Jin Roh...
1 week 2 days ago
Hey folks,

I just watched Jin Roh. So yeah .. I'm behind the time - everyone knows that :P.

I'm not gonna spoil the anime to you, because it's a lot more interesting to watch it yourself. Figure out who's the wolf and who's the little red riding hood.

Just that my emotions were overflowing when I was watching the movie. I'd expect just something average because of the setting and well.. the story. It's not new at all and (besides the suites) quite similar with human history.
However .. the conflicts arising and the feelings you think the characters have ... are simply amazing. There are scenes where the characters talk VERY little even though there was a lot to say and to ask. But they stay silent :(... which is good though: the German dub isn't bad, but it's not good either (average at best).

What I can and actually will tell you that this story is based on the little red riding hood story, which was first written down by the Brothers Grimm. HOWEVER!: the story they wrote is the children-friendly one. Jin Roh uses the more authentic one - what exactly and how.. this is what you should figure out on your own.

Since you still read, I've got a big request: if you have some more scans of Jin Roh, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE upload them here or send them to me directly :D. I'd "buy" them here too though.
What this (or these) scan(s) should contain, is: the second girl (not the one at the very beginning), the guy (unmasked!). The scan showing the girl running "away" (to the front with the face facing towards the back) would be amazing too - I want to make a wallpaper out of this.

"Make a vector" you say? Well: even though the quality of the source (the movie I've got) is quite good I don't believe it's decent enough (at the scenes I'd like to pick for the vector). Besides: by vectoring I often lose quality - because you stay absolutely true to the 3 colors you chose. It'd be better to shade it, but unfortunately it's TOO much work for me right now.
I've got 2 major projects going on (one is a reconstruction/extension of a scan and the other one is a highly-detailed vector trace out of a screenshot of a game) as well as some programming projects (webshop website and a project I'm not talking about just yet :P) so I'm too busy. If you would like to help me here (I have the screen and could send it, it's HDTV, but 720p I think) and at least create the vector, please send me a message :). I'd gladly accept this. Of course if it's just the vector of the girl, I'd credit you for your hard work on her!

Thanks for reading!

About Me

I decided to rewrite my biography since I seem to use animepaper more often again and can't really stand what I've written before. Anyway.. I am 24 by now and still like anime, programming, music (a huge lot of it) and other things. I started using Adobe Photoshop 3.05 in 1996 - almost 12 years ago. I still don't know everything that program can do, but I think I am a good average user :). As to Illustrator - I started very late with the version 12 and am now using CS3 Suite. My profession is programming in perl, java and many other scripting and non-scripting languages (html, css, js, lingo, actionscript). But due to the fact that I do this at work, I've got no time for the same things in my non-work time. I prefer to use the time for graphics, anime and - yes - music. My music interests change quite often - therefore I got a huge lot of songs. Currently (november 2008) I am (still) listening to Touhou music and from time to time to other music (I've Girls, Crows'Claw, Subway to Sally, Within Temptation). Check my last.fm profile if you want to know more :). You are always welcome to leave a comment and I'll be sure to write you back as soon as I find time. Till then, thanks for reading.

Thank you very much for your constructive comment on my wall! I'm flattered that you followed it in SZ, even if you didn't have input then :) I understand what you're saying about the grungy texture, actually! I thought about toning it down, but decided that the original scan contained enough that it wouldn't detract from the paper. If enough people share similar opinion I'll likely upload a revision with the grunge toned down.

I'll keep in mind your advice for my next and future walls as well! Thank you again!

I think I'm a bit scared of quoting your last comment because it's...well, so long, lol.

Ahh, I'm sorry about your work...well, I guess that's the way things work out nowadays - suck-ups get promoted while good people are considered stupid nowadays...It's such an unfair world...

Ohh, you're originally from Ukraine? That's cool. And haha, don't worry about identity crisis - sometimes I have a feeling I don't belong to this planet, let alone a single country. It feels weird sometimes to be so different in thought patterns and opinions from the vast majority of people around me. I often feel misunderstood...but I guess I already got used to that, so... *shrugs*

Thanks for the language praise! Lol, I often think more in foreign languages than in my own...I guess I simply have a knack for them. :3

Cultural Studies is about a lot of things and nothing in particular at the same time, haha. We learn about a lot of things - cultural anthropology, history, sociology, religions, identities and cultures...basically about everything that has to do with the word 'culture' and what it entails.

When I'm finished with it, I can work in a lot of fields that have to do with museums, libraries, publishing and stuff like that.

Lol, long message from me this time. XD

Yay for your reply :D. Your supposedly rusty German is pretty good and not rusty at all. Where are you from? :O and why I'm on the questioning part :D : what are you studying? I'm in bad mood at the moment :X... just got my "average" mark today. It's unfair, but I think I can't do anything about that :/. Really no motivation to become even better ... probably staying average for now .. well whatever :DD don't want to bother you ^^; hope you're well and awaiting your new wall ^^; cya.


Lol, thank you. That really means a lot. XD I'm from Croatia. You?

And yeah, I'm currently in my final year of studying Cultural Studies. It's fun and interesting but also demanding sometimes. :3

Ahh, when you say 'average' - do you mean your walls? D:

And you're not bothering me. XD

>_> tue ich doch so schon.. jedes Mal am Morgen XD wenn ich in den Spiegel sehe... nein mal im Ernst - du kannst deswegen eh nichts machen (außer plastische Chirurgie und das würd\\\' ich nicht empfehlen). Jeder hat seine eigenen Dinge.


Ugh, das würde Ich niemals tun...aber wirklich niemals...außerdem mag Ich mich so wie Ich bin...Menschen sind manchmal wirklich blöd - sie verstehen nicht dass sie eigentlich perfekt sind so wie sie sind, auch mit ihrem guten und schlecten Seiten. :)

Ugh, this took so much out of me, lol. But it\'s good practice, though. XD

Hehe, I like Black Lagoon and Revy is one kick ass character anyway. XD

I also live alone in a bachelor flat since my Uni is in another city so I constantly live between my Uni and my hometown. :3

Your Vampire Knight wallpaper really seems rather off the manga than the anime (btw. I don't like manga and I'm not reading it). Well the anime might have been good for the heck of art style. But I wonder why it became so .. messy >_>... I mean .. I just lost interest to follow the plot (it's not like I didn't get it), because it a) became very clichee and one could almost predict what will happen and b) wasn't fully released back when I was following it.. and I can't stand cliffhangers T_T;; Anyway.. no need to thank me for a great wallpaper :D. Anytime again :P. Besides.. *looks at your profile* Ein wenig mehr Selbstbewustsein! :D dS.


Haha, danke sehr...aber Ich fürchte mein Gesicht ist ein bisschen zu schrecklich für andere Leute...du wurdest weg rennen. XD

I hope I wrote that well. My German's gotten a bit rusty since I'm not using it that often. XD

Ugh, yeah, VK's gotten so cliche and stupid...I didn't even bother with the anime because they usually butcher the series with different plots and endings...not that the VK manga is any better now... >__>

Haha, you're not the only one who dropped VK; I dropped it too once it became way too weird for my taste (and my OTP lost. D:)

Thank you for the feedback on my wall! :)

Nice wallpaper. I beg you to add the proper resolution (1920x1080 or x1200) to it - since the actual resolution of the wall that I can click is 1280x800, which is small.

Nice shading, nice highlights and shadows. Also a nice background (the furniture doesn't have enough details, especially around the couch on the right - the bottom of it looks very unnatural imo).
Overall it's a good wallpaper.. wouldn't want to judge whether it's worth being highlighted or not.. I've seen many walls that deserved it and didn't get to.. so I don't know.

But this wallpaper certainly is worth a full-view -that much I can tell!
dS.


Thanks heaps for the nice comment ^^ on my PH wall Trick or treat
