[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 3815460, member: 22779"] There's a difference though. I'm not actually claiming anything. I'm asking those who claim the anime influence on 3e and 4e art to actually back up their claim. As to whether or not I personally like the art is irrelavent. I'm not claiming any sort of authority. I just want those who've for the past seven years or so, been flapping their gums, to actually show some evidence. Those who see the anime influence seem to take it for granted that it's somehow self evident. That somehow, everyone sees what they see. This thread, and many before, show that this isn't true. For years, the conversation has gone thus: 3e Anime Critic: Look at 3e art. It's so anime. Me: What specifically do you mean? Which art? 3e AC: Well, no one piece, just an overall feel... Me: Well, ok. When you say anime then, what are you referring to? Do you mean body proportions? 3e AC: No... body proportions are usually ok. Me: Do you mean face faults and "anime" ish facial features? 3e AC: No, you don't see that in the art. Me: Do you mean the compositions then? I mean, the action? 3e AC: Well, no. Most of that you can see in any Marvel or DC comic for the past twenty years. Me: So, what is it? 3e AC: It's the art! It's so obviously anime inspired! Me: *bangs head against wall repeatedly* About the only reasonable criticism in this thread has been weapon sizes. Then again, oversized weapons are hardly limited to anime. Marvel and DC have been guilty of this for years. As have lots of other artists like Vajello and Franzetta. Having a big freaking sword is cool, regardless of what your ethnic background apparently. :) [/QUOTE]
