Doing fan-made android-app, looking for artists!

Hi everybody!

As the topic says, a friend of mine and me are going to do an Android app related to Megaman.EXE, and I wish to do it with REO community.

In short, it's a package wich includes ringtones from the game and, more important, wich have in the background your favourite navi from EXE, including Cross Fusions, Souls and so on, plus the "Access" animated icon in the foreground, acting as navi selector Smile

In order to get the project running, we need somebody able to draw the characters exactly like the anime.

some simple rules:

Drawings must be 800*480 px landscape or above but with the same proportions, characters must be portraited in "american shot" like in this picture and progress PET background must be used.

The whole app will show a thank to REO in the credits, plus special thanks to everybody who activelly contributed to the project.

Anyone willing to partecipate, please PM me for contacts and/or details.

Updates will be posted here.

-UPDATE 03/07/2010
Project dead. Will continue alone.

-UPDATE 28/06/2010
Added the artwork list;
anime-identical drawing is no more mandatory, but suggested.
best drawings will be used.

- UPDATE 26/06/2010
We'll have just one image as background, navis should be portraited in background-less transparent PNG or, even better, in SVG, which allows better quality and easy resizing.
However, other formats are welcome, I'll SVG them if needed. ^_^

Oh yes. Lucky I actually have an android phone. I'm always using the old or minority hardware that doesn't get supported!

I would like to help if I can. I might be able to extract some backgrounds and characters from the anime.

really?

that would be cool, I'll convert them to SVG for better quality ^_^

I'll write it in the updates

ok, guys, for who wants to partecipate, here's the TODO list concerning the artwork part;

If anybody gives me a good image, his name will be put at the side Wink

About the Navi Crests put aside, don't worry, I'll SVG them by myself from the sprites Wink

Please be patient, I did this list in one shot, if any navi style is missing, PM it to me, so that I can insert it right :-3

that's sad...
one week and just one reply... Crying or Very sad

any admin, please lock down the topic Sad

Saito-kun, if you find the background, may you let me know? that would be great anyway Neutral

I'll try to do the navis by myself and I'll post the finished app, if it'll be finished.

Anyone willing to cooperate, let me know

bye

Lock down the topic? Why? O_o

It didn't help that you posted a list the size of Siberia. Laughing

I'll try to see what I can do about backgrounds in the next few days. Remind me if I forget because I'm gonna be busy. Smile

(Probably starting a new job)

Question: Do you have the rights from Capcom? No sense doing any work if it'll just wind up Foxed.

answer: does puku the rights from Capcom for doing your subs?

What i was going to do is a FAN work, exactly like puku's one.
I wasn't going to make any money with it.

Moreover, I just wanted to shake this community a little bit;
for what I've read, and as your avatar demonstrates, your only purpose has been just to be as more sarcastic as possible toward other people's work.

Another thing I've noticed is that your recurrent phrase is "get a life" but I think that if you feel the urge to analyse every user's post looking for any clue leading you to such an answer, the one who needs a life it's you.

Do you feel proud to dig a topic declared by the author itself as DEAD without ever lending a hand?

Do you feel good with yourself thinking about how many dreams you shattered?

I hope you so...

If you're not going to help, nor saying something I don't ask nice, but at least useful, SHUT UP!

My apologies for missing the last few posts. Guess my browser ate them. That said, it was a sincere question.

The thing with most fansubs is that they fly under the radar. Many fansub projects do unfortunately get cease and desist notices, especially if they're subbing in a language that the show was licensed for. Simply being fan-based doesn't constitute fair use.

Given it's an Android app you were hoping to do, you'd have the option to try to keep a low profile and make users sideload it. Putting it on the marketplace, however, would be a surefire way to get shot down.

For future reference's sake, these are things you absolutely need to consider if you intend to build a project on some other party's IP. I never said it's an impossible task, and I never intended to put you down. By all means, you cannot just run blindly into a project. Broken dreams? Really? You know what's worse than deciding a project is more trouble than it's worth? Investing time and effort into a project only to have it torn down by a pack of lawyers.
