Birth By Sleep Collection and Jevangod's Cover?

[Throavium]

Anyone notice extreme similarities between the two?

It's...the same! But not as good...

[Mariolee]

Well that's because jevangod copied the basic art, the real cover which wasn't the cover yet, and heavily edited it. If anything, BBS's cover doesn't look like jevan's, better jevan's looks like BBS's.

Are you saying the official copied Jevangod's design, or the other way around? Because...

[7sk]

I don't know, either way, their skewing is awful.

[Throavium]

I'm not stating either.

[sd1833]

Well... then why'd you post this? =/

[Throavium]

I posted it because I found it interesting, how similar they are, and wanted to see if anything could gather some tangible facts or interesting speculations about the situation.

There are a finite number of images created for any game that have the potential to be box art/posters/magazine covers. There's bound to be some overlap.

For instance--my InFamous cover I made about a year ago was almost identical to the official, which I hadn't seen before.

But this is just a coincidence.

I don't see no similarities whatsoever!
Every game has a specific amount of renders/wallpapers, it is almost impossible not to duplicate.

good morning - that's nothing new. amazon, vgplus, etc... they all are using fanmade packages till the oficial one is released

edit: just checked the links and there are almost no similarities. click first, post later, I know...

I think the official art looks better. (No offense, Jevangod) It's not so over-saturated and it just looks much cleaner.

As for them "ripping off Jevangod", well, it's already been said.

Jevangod's is overly crowded and Mickey and Old-Guy make it look significantly more awkwardly composed.

The only issue here is that Jevangod used the official image for his cover, with some editing here and there (Added characters, stars instead of keyblades) and it just so happens that they used said artwork for the official cover.

Anyone who says they don't see similarities is clearly blind, as they're the exact same images, just with minor differences.

I like the official better, but I like the stars on Jevangod's better than the keyblades on the official.

I do also want to say that "An ocean and sky of keyblades" is an incredibly accurate means of portraying the series. Wasn't it supposed to be a rare and legendary item at one point? Now every character has a dozen at any given time.

It's like the retarded fans have taken over the canon.

Basically. It was supposed to be a one game series. But when they expanded it into multiple games they had to ditch some ideas or "facts" revealed in the first game. But there was a war long before the series that made the keyblade rare. In the present day of the series only six people are known to be actual weilders of the keyblade (Sora, Riku, Mickey, Terra(Xehanort), Aqua, and Ven). Kiari might be able to we just don't know.

About the similarities it just happens to be a time that both the official and fan used similar art. It is the official not a placeholder, its the collector' edition for europe.

I had no idea that was even official. I saw it on a japanese magazine cover and rendered the characters out and everything. I had no idea they were going to make that the official cover. But nice to hear your opinions.
