Bubblegum Crisis Kickstarter goes live 10/25!

[Kame-Sen'nin]

According to Robert Woodhead's latest KS update email, the total with the Paypal donations got to over $160,000! Pretty impressive.

I keep forgetting to post about it here, but I actually contacted Mr. Woodhead about helping with the project, so I'm in the middle of editing a DVD full of settei scans that'll be part of the bonus material stuff! (I'm basically editing all the spots/scan marks off and making the pages look nice and clean.) The DVD he mailed me has over 300 scans, so...yeah. That'll be a decent gallery of settei when it's done.

Wow, that's awesome usamimi! I'm looking forward to seeing your work!

Great! That is so cool to be able to contribute like that!

[usamimi]

haha, thanks! It's nothing fancy, just making sure everything looks clean and nice.

Though I will admit, it was awfully tempting to start posting some of the nicer ones to my Tumblr...but I'm being good and not reposting them. Though to give you an idea, here's a screencap of part of my screen during the process:



(If you can guess whose butt that is, I will be kind of impressed, lol.)

This might sound like a dumb question, but are you going to get paid for this somehow, or is this more of a volunteer job?

At any rate, it's very cool that you'll have your name in the BD production credits somewhere.

I volunteered for it. ^^; I like doing stuff in Photoshop, plus the added bonus of getting all the raw scans before anyone else was kinda neat. It's more a labor of love, since I love the series and thought it'd be fun. I haven't asked if I'll be credited for it, but I will once I'm done...if I am on there, it'd be even cooler, heh. XD

Looks like Mr. Woodhead finally uploaded all of the BGC settei art I edited onto the wiki page they've been working on: http://www.animeigo.com/wiki/doku.php/crisis:bgc_settei

You need to make an account to view it, but that only takes a minute. Hope you guys enjoy it!

Some images had to have a LOT of clean-up, but I took it as a challenge! I'm pretty pleased with how they came out.

Wow, that is some serious cleanup. Good job!

Thanks Danth!
