The same reason it’s ok to have the character going “HnnnGH!” loudly as they make a jump or climb a thing, and the enemy is easily close enough to hear them but they don’t. Or pulling up in a jeep about 100m away completely in the open and the enemy doesn’t spot you. The realism you’re talking about would make for a…

On that first Kill Bill poster, is it just me or does it look like he’s stuck Uma Thurman’s head on top of Bruce Lee’s body (with added boobs)?

I need to try and get through this game again. I got to one of the first encounters with the alien and ended up hiding in a locker too nervous to pick my moment and move forward. Turned it off thinking I’d get back to it and never did.

Those are some nice digs.

What, like the Match of the Day theme with your own lyrics?

“Why won’t you die, ya fucking bastard!
Just die, ya fucking twat!

Why won’t you die, ya fucking bastard!
Let’s staaab you in the back!”

Yeah, but is that because that’s how westerners interpret them? I wonder what your typical manga/anime character looks like to a Japanese viewer?

In my opinion, yes it would be more impressive. Looking at the process videos, it looks like he’s traced the photo first to make sure the features are accurate before moving onto rendering everything by eye. I think anyway (I like to draw, pretty decent at it).

Still really good work, plenty of great artists trace. I’m…

Doesn’t bother me, but some people might appreciate a NSFW warning for that expertly crafted meat and two veg up there...

Didn’t can’t get too far into the first one, can’t remember why, I think I may not have been a fan of the combat. I guess I could take it out for a spin again...

Alright! Time to spend waaaay too much time on the skip-rope mini-game on an entirely different platform!

“ According to good Japanese table manners, your chopsticks should not touch the inside of your mouth, such as your tongue or lips. “
Really? So what, you just pinch the food with your teeth, then remove the the chopsticks, leaving the food in your mouth? That may work for more solid, ‘blockier’ food, but what about…

Same. I’m doing the institute stuff at the moment, but the other night I realised I just don’t care anymore. Played some Rocket League instead.

Or full denim, for that matter.

This is awesome, it’s like the (British) kids tv show Knightmare, but for adults.

Oh God, I’d forgotten I’d read this. What a horrific and terrifying concept!

I’d go further and say so much is lost when they get to the face. I think it’s quite difficult to draw a likeness in an anime style, without abandoning the hallmarks of that style significantly.

I think it’s implied that the kids rush her and pull her down.

The dye seems to be in a heart shape as well. D’awwww.

This reminded me of Onimusha immediately. Possibly the closest you’re gonna get.
