cool, I have no idea what Imessage stickers are lol They're sort of like Emojis but bigger, can be animated, and can optionally be placed directly on top of text or photos. I see... now i'm wondering if you could do a thing where a rift opens up and the message comes out...may not be an Imessage bu...

Here's the big announcement regarding the project!

Apollo Okamura

For limited time, I'll be taking pre-order character sketch commissions for those that will be attending the Palladium Open House that you can pick up at the event! (I'll be there the Saturday 21 and Sunday 22) For $20 US you can get an 8.5"x11" pencil sketch, or this year I'll also be doi...

Apollo Okamura

Eight years later... Finally drew this thing!

Apollo Okamura

Can't say just yet,
But I can say that 10 are mentioned in the thread and 5 aren't

Apollo Okamura

Much thanks for the replies!
I think I've got my 15, now all I have to do is start drawing!

Mack wrote:Most iconic?

I'd go with the Glitter Boy (heck, the game was almost named "Boomers" instead of Rifts).
Followed by Ley Line Walkers.

YUP! Those were my first 2 picks as well!!

Apollo Okamura

I'm working on a little project of my own, and I'm wondering what you all might pick as the most visually iconic OCC/RCCs that help define the Rifts setting.
Hoping to get at least 15!

Will be there!!

Apollo Okamura

I hear ya. It isn't so much of a gag order, rather than it pretty much comes down to Palladium can still do whatever they want internally with Rifts, but outside of that, Disney has control of everything else media-related regarding the license (including Youtube and any yet-to-be-developed media). ...

Apollo Okamura

Well... *ahem*... I actually tried to pursue one such loop... "option" a few years ago, almost worked too, but unfortunately the risk-to-cost ratio was too high. That being said, there's very little wiggle room when it comes to Disney's license - their legal department likes to keep things...

Apollo Okamura

And that, respectfully, is my point, with all due respect to Apollo. That to suggest that Disney has spent "a lot to hold onto this" really is a subjective statement. To the House of Mouse, any monetary figure under 8 digits is a simple rounding error in the accounting. Millions of dollar...

Apollo Okamura

Disney just announced ALL of its movies for the next 4 years:

http://thechive.com/2015/10/31/disney-j ... h3gcl:pbjx

No Rifts

Apollo Okamura

Honestly, it's hard to say... On the one hand, Disney is still holding onto the Rifts media license with an iron fist, having spent lots of money over the years to do so. So making the movie at some point would be in their best interests. On the other hand, with the crazy amount of Avengers and Star...

Yeah, missed you guys too.

Always glad I can help, Mike!

Apollo Okamura

Looks like I didn't check this part of the forum until too late. Have you stopped doing commissions? Unfortunately, for now... Guess the idea was that Open House attendees could've gotten requests in advance, and I'd have them ready for the event (no shipping required). Alas, I wasn't able to get e...

Apollo Okamura

Very sorry. How many did you get? Was really hoping to meet you. I don't know if it'd be good form for me to say an exact number; but at 25%, let's just say, it wouldn't have been enough to even cover the cost of gasoline. So yeah, pretty bummed. I think this is the third Open House I've missed.

Apollo Okamura

Prysus wrote:Greetings and Salutations. I'd order one right now, but somehow don't think one more will tip the balance.

Thanks Prysus,

If only... Was able to only get about 25% of what my minimum would've been.
Ah well... I tried.

Apollo Okamura

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get enough sketch commissions to cover the costs for the Palladium Open House.
Huge thanks to everyone that requested a sketch!
I'll be mailing out all current commissions.

Hope everyone there has a blast!!

FOR PALLADIUM OPEN HOUSE ATTENDEES ONLY! Having dealt with spinal injuries over the past year has left monetary funds rather lacking... So, for a limited time, I'm opening up character sketch commissions for those that will be attending the Palladium Open House! For $20 (US), have an 8.5" x 11...

Apollo Okamura

I'm sorry, who was that, that drew the under arm Boom Gun? Oh and did you finish that Blind Warrior Woman in the dungeon drawing? Just teasing I know you have better things to do. No prob. I believe the picture you're referring to was drawn by Freddie Williams II in Rift Chaos Earth . I think I've ...

Apollo Okamura

Actually, I do draw the cannon (no pun intended) over the arm, since the description says, "The weapon is attached to the back and right shoulder of the armor. When not in use, the gun is flipped back and stored in an upward position . When needed for combat, the GB's operator simply reaches ba...

Nyomnyomnyom!!!

Apollo Okamura

Thanks for the compliments all! I did a brief look-up of the Catskills and mostly saw pics of skiing, huge waterfalls, and colourful autumn trees. None of which really worked for the layout, so I tried to come up with something that I hoped captured the same feel of the area. So, while I never heard...

Apollo Okamura

What would be even sweeter is if they made Cyclones full-scale and operational!!

Apollo Okamura

That's the confirmed cover!!

As for whether the AJACS can fly... I haven't the slightest idea!

Apollo Okamura

Mmmm.... Baked goods! Yummmm!!!

Apollo Okamura

Did you see the latest CGI movie? I loved it. Oh yeah. But again, I really liked the stuff that was more down to earth rather than the super epic cosmic warrior thing (even though they looked really cool). Seeing Raph and Leo go at it, gave me chills. The new TMNT is neat. The Utroms have come to E...

Apollo Okamura

I have to admit, I only got to see the first season of the newer TMNT cartoon series (bad, bad TMNT fan), but it seemed really well done, with some nice story telling. Although I did also hear that it later started to go down hill after that, or maybe they were just refering to the whole Fast Forwar...

Apollo Okamura

If Palladium actually revisited the TMNT RPG, no force in the universe could stop me from drawing for that book. I'd just want to draw the Turtles, mind you, someone else could draw the other mutant animals. Art-wise, you would have to have Peter Laird, and Jim Lawson on board ( and me too ), just b...

Apollo Okamura

No more beans for Ariel...

Apollo Okamura

Oh that, hehe... Well that's the way she flew in the movie - glowing fartiness and all. At least I gave her clothes (she's white naked with glowy plasma(?) when she flies)... Glowing white character on white paper wouldn't work so well.

And no fair, you got the book before me. LOL

Her telepathy is limmited to her Invid

she also aparently has the ability to levitate while Farting lighti-er-plasma, but that may just be Apollo being Apollo. . . (Just kidding!)

Whatever it is, I didn't do it!

Apollo Okamura

Heh heh, guess I just got busted! We do fully plan on doing the Special Edition, but at the moment there are no gaurentees. As long as sales from the first Robotech RPG book go well and there's enough of a demand for a Special Edition, we're definitely doing it. Just incase, I've already made sure I...

Kagashi, You missed the second part to that quote: Although, the full-size collector's edition would go very well beside the "Art of..." book. Mind you, the text size in the smaller format book should be no smaller than the smallest Palladium text has used in the past. I realise there's be...

Apollo Okamura

I hope they do a print of it. At the moment, I might not be able to sell prints of the cover (or any prints of my art, for that matter), due to the license being owned by Harmony Gold. Kevin's going to be inquiring about it this week. If I get the go ahead I'll be more than happy to make them avail...

Hey DhAkael, Yeah, we've hit a couple snags along the way, but this is it! Just to reassure you (and any others that may be worried about the book's shipping date), the book, in all it's shadowy protoculture goodness IS going straight to the printers Friday, Feb 8th! Wish I could say that this is ju...

Apollo Okamura

While it might be against my better judgement to reply to this thread, here's hoping I might shed a little light on the subject, and hopefully even calm a few people down. Both Palladium and Harmony Gold wanted Shadow Chronicles to come out in time for Christmas, especially to coincide with the rele...

I guess my only question now is this: Are the women being depicted going to all look the same from the neck down - or are you going to make them a bit better proportioned? (IE: Fix the biggest gripe) Erm... I'm not exactly sure what you're referring to. I can only speak for myself though, but I'm d...

Apollo Okamura

Oh, and to answer the OP's original question: Originally, I was slated to do most of the art for the book, with a few reprints and Shadow Chronicle's production art included as well; but, as most of you have already heard, I've started a new career in September, and there's no way I'd have been able...

Her body is technically still in black and white, but that hasn't stopped some early requests for a life-sized picture!

Apollo Okamura

Okay, so still no preview for the cover, but here's another small art sample for Shadow Chronicles. Mind you, I coloured this pic of Maia just for fun, but it'll be black & white when it hits print - that, and she'll have the rest of her body as well.

Maia colour sneak peak

Enjoy!
