Artwork Created by X99
Fate Zero Created by MaGuS
Hey there, these are interesting intros, but the actual intro is not represented here. I am actually the one who created it (aka aeRo¹). My name is Brendan, and I was about 13 at the time. I worked on Fate Zero with MaGuS, since FuNGii had departed the AOL “proggie” scene prior to MaGuS beginning work on Fate Zero.
I did the intro, interface’s and “skins” for the prog, etc. These artworks are actually very similar to the actual intro (which I never liked, but MaGuS did), which can be found here: http://justinakapaste.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/tumblr_n0ckcnkULf1trn8dmo1_500.png
Thanks,
-Brendan
Hey man! Dont know if you’ll see this but I was in the proggie scene as a kid and was in LouD with MaGuS. Just wanted to say I thought your art was killer back in the day and you in many ways inspired me to become a graphic artist. Seeing your into splash for Fate Zero brought back a lot of memories, hope all is well!
Definitely saw it man.
Thanks for the kind words! I, to this day, despise that intro, visually, because it’s so far removed from my capabilities today obviously. But back then, people thought it was pretty nifty. I thought it was over-filtered, but that was MaGuS’ request: lots of lightning, “make it look like it’s EXPLODING” was the general direction lol.
I am incredibly honoured to hear that my work inspired you to create artwork yourself! That is the highest compliment you could possibly give an artist, in my opinion. Are you still designing/creating today? Always like seeing other artists’ work 🙂
Take care,
-Brendan
