Maiku said:Man it looks badass. The seller happens to be a friend of a friend that I've met personally. Very reliable...........don't know why I'm linking this when I may bid on it
Aazealh said:Well it looks nice, but it's not from Miura, just from a random guy so I'm not sure that it's worth anything like $450 (the Buy it Now price), and what about it being the original? I bet there's not a whole lot of copies running around anyway. ::)
Also, is it really legal to sell Berserk related merchandise like that?
Maiku said:As long as it isn't mass produced it is legal. It is just like Headlong making kits and selling them.
EndLeSS8 said:guys like HEADLONG get temporary liscences to sell their kits at WonderFest. After that, I don't think think HEADLONG is allowed to sell them, because of AOW's liscence on BERSERK.
Maiku said:As far as the price who can really put a value on something like that. The artist probably put alot of time into it..............and Aaz it seems like you think everything is too expensive
DarkDragoon said:Unless it has any Berserk logos on it, I don't see how it could be illegal.. since Zodd could pass as any demon. He's certainly not the most original looking monster. It could just be a picture of Satan for all anyone else knows.
I bid a dollar.Walter said:
I'll be selling copies of this jpeg to the highest bidder. Its just some guys i drew.
Nice retort to Aazealh's post 8) Got you cornered, eh?DarkDragoon said:I bid a dollar.
Aazealh said:On a side note, he's also advertising that this is the original picture, but doesn't specify that it's an amateur's work, not actual official stuff. That's not exactly cool to me since it might confuse inattentive or careless people. I'm not saying it's intentional either.
Aazealh said:Sorry but no.
Maiku said:It has happened with our licenses and our licensors never have problems when we see people selling stuff like this on ebay.
I had already said what I wanted to say.. there was nothing left.Walter said:Nice retort to Aazealh's post 8) Got you cornered, eh?
Zelz said:Of course if he painted it himself isnt it more like fanart?
TheSkyTraveller said:Yeah, they should be more precise in their listing. I also think it's weird that they don't even give the name of the person who painted this thing.
TheSkyTraveller said:It seems like copyright law in Japan isn't as strict as it is here, and that in the case of fanart, it's overlooked because a lot of manga talent comes from the doujinshi scene. Can anyone shed some light on that for me?
TheSkyTraveller said:Legal or not (not ;D ) they're asking a really steep price for that thing, and in my opinon, it's not that great. Zodd's face looks funny.
Lithrael said:Sorry but Aaz is right.
Maiku said:ANYWAY. Cool painting overall even if it isn't perfect. (hair around the Jaw doesn't seem right)
Aculeus said:Hi all. I noticed the message about the Berserk painting on ebay and I just wanted to address some of your concerns. Not only am I new to skullknight.net, I am also new to selling art on ebay.
Aculeus said:I didn't include certain bits of info (like who the artist is-me) because honestly, I didn't think anyone would care unless it was an official Berserk artist...which I am not.
Aculeus said:I realise the buy it now price is steep, but that's just my "pie in the sky" price. I don't expect to get that for the painting. Since there is no reserve, the painting could go for as low as the opening bid.
Aculeus said:Also, by using the term "original", I only meant that this is not a reproduction or a print. A lot of people sell prints on ebay and I didn't want there to be any confusion.
Aculeus said:I do a lot of personal stuff of my own characters, but as a fan of many different series', I love paying homage to characters that inspire me.
