Can we get all three? MGS, and both Akira's?

Yes, if everything goes smoothly. assuming the first one happens with enough people signed up, the second one should follow as well. MGS is guaranteed for sure.

 

[Dreweyes]

I'm fine with the Akira option. I don't really have the cash for it though.

Won't be for a bit actually, so don't worry about it for now =)

So uhhh... is this Akira/MGS commission thing something you could only get in on in the past?

No. details tomorrow. This was done specifically for neogaf. =)

 

[lupinko]

I sent an email out to people that ordered a MGS commission. If you did not receive an email and are a part of the commission please pm me. If you did receive one, please respond. Thanks.

Crap. Might be the email didn't send. Going to resend now.

Edit 2: OK. Resent. Hopefully it works this time.

I didn't get an email and I'm on the MGS list, I'd like Akira too.

ah, basically the MGS commission is still being worked on. It's taking longer than I had anticipated. To tide us over until the commission is done, I've arranged with ash to get his akira pieces done as screenprints for Neogaf and some 40 or so of these are also eligible to be purchased by EBers that took the plunge into the mystery commission thread I set up over there. More details on these later.

But basically, here is Neogaf Commission #3 and #4:

Kaneda Shotaro by ash thorp and Tetsuo Shima, also by ash thorp:

Thinking of selling them as a set. Not sure yet. Gotta get feedback from you guys in regards to that. I think the total run will be 110 or so. They're both 18"x24" 9 color screenprints printed on black paper.

 

[Hagi]

Holy shit those are amazing. How many of my organs do i have to sell to get the set?

 

[AwesomeSauce]

I too didn't get an email and I'm on the MGS list.

 

[IronRinn]

I received three emails and Mockingbird called me which was weird, since I've never given him my phone number. Then he revealed he was calling from a van parked in my driveway.

Frankly I'm more than a little creeped out.

I thought i was special, but his call was coming from my house.

 

[IronRinn]

Also, I only responded to one of the three emails so I'll just say here that I am in for the Akira, just in case.

 

[Sushigod7]

I'm so in for these responded to the email but wanted to say it again.....100 times yes yes yes.

 

[Kyou]

oh wow those akira prints are great

 

[Filthy Slug]

I'mma double respond on here, just in case, but fuck's yeah--those are badass and I'd like 'em.

 

[lupinko]

I don't know if we, FancyPoster-GAF have already decided but for a movie print we should either do Pulp Fiction and/or Blade Runner.

 

[LaserBuddha]

Oh god I must have those Akira prints.

Do I have to kill someone for Mockingbird? If I don't know em, that's cool.

 

[LaneDS]

Could someone post the un-colored the Ghost in the Shell Thorp print that Mockingbird's e-mail mentioned? Curious to see what that looks like.

[LaserBuddha]

Oh shit there is a cool GitS print being talked about that i don't know anything about either. *panic attack*

 

[Axiom]

Those Akira prints are just amazing.

Well done on those who went in!

 

[omgkitty]

I think Kaneda flipping the bird is the dumbest thing ever and it looks terrible.

Awesome, thanks!

I like the ghost in the shell one myself.

Do you have a thematic/characterization-related issue with or do you just think the art stinks?

 

[omgkitty]

I think the actual process of flipping the bird just looks stupid in general. Like it just looks weird, so I don't think it matters who drew it, I think it would look awkward and like shit. Also, don't think Kaneda would do that, but I haven't read the manga and am only going by the characterization of him from the film.

I don't believe he ever does that (I don't even know if that's a thing in Japan), but I could totally see that sort of thing within his character based on the manga.

In any case, I'd definitely opt for the set; but to be honest, I was hoping that the Tetsuo would go to print before the Kaneda if we had to make a choice.

I just sent you an email to be put down for this commission. The companion piece looks great as well. They would would look awesome hanging next to each other.

Wasn't Akira written in the 80s? That was when the US was at the height of popculture influence for the Japanese.

 

[Dreweyes]

Love all these posters... the Tetsuo one is a must buy.

 

[Sushigod7]

Doesn't seem that out of character its certainly not the dumbest thing I've ever seen.

 

[LaneDS]

I think both Akira prints are pretty rad and don't find Kaneda's at all out of character, if we're weighing in on this.

 

[ColonelSkills]

The Akira ain't my bag, so if someone wants to snag up a second as a gift for someone or something they can PM me and I'll let Mockingbird know who can take my slot.

 

[Mockingbird]

Sorry, still waiting on a revised quote for the printing cost of the akira pieces. For now, If you'd like a copy and didn't order a metal gear solid commission, just let me know via pm. I think they'll be sold as a set.

Wow that thread certainly took a turn I tend to stay off the forums over there lots of drama.

 

[Trasher]

Holy shit at the EB thread by Cels lol. I was honestly thinking it was going to be the Akira print.

 

[vitaminwateryum]

I think that's the point? It is a mystery print after all. They're going to be expecting some little girl anime movie and Kaneda is going to show up instead.

That's quite the elaborate ploy/troll if true lol. Why put yourself and others through that? Haha

Was definitely a juicy thread to read through haha. Funny thing is that someone in the beginning of that thread even mentioned looking over here at our thread.
