The Genderbending of Haruhi Suzumiya [Spoilers Aplenty]

[Binjovi]

Hey, it happens. And the biggest problem with moving the "camera" is that all the angles and lines change in the entire picture.

Can't wait to see your characters by the way.

[Jintor]

Hahahaha... started out kind of alright... then I got bored and lapsed into my normal style.

I don't think I can draw anime anymore (Not that I really want to, but it'd be nice).

Spoiler for What have these hands wrought?!?:

She probably ended up in Haruhi's closed space by accident.

*thumbs up* Awesome work. o_o Please never leave here. Incidentally, can I steal - er, recruit you for a webcomic project?

That's why you have been brought back.

Spoiler for the image being larger this time.:

The subtleties really make a hell of a difference, especially with Itsuko's kitsune look. Nice work.

Spoiler:

High angle is high. Not sure if we have any use for the standing shot of the classroom.

Kyonko's chin is way too strong in most of those shots.

He volunteered for the VN first. We've got first dibs.

Haha. That's awesome though. I love it.

Interestingly enough, it was never intended to be the "kitsune" look in the first place, but that seemed to be the look people wanted to see, so I changed it.

That's right. I've got some other things I'm doing on top of this as well. Unless I'm getting paid handsomely to do it, I'd rather not take on much more at the current time.

The first impressions of the majority of the fanbase like to lump both of the Koizumis in this category. Your original version also works quite well, but people love taking character stereotypes as far as they can. Therefore it looks like the fox expression is to be required of us.

I am so glad you're helping us.

Only if we can have Robot Universe, Pirate Universe, Leprechaun Universe and Hippy Universe, as well

Hey, I never said you couldn't go for it anyway.

Now I'm wondering about the random side stories Tanigawa has yet to tell about Kyon's classmates.

Especially given that the description for Matsuhiro's interests sounds like yaoi bait.

Found it referenced on page 77, but the photobucket link had expired. But it did give a filename which led to finding it in a compilation rar.

Only for anime.

[Tyabann]

Geh.

Friends called at about 12:30 to tell me I had promised to be somewhere, which was incidentally about the time I woke up.

So I haven't been able to do anything all day and motivation is at zero right now.

Damn.

[Jintor]

Nuts.

Don't make me start trying to improvise! I'll get it wrong. And it will be ALL YOUR FAULT

Seriously though I want to start working on something when I get back from my four hour law block. Pleeeeease?

[Binjovi]

Would you get motivated if I started getting some more artwork done?

Shurrup. Also I left my laptop at my friend's place. Which sucks.

That would put me further into despair.

[Jintor]

Hurp durp. : |

What's on your laptop that is required? And what are you posting from now?

I don't JUST have the laptop, I have a PC too.


Fuck, I just can't get motivated to do this. Pisses me off. Nor can I really write and sound anything like Kyon.

[Binjovi]

Oh yeah, something popped into my head last night before going to sleep and I meant to ask about it sooner, but forgot: I understand the VN is supposed to take place during the month of September. That being the case, would everyone still be in their summer uniforms, or would they have switched already? I know that from June to the middle of July (The other stories are during summer break, so, aside from maybe Yuki, they aren't wearing their uniforms at all.) they're in summer garb. When do schools typically change anyway? Is it right on the month, or do they change on the official first day of summer/winter? I ask this because it means that potentially, I'll have to do two images for each character emotion for each of the uniforms (Not that that's terribly difficult to do, mind you.).

[Tyabann]

They're all in summer uniform throughout the entire story.
