Greetings, Adventurers.
While attempting to recover some files off of a discarded drive the other week, I came across a large cache of art and animation that I had been collecting from back in the 90's. It was a treat to discover it as I thought it had been lost, and as time went by had eventually forgotten I had it in the first place. I have decided to share some of it with you for a couple of different reasons. First, simply for the fun of it. Secondly, it happens to fall into the category of a preview. Sometime over the next week or two, we will be adding some new features and sections to the forum. I can not comment on what those additions will be at this time, but hope that you will find them to be entertaining.
To begin with, we will be hosting a Powerpuff Girls doujin. This will be the first in a series of doujinshi, sprite, and original graphic novels and comics that we will feature. They will be posted in increments, and updated on a weekly basis. Our current plans are to post new works and chapters on every Sunday, but we will see how that goes after it gets started. Any work posted here is either by permission of the artist, common domain, or listed as free to distribute. Full credits and links (where still available) will accompany every work. You are free to look the various artists up on your own if you would like, or you can just kick back and allow us to present the works in serial form, along with a little commentary and extras.
For those that are not familiar with the terms, a couple of definitions.
Doujinshi, or doujin:
Dōjinshi (同人誌?, often transliterated as doujinshi)literally means a group of people with the same interests, but in modern terminology is the Japanese term for self-published works, usually magazines, manga or novels. Dōjinshi are often the work of amateurs, though some professional artists participate as a way to publish material outside the regular industry. In America, the term is used almost exclusive to Japanese influenced creations in the comic industry. At heart, a doujin could best be described as a form of parody.
Sprite Comic:
Sprite comics are webcomics that use computer sprites, often taken from video games for significant portions of their artwork.
There are also animated sprite comics where each strip is a separate mini-movie, animated using technologies such as Flash.
Sprite comics frequently use characters from well-known games such as Sonic, Super Mario Bros. , Final Fantasy, Mortal Kombat, Metroid, The Legend of Zelda, Pokémon, Mega Man, and Dragon Ball. Some sprite comics use sprites from several different games.
In addition to or instead of video game sprites, some comics use original sprites created specifically for the comic.
Sprite comics have become very popular in large part due to the ease of creating a sprite comic, since minimal artistic skill is required.
Sprites can easily be ripped from game ROMs using an emulator, or by using sprites from websites that collect sprites for public use.
Comics can then be created using a simple image editor.
Video game sprites are often designed to be animated, and thus often provide a wide variety of character poses, as well as being easily editable due to their simple design.
Sprite comics also give the author the opportunity to parody the game from which the sprites are derived using the game's actual characters.
