So I did win an art auction lately, but not one from that seller whose bids tend to reach 40,000 yen or more.
I got this one for a more "bargain" price of 27,280 yen ($183.87) - which I think is fair given that it's unique art and not one frame of a sequence. Plus its one of the few The Devil Came arts I really like because of the facial expressions.
This was the only Sogna piece they offered at the time (along with a dozen or so other animation draqings, most of which were animes I didn't recognize) and they haven't posted more so I think it was a one-time seller.

I think i'm going to try and focus on getting this piece.

Talk about timing, but I checked right after my last post, and true enough, a new batch is on auction with about 4 days left! This is a pretty good batch if you ask me! One of them is an actual painted animation cel for Viper BTR!

Those posters are great JG, I'm jealous. I honestly would probably value those even more; literally because of the fact they are very rare but official Sogna merch.  And honestly, as much as I'd love to win and own one of these "original" pieces at auction that are constantly going up once a month, it just makes me ponder the authenticity of them even more. We know it comes from the same seller who we can confidently assume is a freelance work-for-hire artist, possibly the real deal and has been doing it for decades, at least to the point he knows how valuable Sogna stuff are.  I get it, there can be hundreds of slides per game, and he probably has done work for all of them, but so many promotional and cover art production pieces are being put up every month as well; there can't be many of those compared to animation slides. For all we know, this guy could be replicating the pieces and passing them off as original production pieces when he puts them up for auction. If he doesn't have any leftover stock of animation sheets, one can still buy cel sheets (more expensive now, but still available) and the animation paper that goes with them too, including the ACME style hole punched ones. So it can be a little sketch (pun intended) when bidding on these. But a lot of the pieces he puts up do have wear and tear marks over the years and really do look like the real deal, I probably just have sore loser auction syndrome  Oh well, I can't help it and will probably keep putting in bid attempts anyway

wanna add a animal female girl (wolf, jackel, fox, etc) just one, im not a furry but I dont THINK there was a animal base girl in the whole Viper storys.... correct me if im wrong.
M5 has bat-girl Meg and spider-woman Ryouko.
One of the stories in V-3 has the GTS girls cursed by the angels to replace their horns and tails with animal equivalents.
Additionally, one of the bad ends of GTB has Akira's DNA spliced with cow DNA to make her both more docile and increase her breast size, but she really doesn't look that much different so it doesn't fully count.
Thats nice but, think on like more animal looking. best example I can give is like.... the Starfox team or better point "Krystal".

Its gacha. Its a shortened form of gachapon, which means machine-vended capsule toy, typically inferring a random choice of toy from a generally fully-collectable set: but if you want the whole set you have to "play the game" multiple times. Baseball and trading card game sets are similar gachas (or were before box sets gave you the full set in one purchase.) Mario Kart Tour has a gacha mechanic to get new characters and karts. Its a popular mechanic for mobile games because you either get people to play an awful lot (and thus sell a lot of ad looks) or they fork over real world money to get the character or vehicle they really want. If you played Xenoblade Chronicles 2 it also has a gacha mechanic in which Blade character you get from each crystal, but no real world money way to forcefully get the ones you want. (Though NSO save state control can properly cheat the system.) Pokemon games are not gachas (though may have a gacha minigame) because there is no randomness in the selection despite having a collectible set.
I don't have a full story developed, just sort of mission ideas based on what they did in their game(s). For example, Akira's missions would be to go beat up bad guys in the underground caves or abord the alien spaceship. Raika would do infiltrate the criminal underworld and have some detective puzzle solving along the way. Cala would fight monsters in the country side. Would probably have to have some different goals int he "beat up bad guys" missions, such as one type being beating a big boss, another reaching a specific grunt enemy count to clear, and a third being able to defeat a certain number of baddies before time runs out.
I personally dont like them kida game specially mobiles, Think MasterEX is the same. O do play MasterEX and like it cus girls and u dont have to pay, thats like the part I hate paying. IF u dont pay then I think it could exist and getting point to get stuff is good just not like getting 1 point and u got to play like 100000 hourse to get something is a bad idea imo. I see the idea seems nice just like I said, I dont think I should work the OG characters but, if u all seem ok drawing them in my style I would have no issue. Even tho I have always think making original things is better. Personally now a days im in my SPACE phase again and still in my MAGIC//HERO phase (like Legend of Zelda, DQ, Ryza, etc) I mean.... in order for something to work a Idea needs to be develop..... What kinda thing u wanna add, I have no problem with also school stuff, School base anime even tho no longer in school are my fave anime still to this days, there fun storys. Also into horror, reason my OC are demons. Corps Party is also a great insperation cus its like schools story with horror even tho Corps Party is a little brutal of a story imo, I dont wanna kill off characters so dont think a horror story would be a idea u all like, unless u wanna see gore and body horrer even tho I dotn draw that stuff, not my thing. Do maybe a SPACE story/Adventure game is a fine idea imo do let me know what u all "want", this is mostly a project of what u want mostly. Also do wanna add one thing, wanna add a animal female girl (wolf, jackel, fox, etc) just one, im not a furry but I dont THINK there was a animal base girl in the whole Viper storys.... correct me if im wrong.

One thing I'd like to have seen if Sogna was still around is one of these all-stars gacha team combat games. You'd start with one character, and the more you play the more points you earn toward playing the gacha to earn additional characters. All the characters would be a bit different, such as Akira being close-range physical combat, Raika being a long-range pistoleer, Cala being part combat and part magic, Karin being entirely cheerleader support, etc. The better your team, the better missions you can undertake to earn more points toward better gacha results. Missions would be things like saving the town in Alitalia or infiltrating the alien spaceship. Donarghe monsters and other underlings would be your typical grunts, with major story bosses reprising role as mission bosses.
Sound intresting even tho tbr, never played a gotcha game. tho I have to like fine out new character and kinda a story, got ideas????
