You know, I wanna help too. I'm only good at drawing, though, and I know a lot about designing .If I can help with anything, just let me know.
Also, I was thinking... If we are going to make remixes, it would be good to pick one song from each game we choose and then we'd judge it alltogether.
Thats awesome Amiga. As far as the artists are concerned, we will need an album cover, and an art booklet. Would be a neat excuse for a contest. The winners piece can be the cover, and if ya lose, your art will still go in the booklet.
One Septette for a Dead Princess, one Satori Maiden ~ 3rd Eye
That sounds interesting, but I dont quite understand. Can ya elaborate a bit?
Seems to me like the "theme" is the work of the Atelier people. I dunno, I don't think a theme is necessary.

So all the art we need is cover art ? I'd like to give a try (my coloring is like shit though :/)

i think we got enough artists by now, but we still need musicians.
Never enough artists~
You're supposed to start three weeks ago.
But seriously, you can just start doing whatever. That's what the musicians are doing, anyway.
100% contributing to this as a chiptune musician.
Kanako dammit! All i've done is to sketch my ideas. Well, all I need to do is draw...then ink...then paint...This is going to take me a while xD (Anyway, I draw in 15 minutes or less, I ink fast enough, the only thing that takes my whole time is the painting -.-)
I was thinking something
I think it's important
What's gonna be our album's name? :3c
Also ideas ideas gimmie ideas D:
Um...Alice's art/music grimoire? The maiden's musical kaleidoscope? xDxDxD
But, what should we actually draw ?
Mmmm ... Hundred flowers of the West ? /kanjinewb
But, what should we actually draw ?
Mix a few characters together with instrumentsisuxatdat :|
Maidens of the Atelier?
Music of the Kaleidoscope?
Kay, so where do we submit our stuff ?

Glad to see your motivated Anun~ I had hoped youd join =p
That reminds me amigos, Just start sendin your finished work to me as they come along. Once we have all we think we'l need, we can do the voting via PMs.Voting via ... PMs ???
Just curious, is tyvb in this too ?
Voting via ... PMs ???
Do I have a deadline ?
So uh, when is the next Comiket again? :3Effectively New Year's.
(yeah I don't pay much attention to a lot of stuff)
Wait, wait, just ta clarify; what music'll get included? Just Touhou arranges? Touhou original themes? Anything? :V
would be easier to figure out a theme if it was a specific genre being arranged. for various artists one would have to make a cover with everything on it
or maybe that's what we need...
Also, if you seriously lack musicians, I can try to mix together some MIDI-based songs, mixing together Final Fantasy with Touhou. Any objections or recommendations, because Ihave no originality of my own whatsoeverwant to make this a sort of "What the people want" mix.
Now we just need PT8 >=D
we need to figure a doujin group name too. How about "Alice's Art Atelier"?
we need to figure a doujin group name too. How about "Alice's Art Atelier"?Yeah, that's good.
hakureiSM:Doodles of the people? I think it's best if we stick to Touhou characters, it's not like the Japanese we hope will be buying it will get our personal OCs.
draw doodles of the participating people for the booklet.
that's what i'd suggest.
Well I sure could try to submit something here
I'll be a judge allright :3Now now, judging one's own work is an important part of being an artist/musician altogether.
Oh, an important thing to note, although obvious, is that one can't judge one's personal work
Before Comiket.
And thats...? (December?)
Yeah I thought of him, but he already has his own circle and all the exporting and everything to take care of. :/And that's why we should deal with that right now. Nobody wants to make a load of music and art just to find out nobody is there to distribute them :/
And that's why we should deal with that right now. Nobody wants to make a load of music and art just to find out nobody is there to distribute them :/
i'd like to notify that for those who have no time to make new stuff for this project they can always put their existing songs on it!Ooh, I'll try completing my set of Touhou fanfares and put'em here then xD
and of course, if you got good recording equipment, you can make acoustic arranges too.
FIRE IT UP, I SAY!!
LET OUR PASSIONS RUN WILD!!
XD
Also for the most part, the musicians have been using the IRC channel #Atelier-Magna, but if we need it we can make the threads.Will definitely help, especially people with indefinite online access schedule who couldn't see you in #Atelier-Magna everytime he signs in :<
Hey, I had an idea for the name of the album.0A0
How about "Music compilation of the ones who spirited away" Or something like that xD ...God, my ideas are useless...
so who do i pm/what email do i send my songs to?
Just noting, since I didn't see this mentioned anywhere here: As should be common knowledge, you can't just walk into Comiket and set up a booth. You have to apply, and there's deadlines for that. If you wanna get there, you'd better look into the formalities soon so as to not miss aynthing crucial.
EDIT: Actually, Drake made a post before implying this very point, but it seems it was ignored.
EDIT 2: In fact, it might be most reasonable if you would, for example, ask N-Forza nicely whether he can sell the album at his circle's booth or something instead of planning to get an own booth. Just throwing that in as a thought ;)
As should be common knowledge, you can't just walk into Comiket and set up a booth.We are aware. But before thinking of appliances and deadlines we first need someone in Japan so.
I'm not the one who handles what my circle sells. That's Talka's gig. I wouldn't mind doing it, so long as the quality is sufficient, but how were you planning on covering the cost of printing the CDs?
I can discuss it with Talka, and maybe we can come to some agreement. We weren't planning on selling New Hori-ZUN 3 anyway, so this could possibly take its place.
I love this post.
Quality.
I... could try music composition if it's okay. I've done ambient and classical before, though my classical may not very appropriate for this project. Is something more contemporary but less accessible permitted? e.g in this style (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJe7Vuc-oQA)
And would there be a split; like an electronics disc and a classical/acoustic disc in the album?
Eh... Autumn o.O? Well at any rate, couldn't hurt to try~ That actually sounds like a great idea as far as splittin the CD up. Depends on how many songs we get before the end though I guess. From what I can see im the only one who has any instrumental songs up xD Oh and squidy added one.
Also id like to add that I love classical music and would be EXTREMELY happy if you produced something in that genre~
I think it's best we not give a damn about style yet, especially considering this community has so many different ones, both in art and music(especially music), and wait till we have all our material to sort and select.
I'm working on my stuff and practicing before actually submitting final pieces.Awesome, finally some artwork! Can't wait to see it :3
There's also that 'doing actual art study' I mentioned in IRC.
I want stuff to become of quality first, y'know :fail:
<HakureiReimu> christ, you musicians are doing so much stuff I'm feeling ashamed for not contributing shit yet
<Squidtentacle> Don't worry about it.
<Squidtentacle> Just perfect whatever you're doing and then submit it.
<HakureiReimu> I'm not *doing*anything
<HakureiReimu> like I said, I'd rather practice a hell lot first
Which size should the cover be ? ???
I appreciate ya tryin Mary~ Nah I dont think the characters matter much =p
I'm interested on doing the album cover. However, my coloring and graphics skills are not that great.
You have to try for the sake of Gensokyo!!! xD
We are not profesionals here. Everybody has different styles. Just give it a try. My coloring skills are the worst, and still I'm trying ;)!!
F) The aim is to demonstrate the skill of those in the Atelier to people outside MotK. Our hope is, of course, to get enough profit to make up the $500, and also to give publicity to our various artists.That makes me wonder: Wouldn't it be more reasonable for that goal to promote the album within western communities and sell it on western conventions?
Then again, we're also going to get money back from selling it regardless; so if we did something like 'you get your money back after the albums are sold', i wouldn't seem like that big of a deal...?
A thousand bucks is quite a lot :V
If you want to listen to it I guess I can hand over the midi

百花西方 - 三千外人の労働 much better titleThis is a perfect title.
that is, "Toil of Three-thousand Gaijins"
百花西方 - 三千外人の労働 much better title
that is, "Toil of Three-thousand Gaijins"
For a moment, I thought I read "Troll of Three-thousand Gaijins".
Also, I agree, it's a very appropriate title.
I kind of find the 百花西方 a bit ambient. :D
But what's with the 100 Western Flowers (百花西方)? And I don't get the number 3000, is that some kind of symbolism?
Or is it just my bad translation?
Just curious. :P
well...i had in my PC some songs...if you wanted them. Look them and if you like it...but well, im not a expert and nothing of all, only done this ones for fun. And are very old...
i do today a draw for the thing. How can be who give songs and no even a little art?
...but that belongs in the other thread :<
DAMNIT
GUYS
Only one week till the deadline ?
I need to scrap the last pic and do another one, but I'm afraid I won't finish in time D:
As much as I'd love to see a PV of my arrange, choosing any single track for a PV wouldn't be very representative for the album as a whole.Who said anything about your PV? Also even with all the different song styles created here, I don't see why a chosen song to represent the circle wouldn't work. And the main goal of a PV is not to *represent* an album, but to promote it (hence Promotional Video), as in, to make it known.
Guess the most fair option would be a slideshow kind of thing with all the submitted artwork and short, crossfaded samples of every song (with the latter being somewhat of a standard for doujin albums anyway).
The whole point of this project was to unite the artists here, who, unlike the folks over there in PSL, aren't close and organized at all.
Any chance to extend the deadline? Seeing as many (or, I'm assuming many) people have in progress works created especially for this, and the date's pretty flexible anyways?Exactly, I see no problem with a deadline extension. With the great number of individual submissions, the judges (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,7019.msg429235.html#msg429235) could start judging those right away. And since this probably won't be done in just a day or two, the deadline gets extended until the judging is finished, and the judges just pick up new tracks/artworks when they are submitted.
On that note, I'm about to start a piano arrange (cause a recorded piano piece would be the only decent thing I can create), but my camera quality sucks; anybody willing to play for it, if the time comes?Does this mean we would get sheet music (although I'd much prefer a MIDI file)? Meh, I'm not that good in performing, but since I have a pretty good digital piano/keyboard here, I could try.
Wait what's the current deadline? I forgot about this and it might motivate me to actually put out some music.
@NL Here's a sample of what I'm trying (and failing to) compose. Can you play it (somewhat well)?*facepalm* I did want to include something along the lines of "but please no Septette" in my last post, but then I thought "well, what's the likelihood of him bringing up this particular song, just makes me seem unnecessarily picky".
Your camera quality is excellent, BTW.That's because it's no camera, but the direct audio signal recorded via a cheap Line In cable. It does induce a tiny layer of noise though, but nothing too critical.
I guess we could push the deadline a bit, maybe to the 11th or 12th.
Yesterday.Please stop confusing everyone and just either define a new date (and, very important, an exact time, complete with UTC time zone) and update it everywhere or just let the judges take over this project.
(06:42:31) Autumn: I asked Lloyd and Flame and they dont anything about it
(06:42:59) Autumn: And the whole thing seems like a trainwreck right now since theres no organization and the people volunteering are confused >.>
Please stop confusing everyone and just either define a new date (and, very important, an exact time, complete with UTC time zone) and update it everywhere or just let the judges take over this project.
Also, if college was such a huge delay for you that you couldn't show up here (which I don't believe, since you were happily posting in other boards), why didn't you appoint a new project manager for the meantime (which, you know, should have been exactly your responsibility in this position)?
But instead, we now have this situation where nobody seems to know anything (what to do, when to finish and what exactly we are going to do after this, now that the Comiket booth plan did fail)...
Is that clear enough?Yup, that's much better :) So you're the one in charge of the download website.
There was also talk of making a PV to garner more interest, but we don't seem to have anyone who could do that.
(19:57:16) Squidtentacle: I'd say you can go ahead and post it, NamelessThere's your permission to post this.
(19:58:59) CAsercan3: but post it!
(19:59:11) CAsercan3: if a miracle happens, it might actually work
But the art in that video must be the art included in the album lol, so I think it's best if we wait until the deadline to make it?After thinking about this for a little while and talking with the others in the channel, it seems that we have enough pictures which can be used for the songs in the individual artist threads, so unless people desperately want to draw something new for this, don't care about it now. Also, I'm sure to include
I don't like the idea of putting a bunch of art in the PV and it not showing up in the final thing. It's like lying to a customer.
Heheh I guess all these years of art class making me draw scenery will finally help me!Sure, that makes it more lively. I'd recommend positioning them more on the left/right edges instead of the center. This way, they won't get obscured by the gameplay scene or the additional picture.
But I have a question. If I wanna draw, as an example, Misty lake, can I put some fairies in it?
Heheh I guess all these years of art class making me draw scenery will finally help me!teeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaachmeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhhh
teeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaachmeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhhhThere is nothing to teach, actually. Practice, practice, and practice!
Oh man somehow I completely missed out on this!
It's too late for me to contribute a song (and since it's live instruments I have no idea how good it'd sound when recorded anyway) but maybe the "real thing" or next time or what not, still a big confused with what's going on even after reading the thread.
Wait, there isn't a deadline for [art] submissions anymore, or has it just been pushed back?
I might have one more picture to contribute.
Ranting and raving*Facepalm
I'm temporary back :3
*Facepalm
Well, looks like organization's been taken care of heh.
I think we need more time too.I agree with you.
We're all new and really lacking in experience in this, and we could use the extra months to come up with something of greater quality.
Honeslty, if we rushed and released it now, I believe it just wouldn't work.
