A Gift of Art

[Santa Melty]

Yes indeed. Since most of the world that I keep track of seems to be celebrating today, I have put together a small gift of artwork for you all to look at. And before you go crawling back into the rest of the forums, let it be known that I didn’t draw any of it. Yes, that’s right, none of it.

For those a bit skeptical, I shall elaborate further. I have seen true evil, and been to the dark side and back in order to find all of you the highest quality fan art I possibly could. Yes, that is correct. I had to visit Japanese sites. *shutters*

Really, do you have ANY clue how much... inappropriate DASH material they have just floating about out there waiting for someone like me to slap over the head? With an axe? I have a couple of images that have seared themselves into my cortex...

... Well, you know, not HAVE, because I would never keep such images! No, not me. *pfft*

Anyway, I’ve scoured various search engines looking for these images, and now come bearing them as a gift. It may not seem like much, but it did take forever to find, believe me. I very much doubt that any of you have seen all of these, so they may be worth a look. And since I wasn’t the one who drew them, you don’t even need to sit through my commentary on each one. Isn’t that something? Of course, I needed to make many omissions to this small collection for reasons of taste, suitability, and variety. A lot of art out there is nearly the same thing, so I booted a bunch of them. Especially images of Roll. She seems to be very, very popular in Japan, because nearly all of the ones I’ve found were of Roll. To effect, I just took all of the images that caught my eye. It was at the discretion of my taste, so feel free to look up the sites I’ve found these images on if you want to take a gander at some of the things I may have excluded or missed, but it’s at your own risk. Tis a dangerous Internet out there, after all.

I know, I know. You all wish to see these images I have found. You may grovel at my feet now. Yes, grovel, for I am SANTA MLT.


... Ah, and on a final note, some of the art may contain partial nudity... nothing worst than anything Dash Myoku has put up here though, just so you have a point of reference. All the images should load, so if the link doesn't work, just copy the URL directly into the search bar. That should do it. Sorry for the inconvenience... server restrictions and all that.

Heh. I recognize a good chunk of those from places I've been - a good few from Japcom's site, too, I think(they have quite a big chunk of nifty art). Quite a good bunch of nice finds.

!ADVICE: Japanese sites can be hell to navigate, but the links are usually if not always in english - that's been my experience anyway.

...hotxorx Tron pics...

Wow, thanks Santa Emeltee! *smacks mltmlt over the head with a wooden sthingy* But you all have got to stop feeding my Tron fetish! Seriously! It's bad enough with Inclover's devART watched.

That Joe picture is really awesome, it might be my favorite in there.

...sthingy... You can't type the last part of s p o o n? I just noticed that.

[Anti-Jump Springs]

Haha, I like that second to last picture. "I am a villain".
Me: Y-y-yes you areeee.... *drool*

And the fifth one from the bottom is kinda... risque. Yeah, I like it. Why would you ask that? Do you think I'm a pervert? Maybe I am. That's sorta my business! OKAY, I ADMIT IT, I fantasize about Roll often. Is that such a crime? We're nearly the same age, and my fantasies aren't sexual... usually... wait why am I even bothering? We'll just pretend I never said anything after "risque". I'd wipe your memory but that's too expensive.

And I have to agree on the Joe picture. That is pretty cool.

This one I found the absolute cutest. Ever. My inner Tron fan is screaming in pure delight. <3

(More Tron, less Roll. Hop to it, pickle gnomes.)

[Santa Melty]

Odd thing. I actually fulfilled FG’s request for more art some time ago, but it wasn’t until just now that something in my mind clicked and told me that I’d have to post links before anyone could actually see them.

I searched out Tron art in particular, since you all love her so very much, and was surprised to find that there was a considerable chunk of art that I missed the first time around.

Most of them are Tron, anyway. Or at least, have Tron in them. Or are at least Tron-related in some manner. Though there was also this weird angel-bear-Roll cross that I couldn’t resist leaving out. And, as with the above, I am wavered of all liability if you happen to be offended by nudity and the like.

FEAST YOUR EYES. THOUGH NOT TOO MUCH, OR THEY SHALL GAIN WEIGHT. AND NOT THE WATER RETENTION KIND EITHER, GENTS.

Loving that Tron pic. That expression is priceless.

I hadn't seen mostly all of the stuff on your second list. Those are some cool finds! It must've taken quite a bit of patience to go rootin' around until you struck gold.

[Aim]

*massages Tron's hair faster*

Now, mltmlt. I thought we had a talk about this. No feeding my Tron fandom, unless you really want to. DO IT. FEED INPUT.

The people who draw these things have my gratitude. It's all so good. The expression on the next to last one is good, as GesselshaftGal said. All of the pics make me want to draw some healthy Tron fanart. The first one makes me want to draw some unhealthy fanart of Tron, most decidedly in a bikini. Grk.

Lucky servbots all. But thanks again.

[Santa Melty]

I’ll look for more later. I need to try using a few more search engines, as they all seem to give different results. DASH was always more popular in Japan; I’m sure there is much I’ve missed.

Specifically Tron. I am interested to see the response after a few more updates like this. o.o

*watches AimMan drool over Tron art*

Heck, who knows? Perhaps I’m just keeping all the good stuff to myself. *strokes chin*



Anyway, I meant to bring this up before, but has anyone besides Pitch taken a good look at the Japanese Capcom site? I became interested after reading that Pitch had seen some good art there and after that link was given in the newly coined “Mystery Guy” thread. After looking, I found that there was a literal mountain of great art there that I’ve never seen before, from concept art to official art that we have here, and even some screenshots of stuff they did while they were making the game, like gag poses with the character models. I’m surprised that no one has brought it up before.

So I shall. Most of you have probably seen this stuff at some point, but if you haven’t seen the Japanese Capcom site, go here.

If you can’t read Japanese, scroll down past those three images to the table of links. In the middle section, there are three hyperlinks. Follow links branching off of any of those three sections to come to art collections. The first two go to art collections anyway; the third link goes mostly to pictures of some modified character models, photographs of merchandise, and other stuff. Interesting to look at, but not so much so as the art. Much of the art is all done in different styles, but there are many there that are worth a good look at. There’s some funny stuff there as well, though I’ll leave all of that for you to look up for yourself.

Also, going back to the main page with the three images at the top and the table, in the third, bottommost section of the table, follow the second link and you’ll be taken to a page of links to small flash puzzles Capcom seems to be hosting. They are simple puzzles, where you move the blocks until it forms an image, but it looks interesting enough that someone might want to try it, if not just to see what kind of art you end with.

Thats awesome stuff

[Shift]

Heh, mlt, I was going to post that link, but ya' beat me to it.

Yes... beat... Not beet.
*shifty eyes*

Any-way, other than that site, I've got nothin'. So... I'll just.. sit here.... yeah.... T_T...

[glydemaster]

Very good web mlt, the only bad thing is that the web is in japanese, but that doesnt matter to me, thanks for the web Bro.

Janna!!
