Description
Done for a Madman Art Competition from March 2010. You had to take a video game and illustrate it as though it was an Anime series.*****
In-depth original characters, gripping storylines and interesting changes of scenery make the whole Jak and Daxter games a wonderful trilogy that I think would make for a great anime/animated series. If it were to be an anime, Bones would be a suitable choice to animate it because of their clean style, nice backgrounds and their ability to make vehicles, weapons and robots look more realistic. I think I'd prefer an American cartoon version of it though
Just as a forewarning to anyone who thinks I might be 'cheating', despite how perfectly flawless that title may look, I've actually re-drawn it, not copied and pasted it
And oh god it look a long time

I remember this competition well, although I find it hard that it was almost a year and a half ago 
Awesome work on this, Bijoux. I love the setup of the poster and characters' "anime" designs. They all look fantastic, although I gotta say...... Samos is ma fav

I remember it pretty well too...the horror! 
Thanks, Corad! I'm glad you like it. Yeah, Samos has got it goin' on...

Well you certainly could've fooled me with the title, but I know that you'd never just copy and paste. That's the sort of goofy shortcut I'd try. And fail at. Because short cuts like that never work
I think I'm inclined to agree with you about it being better as an American type of cartoon, though when you think about it, it has the sort of storyline that anime loves to use. (Single overpowered character off to save the world...?)
You did a great job with the characters! Except I have to say, every time I look at Maia I find that she looks far too manly...
But other than that it looks really good!
Very nice job, Bijoux!

I can't help feel lazy if I cut and paste something
Yeah, definitely better if the US did it, but I bet some anime company WOULD like to get their hands on it, if they knew it existed... You're right, Jak is definitely their type of guy
Thanks GreyJedi, glad you think so 
Thank you

That's cause it IS lazy. Dunno why you've got the bag-o-shame emote there, since the fact that you don't copy and paste is a good thing
Jak definitely is anime hero material. In fact I remember once, a few years ago, coming across a Jak and Daxter manga...
You could practice drawing females wearing sneakers! That'd kill two birds with one stone!
You're most welcome!

It's there because I'm sure I've done the lazier option in the past
You found a Jak and Daxter manga? It was fanmade, I assume? That'd be an interesting read, let me know if you stumble across it again

YOU? Take the lazier option? Surely not!
I did, though now that I think about it, I'm not entirely sure that it WAS fanmade, I mean, I've read 'official' Legend of Zelda manga... I'll be sure to let you know if I ever manage to find it again.
I haven't actually heard anything about High Impact making a sequel, but from what I've heard the ending was open enough to certainly allow for it. (What do you mean haven't I beat it yet?? Of course I haven't! I SUCK at games!) Looks like they've have at least partial control of the Ratchet and Clank franchise now too...
I'd like to say that the Uncharted games are good enough that Naughty Dog could've made a name for themselves without having created Jak, but I don't know whether or not Uncharted would just get lost in the shuffle otherwise. 
Hooray for better than anticipated sneakers!

Isn't Legend of Zelda Japanese though? It seems strange to me that Naughty Dog would call for or produce a manga for Jak...then again I suppose they could 
That is true, the ending for Lost Frontier was VERY open. They hinted that Jak and friends would be going deeper into the Brink or something. Figured they'd have a sequel out by now though...
I'm sure you're not that bad at games
I've never played Uncharted (isn't it on PS3???). Naughty Dog still would've needed to get their experience from somewhere though, i.e. Jak and Crash Bandicoot...
The sneakers are even more spankin' now they're coloured. I'm rather proud of them

Yes...I suppose Zelda is Japanese. Strange, that thought had never occurred to me before to be honest. 
You really would think that there'd be a sequel or some hints of one by now, but then again, how far apart were all of the original Jak games? At least a couple years, right?
I know! But what I find more baffling about Isomniac selling off their Ratchet rights is that they're still making games with him. Or at least they've got a Ratchet game for the PS3 out...
Yes, the Uncharted games are for PS3, but we've got one of those, so I've been able to play them. If (when? 
Ooh. I can't wait to see your 'spankin' sneakers! 8D
