you have so far because it does look good. also my colours aren't as nice yours but you should get the idea!! the panel at the top is what i thought you did - draw in hard shadows and then soften the edges while still keeping some of the hardness basically i'm suggesting having a mixture of softer and harder edges. unless you are specifically going for the glossy look. maybe what i've suggested is too derivative of the 3x3 design i made for the site some years ago.

I think a texture could do a lot for it. maybe the kind of smokey look that's on the current one. about the highlighting and shading, . it looks like they're all hard edges with soft ones around at the moment? i think it would look nicer with some variation around the edges. hard and soft and both? also isn't it a little wide with the feathery things? you said a problem with the current design is that parts (links) get obscured by the newsfeed. this design is wider than what we have now. unless you're okay with the design being obscured as long as part of the panel can be clicked on

yeah second definitely looks a lot better the first one looks like old style samurai armour. the more organic you can make it look the better; i feel that is what works so well with the current design. it looks a little "clumpy" compared to the looseness of what we have now but i'm really interested to see how you develop the second one. i'll grow to it i'm sure, especially once you spruce it up a bit. also not sure about integrating the armoured-legends into the image like that. might work equally well if not better if it's just a title beneath. just my thoughts!

i thought the McGyver WAS in the original version? also how is the "Bent" on Sho's shirt the right way round? anyway, thanks a bunch for this Matt. As always, very nice to have edit: wow, i was not aware how far we had come on the gathering scans front. the scans for volume 6 and 7 are so nice!! great quality. are they from SE? and also, who is kazuto (scanlator of vol. 4) ?

thank you muchly for the scanlation salkafar! nice chapter. still a bit much recap for my taste though.

Ah yes, well I know about THAT kind of filler. padding out fights and stuff. i'm okay with that most of the time, especially if it's entertaining. but in shippuuden I'm talking about filler story lines and were completely made up that had been mixed in with relevant story points. Like that stupid made up ghost story in the middle of naruto's training and around the same time the Three Tails was being seen for the first time. Those are the stupid mix ups I'm talking about. This is where i stopped watching. it must've been episode 68 or something like that

this actually sounds like a really itneresting idea ryuki. i would be particularly interested in shippuuden episodes. the reason i stopped watching the anime was because of the filler, and when i discovered they began mixing filler storylines into canon episodes rather than seperating them out into arcs i grew absolutely sick of the anime. who's stupid idea was that!? i will give one of your episodes a download in the near future though and give some feedback!

Haha well I stand very corrected Now that you mention it, I do remember in the old MGS manual he is credited Sean Barker even though the game states its David Hayter

i just think this is interesting as it is the first time i have ever heard Hayter acknowledge the guyver movies! not that i thought he wasn't particularly proud of them, just that he's always caught up in MGS and other things.

i really like the look of the control metal, can you post a picture just of the head zoomed in if you have one? the sword and shield are also very nicely done

I haven't had the opportunity to say it but it's a very spiffy feature and ultimately best for the community as you outlined in the other thread. Did you manually split up the pages?

finally complete! sorry for the wait everyone but it's finally done! apologies if i goofed up on the credits... this one went through quite a bit so i got a little confused when writing them up http://www.japan-leg...-_Gigantomakhia [guyver]28_-_Gigantomakhia[/guyver]
