Description The Strength of Blood: Wu, Shu and Wei.

For family, honour and conquest; for the unification of China.


So this is all three of my drawings for the three main factions from "Dynasty Warriors 6" in a sort of sideways triptych.

I was thinking it would look pretty cool to have all three lined up as I found that the impact is sorta lost when looking at all three seperately. Heh this is kind of like when movies are released seperately then re-released as a box set and everyone gets annoyed

Shouldn't Cao Ren be with Wei too seeing he's Cao Cao's cousin?

Yeah you're right, I have been considering redrawing these actually with Cao Ren and possibly Cao Hong or Dian Wei in the Wei one

Back when I drew these I knew less about the actual history around the period then I do now and in the games the Xiahou's always seem to be the characters most prominently associated with Cao Cao in cut scenes and dialogue and such.

Now I think of it where Cao Pi he's Cao Cao's son and he served his father for sometime?

This game made me so angry! they made all the girls use a whip or a bow or something else dumb -3- I liked sun shan xiang's chakram though I did grow to love Zhang Liao and his badass dual axes (he's just a bad ass in general )

I agree, hopefully they fix it in DW7, if that ever gets made! Yeah Zhang Liao's axes are pretty sweet, Sun Jian's sword is awesome as well I thought.

Great work! The coloring is really beautiful (Zhang He would say that too XD) Liu Bei without a little beard? O.O Strange... . I like him more in the DW5 Empire Style XD But oh well... . It's totally cool! ^_^

seeing as i dont think i commented on any of the pictures individually, cos im lazy (i may be mistaken on this, not the lazy part, the comment one) i shall take this moment to do an overall comment on the three of them (see box sets are cool, buy multiple things for the price of..... well multiple things) but yea good work as always

No you didn't you lazy excuse for a person, good work!
Yes I suppose box sets are cool. Do y'know what I find stupid though? The box set for the anime Fafner only comes with vol 1 and its like $50 and you have to buy the other 6 discs seperately! WLF?!?LLAMA

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

wheelydude13 In reply to GraphiteFalcon [2008-06-18 08:43:21 +0000 UTC]

lemme guess the vol 1 comes with the highly specialised cardboard box used to store all other dvd sets and was crafted by a magic cardboard anime dvd housing fairy that dictates it must charge an extra 20 bucks for the box? lol

i was looking at witchblade vol 1 the other day, the dvd by itself 20 bucks, for the one with the highly-specialised-box-suitable-for-housing-all-other-volumes it was 40

ah ya gotta love retail pricing

GraphiteFalcon In reply to wheelydude13 [2008-06-18 09:26:10 +0000 UTC]

Yes highly specialised anti-anti-armour titanium aloy plated cardboard to be exact. Soo anime producers have their own army of fairies do they? That expains alot...

What is this injustice?!?

Well since games are 50 bucks in the states and 120 bucks here, I don't gotta love reatil pricing!

wheelydude13 In reply to GraphiteFalcon [2008-06-19 06:05:10 +0000 UTC]

of course, there the uber magic fairy's that provide the costumes to all the female characters in the anime (why do you think they are always not wearing much, its because fairies are quite small in comparison to your average human and as such their average wardrobe doesnt cover much of the average female anime character (who always seems to have an incredibly large bust for a 12 year old girl))

and yes anti-anti-armour titanium alloy plated cardboard is pretty much spot on, it also contains various mixtures of an unknown substance which causes you to still buy these boxes regardless of the mortgage you have to take out to pay for it.

and yea sarcasm in other comment i fucking hate over priced bullshit, considering the aussie dollar is about 95c to 1 US dollar, you may as well buy the games overseas, and pay the extra 10 bucks postage, still cost you about half of the the price it would to buy it in stores here

GraphiteFalcon In reply to wheelydude13 [2008-06-21 07:19:41 +0000 UTC]

Yes it is all becoming clear now! Makes so much sense.

Sell your soul to the Sith to afford an empty box and one DVD...seems fair

Heh don't worry I got the sarcasm, NO-ONE likes retail pricing. It doesn't make any sense does it?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

wheelydude13 In reply to GraphiteFalcon [2008-06-21 10:45:21 +0000 UTC]

Yes, yes it makes perfect sense

and it is a great deal, just think, you could watch that 1 dvd, and store random useful things in the cardboard box (like the rest of the dvds once they are released over the next year and cost more than a gold plated house that also doubles as a private jet)

And yea retail pricing makes absolutely zero sense, the sheer complexity of it likens Neon Genesis to a 5 page childrens book made up of 90% pictures and 3 words a page

I like box sets... the box set of Indiana Jones has three pictures of Harrison Ford on the cover, as opposed to just one... always a bonus....
Your drawings are great, as always, but I'm thinking I'm not enitrely sure I like this Dynasty Warriors 6 thing... it seems to be rather sexist...

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

GraphiteFalcon In reply to loopy-lexy [2008-06-18 05:52:18 +0000 UTC]

Yeah box sets are cool, but sometimes it seems a little bit "capitalising on the market"-like.
Thanks Hmm it does seem a little sexist. Like out of 48 characters only 10-ish are girls and every game they wear less and less. But at least in Dynasty Warriors they're allowed to fight on the front line, which wouldn't have happened in ancient China, or even nowadays!

lol yeah, and a little useless. i mean, fact is, once they bring out the box set of, say, harry potter, i've obviously already bought all the books. i'll just make a damn box for them myself.
yeah, like here, we have one girl. oh well, she's got breasts the size of about 3 normal girls so maybe they're counting it that way?
