Here's a gift for all the 'nauts out there and to those who are working hard on that english translation, I'm doing a series of Policenauts fanart JUST FOR YOU GUYS.
You can check out my series here: http://spoonybardess.deviantart.com/

So far I have drawn Jonathan, Meryl, and Tony and I'm currently working on Dave.

Hope you guys enjoy it!

Oh, and we totally need a Policenauts fanart thread.

Now if only we could gather some volunteers! :D I would love to see MORE Policenauts fanart, since it's so rare...which is sad.

Love your art of Random and Tony. You've got a real talent going on there.

I'm sure if I did a fan artwork for Policenauts, I'd make a real fuck up of it. I may give it a go just for a laugh, later. :lol:

Dave is the best. I have no idea why, but he's my favorite character in the game.

I don't know why either lol.
Time to bring the ol' pencil out of retirement, I guess.

Gimme some chips,
Gimme some beer,
Time to make
A Crush-Zombie appear.

Does anybody know a good way for a Photoshop-challenged guy like me to take this:

Image

And make it such that Jonathan's sitting in the turbocycle like this:

Image

What I'd ultimately like is an animated GIF of Gillian in the turbocycle - with a couple frames flashing to Ingram in the seat instead. Like maybe it goes dark a couple times as if he's going through a tunnel, and then suddenly Jonathan's sitting there instead.

I flipped the Jonathan picture and he looks roughly the same dimensions as GIllian. The problem is that he's looking in a different direction and he seems more queasy than determined. Is this a worthwhile job, or do you think I'd have to mangle the Jonathan picture to get it working?

To me it looks close, in terms of pose, but Jonathan's angle is too far off to get it right.

First of all, this is an awesome idea but it does seem rather complicated. I'm not very photoshop savvy myself, maybe you can manipulate the image of Gillian by adding Jonathan's hair style, coloring, and his clothing. You can go about it by cropping and placing the images on top of Gillian (I'm sure there's angles of Jonathan you can work with throughout the game), or you can draw them, I dunno. Sorry for not being much of a help :/

Edit: Okay, here's what I whipped up:
Jonathan in the turbocycle?!
Jonathan in the turbocycle?!
I just drew over Gillian and used the color sampler tool to extract the colors used on Jonathan's face, hair, and clothing. I didn't add his badge, or the logo on his jacket, I know :(
I would've made it into a gif, like you said, but I'm afraid that my gif making skills...kinda suck. Hopefully this helped!

Very good, fellow spoony!

Now we only need to make Jonathan change into Riggs and we are set.

Thanks, man!

And Gillian turning into Deckard?! That gives me an awesome idea...

As for Jonathan turning into Riggs... (Oh gawd...I just had to)

What people don't realize is that life isn't to be taken too seriously. Just relax and enjoy it.

I like you when you're silly, as I myself prefer to be silly all the time.

And now I have to go to my work that pays $2.5 per hour. Life is such a bitch sometimes.

:wink:

Or, you're just being silly and I'm taking it too seriously. Maybe I just heed my own advice.

I'm always silly, and I like it when other people are silly :D
Well, at least you have a job. I'm currently UNEMPLOYED, due to being laid-off and all that jazz, but I'm going to enjoy this prolonged vacation by fixin' up the (kinda new, but old) new house, and doing nothing at all.

Gah. I really need to go back to school...

Oh I have to show you guys something:
Jonathan Ingram Pillow?!
Jonathan Ingram Pillow?!
A friend secretly made me this for my b-day. A Jonathan pillow?! How awesome (and weird LOLOLOLOL) is that?!

WUT?! Why I would never...
...HAHAHAHAHAHA!

At first I thought he was making me a plush but when I finally saw it...boy, was THAT a surprise.
"Now you can sleep with Jonathan whenever you want!"
What the hell? Seriously. But I'll admit that this Jonathan pillow is alot more awesome than my Yugioh one.
Maybe I should ask him to make me a Tony one? Talkin' about having some awesome pillow fights!
