IKD red sticker looks legit too.SuperPang wrote:That's a bit different. All the IKD ones I've seen look similar to mine. Must be legit though because if you were going to fake it, you'd copy the others, right?

Re: Items you can't afford on Yahoo Japan Auctions
there are a few inconsistencies between yours and that one on YAJ the weirdest bit for me is the structural lines on the IKD and balance of forms are all off comparatively which i would imagine being super consistent and balanced from my (very limited) knowledge of chinese/japanese ink brushwork (you can see how nice they are in yours), though this could be due to restrictions of space and non-practice of english forms with a brush, though how sharp that d turns and badly placed the I and K are within the negative space is really putting me off (in the YAJ one).SuperPang wrote:That's a bit different. All the IKD ones I've seen look similar to mine. Must be legit though because if you were going to fake it, you'd copy the others, right?
also the one on YAJ to my eye appears to have been done in a more serene environ or at least is more considered/restrictive in the brushwork in comparison to yours joe which doesn't really mean anything by itself. the saturation of the brush/ink is also super consistent with no perepctable change in the characters in the one of YAJ, on joes you can see a difference in saturation of ink between the 2nd and 3rd characters, but the brush does look as if it could be the same used in both given the width and weight of line in both, an angled image would be more telling as you could better see how saturated the lines are. what i was told under personal instruction by Zhao Boaping (head teacher of Luxun Academy in China) was that any image should contain all forms of mark that a brush can make (wet/dry, solid/splayed etc) as it creates a balance of form and weight that is reflective of a balance in nature that all ink work images (for Chinese anyway relating to Taoist philosophy) should try to retain from a traditionalist standpoint, though this concept may not be fully applicable in the context of a signature but it depends on the individual creating the work/signature i imagine.
i would say that it possible it is one that was created beforehand rather than done live for a purchase. if there are more images out there ill have a look and see if there are any other visual markers that don't seem right or show consistencies.

Re: Items you can't afford on Yahoo Japan Auctions
death is good, i imagine is a take on blissful death and not a pun regarding suicide mechanics as this was for the vanilla release(?) so not in reference to YGW
tank, if i had to make conjecture would be in reference to the military theme and theres only the ddp and ketsui that fully embrace that that in caves library. the stoicism and solidity in the style of writing/brushwork also makes more sense rather than the comparative extroversion in pangs (they are both expressive just in opposing means), and may also give credence to it being a warm-up piece; wtf do we put on this to show were doing signature boxes, i dunno theres tanks in the game, yeah okay then...

I guess the original print numbers for this game are low.

Re: Items you can't afford on Yahoo Japan Auctions
I stupidly sold my original US and JPN mint AES of this one...for peanuts. It was to fund a new CAVE PCB release at the time.

Would be nice of them to list a DoDonpachi Campaign PCB out of the blue.
Unless Shou has access to that particular PCB already.
The pcb is different so you couldn't just rom swap it and on top the only owner I know about will literally take it to the grave not allowing the rom to go public. Maybe after he dies it will get released.
