Re: Oberi's Colors
Slan can be any color the artist wants her to be. Who cares if she's not the author’s color? Do you read anything other than Bersek? Manga artist's colorful artwork CHANGES colors. Who knows why. Probably because it's artistic. It's creative. It doesn't matter what style an artist draws his fanart, or what story a fanfiction writer writes. The point is that the artist is having fun. That's all that matters.
And who are you guys to tell someone else what the rules of art are, when it's not YOUR art they are making fanart of. No one has the right to tell other people what to say, do, or how to make art.
I don't think its flamboyantly gay, but bright colors from the vanity of high class IS fact. You stated a random opinion as if it were a fact, without saying why. (Now, that’s a pointless post.)
Sure the artist said it looked 'flamboyantly gay' but being colorful is not a historical inaccuracy, especially when dealing with the bravado of fighters. People manufacture and buy colorful ornamental clothing.
If you are talking about this art piece in a historically accurate sense, then the wealthy, the powerful, and people who wanted to scare, or overawe their enemies would dress to match. Miura’s medieval artistic conception of European Middle-Ages was not necessarily wrong, but it’s too drab. (Even though you can’t tell because it’s black and white.)
Just look at the Roman royal color, purple. The most expensive color in that day and time.
Even today people dress like peacocks, look at hip-hop culture, and next time you're at Wall-mart take a look at those shiny black pants with bright yellow stripes and fancy logo over the butt you're thinking of buying. Pretty gay, huh? and everyone else looks that way too. "I've got the money, I've got the pants." that's how it is, and that's how it always was.
At the end of the day, the point I was trying to make in my first post was that the artist, Oberi, was too hard on himself, and I enjoyed looking at his art piece. I wanted to encourage him to finish the piece, the way HE wanted to. I didn’t color inside of the lines, or in fact, ever read the rules about what color the insides should be, and that’s what I’d like to encourage all artists to feel. No art is wrong or right, whether it’s based off of someone else’s art or not.
Do you know who the Vikings were?

What, research how flamboyantly gay this art peice is?

) But they are smart bastereds, and you can't really argue with them, or, you can but it's pointless. I know what you were trying to say about the historical accuracy though, I kinda already knew that, I was just being purposely hard on myself because I know the Berserk elites (Aaz,Walter,CnC,Proj etc) might tell me that the colors are wrong, "technically the Kushans wore this and that and blah blah". Thats all. Just letting everyone know that I KNOW the kushans didn't dress like this, it was a first attempt so I was just messing around, I still am too, I'm just more accurate to Miura's intentions. It is a fantasy, Miura's fantasy. Of course you can change the color of things and give some different perspectives, but like Aaz said, if you change the color of Schierke's hair...then it ceases being creative and becomes wrong! For some things (lot's of things) Miura has already commented on what color's they are, so anything different is inaccurate. So with a little hope, and maybe some magic, we can put this all behind us and move on in a positive direction.
