Hey Ratiasu, do you have an MSN identity? Your profile just says "Your Conscious" which won't work out for an address. If you do have an identity and if you would like to chat with some LBT fans I would be one of the LBT fans who would like to chat with youOh! Sorry. I'll change it to the correct...um, address thing.
Lovely! Your drawings look really cool Ratiasu!Thank you, Malte. Unfortuently, my camera never quite takes the shots I want it too - everything is much more detailed and clear in my eye and it's all kind of blurred in the photos, which disappointed me. And with the pictures of the flying birds in them, those are just luck, because it's REALLY hard to get a bird in flight because most of the time they're flying really fast.
It sure is a great pleasure to have another artist with us.
I have taken a look at your other work at deviantart. Some of the photos you took are really beautiful too in showing neat little details of our environment which many might disregard as self-evident, thereby missing a lot of what's going on around them. You seem to have an eye for these details.
Funny that you mention the story Hornfels. For it is just a few days since a very good friend of mine (the first LBT fan I ever got to know) told me about it. The story is probably not by a German artist. At least the language in much of her other not-English work isn't German. I think it is Finish (that's at least what the artist's profile says).Oh. Finnish. Right. Heh, sorry, I just kind of guessed, but now that I look back there it does say she's Finnish.
I wonder if the Hornfels comic is finished or if there is more to come. Perhaps it is finished already.I hope there's more - I even asked her to draw more, but she hasn't replied yet. It could be over, though - most of her comics aren't that long, I don't think.
Sure is a sad and gloomy story; alas one which has often been repeated in history. The pictures are really awesome in transfering the mood of the story. Did you realize that the symbol which is carved into the forehead armour of the Ancylosaurs resembles a swastika?Yeah, it is a depressing story. I was amazed that the pictures were made using Microsoft Paint, and the coloring was fantastic, too. And, um, I don't know what a swastika is, so...
If it comes to LBT I don't think a real one to one copy of that character would be possible, but somebody similar mightI wasn't really suggesting that there be an exact replica of Hornfels in LBT - that would be a copyright violation.
As a matter of fact I have been thinking a lot about a story including a maimed character who has all reason to feel bitter about live and might even want it to be ended. While not an evil character that character could hardly be labeled good either. That grey zone is rather interesting but also rather tricky.If you ever get around to writing it, let me know. I don't like black and white characters - they're too...well, cut-through, if that's the right word for it. I prefer grey characters or characters we know hardly anything about, such as the Rainbowfaces.
I have a rather clear idea for that story in mind (made some drawings of some scenes too), but I'm afraid that it would turn out too dark for LBT. Generally I agree that there could be some mature elements, but I'm not really certain if these elements aren't there already, only we don't realize they areYes, there are some mature things in LBT, but they aren't really 'stated out loud,' if that makes any sense, which, in my opinion, is a bit brilliant and forces you to look deeper into the movie. But sometimes I like things to be blunt.
Take for example some of the views on the Mysterious Beyond we got in LBT 2 and 3. The landscape consisted to a good deal of the bones of dinosaurs. While this is relatively easy to overlook in a movie I'm sure it would come across as much more dramatic in a written storyAh, yes! That's a great example! I haven't watched the sequels for a very long time, so I kind of forgot those movies, but I do remember there being lots of bones when the group of five accidentally ventured into the Mysterious Beyond in #2 on a quest to retrieve the egg from Ozzy and Strut.
We even have an execution of sharpteeth who are burried alive while they are defenseless in LBT 6 (and I surely dislike that scene in LBT).LBT 6...that's the one with Doc, isn't it? If so, that does sound kind of gruesome. But then again, life isn't all flower and sunshine.
would like to see a character who fools the audience as well!That would be fantastic. I've only seen one character who managed to do that - Aaron from the 8th PokÈmon movie...only he was protrayed as being a coward and a of an antagonist for trapping his apprentice in the jewel of the staff he always carried around, when, in the end, it turns out that Aaron fled the castle to go to the Tree of the World's Beginning in order to stop the massive war going on, and if he hadn't captured his apprentice in the staff he would have followed Aaron anywhere, and Aaron couldn't allow that because in order to stop the war he would have to sacrifice himself. As Aaron said: "If a life must be traded for a pointless war...myself and only me...should be plenty. But I don't have any regrets. In the castle, with Leen-sama and you...I had a beautiful life. That itself is what living means."
It is difficult however to find good motives for an LBT villain, that is motives which lay outside the usual "circle of life" businessYeah, that's a big problem. But at least the dinosaurs don't want to take over the world.
I'm talking of a villain who seems to be nice and a friend but pursuits his or her viscious purposes all the time thereby making use of the trust others put into him or herThat would be interesting. Out of everything, I would like to hear more about all the different legends and myths the dinosaurs have (ex., the Lone Dinosaur, a Stone of Cold Fire). Maybe a couple saurians could misinterprete one of them and start causing a heck of a lot of problems? But then again that is a bit like Pterano, in a non-direct sense...
However, Pterano fooled Petrie and a few of his sibilings and nobody elseThere was that herd of dinosaurs in Grandpa's flashback that believed him about...well, whatever he was talking about, too. I have seen the Stone of Cold Fire movie in a long while, so I forget that part.
It is not really an evil act if a sharptooth hunts and kills to surviveI agree. But Sharpteeth are always a threat, nontheless.
Racism is a possible motive for a leafeater villain. This however excludes many dinosaurs from being impressed by this villain, unless this villain is extremely capable of hiding his reservations and hatred of other kinds (Racism is a latent motive of Pterano too).Ooo, that's a good one. But yeah, that's a good point, too...
for the moment I'll leave it at that and wait for more responses to this really interesting thread you opened RatiasuThanks Malte.
I'm talking about other people's RPGs. He screwed with mine behind the admin's back. Trust me, he's a power player. It's happened to me before.Usually when people powerplay I just ignore them. And I was aware you were talking about your role-play topic...sorry if I didn't make that clear.
YOu may think Threehorn is a good role player. But believe me, he is extremly selfish when he joins other people's RPGs. He swooped down and butchered my very first RPG to the point where it was unrecognizable, he changed the appearance of my character without my permission and he took over the story like Uwe Boll. I'm not the only person who's been attacked by Threehorn. F-14's Star Wars RPG was screwed by him as well.From what I've read so far (I'm currently on page 2 of the Sowarkard topic), I don't think Threehorn is a good role-player. Posts less than a paragraph in length are often the tell-tale sign of a newbie - in the site I usually role-play at, there's three, sometimes four paragraphs a post...or maybe I'm just saying that because I'm used to writing a lot in responce. I dunno.
It's the Rp right below this one If you want I can send you a Pm with a (brief) list of the characters involved...Nah. I think I'll manage without a list.
It's called "Sowarkard". Remember its a fantasy, so anything goes I warn you, it will take you awhile to read everything.. it's like reading a 300 page book...That's fine. I have the time.
Reality has set in But yeah, you can rp with one other person, in fact its really quite simple. It's a mmatter of give and take. The story we have made basically goes like this : I'm into magic and fantasy, He's into Star Trek and other Sci Fi. Sometimes the combination works, sometimes it doesn't.We try and set boundaries (No omnipotent creatures etc) but basically we just let our imiginations have free reign. What we do is play off each other, and my inbox is fill of pm where we have hashed out question about characteres in the RP. If you read from the beginning, you'll probably get lost as every now and then we bring back a character or subplot froim 20 pages previous... But It's worked well for nearly 300 pages, and we're already planning a sequel... So if you care to read it .. be sure to read all of it, or as much as you can. Skim if you want...I'd be delighted to read it.
Naturally rat.. ... and well... if we can get two more people to join, great.. If not.. I've done rolepalys with three people. In fact I have a rolepalying going with another poster(threehorn), and it just the two of us. The Rp has gone on for nearly 300 pages... :Holy cow! Really? That's surprising. Well, now that I've re-read what I've written, I've realized that I wrote that when I was really hyped up about role-playing it. But, well, now the hype is gone, so...um...
So we've got 3 so far. personally I don't go in for excessive blood and gore, So any violence I engage will be restrained. If violence serves the storyline then so be, But violence for violence's sake is poiontlesss imo...I didn't expect excessive blood and gore - just a little bit. And I understand about you being restrained and all. But granted, since we have prehistoric creatures of all shapes and sizes running around, there's bound to be a bit of carnage.
Ok. And one of the rules don't make any sense. Is there or is there not blood and gore allowed?Oh, I just saw that. Sorry, I wrote it while it was still pretty early in the morning. Fixed the spelling mistake.
Can I have a scientist in this RP?Yeah, they're acceptable...but I'm not quite sure what benefit(s) they'd have...
Alright: My Character's Name is Boris. Borus is around 6'3, has brown eyes and hair, and is a crack shot with a gun. Assignied by the government to evacuate the civilians, hee will find that is not an easy task.. and trying to get everyone out alive will take every bullet he;s got, and a lot of luck...What you have is okay so far.
( Brief intro, but I'll add more later)
Yep they certainly look accurate and are well done for having nothing to look from. I'll be awaiting the finished product.Yay! I do plan on drawing them with sharper lines and coloring them eventually, but I don't know how long that will take. I'm really bad a Photoshop.
Nice! You have a DA profile too? Here's mine. http://Raptoid.deviantart.com/Sweet! I'll go look at your art.
I don't know bout you, Ratiasu. But I think you have the longest topic in the welcome center.That's an affirmitive, for sure.
they look acurate. i am also writing a lbt i think i get bcak to work on it nowThanks for the input. I've kind of stopped on the LBT fanfiction because I have no idea where it's going.
(sorry this is late as i've was on vacation welcome Ratiasu)Whoot! Page four! In any case, thank you for welcome me, f-22.
