Picked up her first appearance in Heavy Metal magazine at a gas station in '86. She was just the perfect thing an adolescent boy needed to be exposed to.
Hey I was stationed in Germany in '86, trust me that issue of Heavy Metal got passed around the barracks a lot. It was more popular than the tattered copies of Penthouse and Hustler we had stashed in a certain PFC's footlocker lol.Picked up her first appearance in Heavy Metal magazine at a gas station in '86.

Hell, if Anyone's entitled,Sorry for going out of topic people (shame on me ^^ )... I'm just a big fan of Druuna. ^^

I got hooked after watching a bad and censored copy of the movie on a Betamax tape... and fell in love with Taarna..Picked up her first appearance in Heavy Metal magazine at a gas station in '86. She was just the perfect thing an adolescent boy needed to be exposed to.
Thank you that link. Good stuff!Actually...
We have exchanged enough with Zorlun to think he will not be offended, I don't know about your reaction, but here I come playing "smartass":-D
You are both at light years of distance from reality, Serpieri is Italian, and the design of Druuna has less than zero to do with "native American", whether with that is meant one of the tribes of North American, Indians from Amazonia, pre-Colombian central America populations... Although apparently she was very popular in USA (did not know, honestly).
The inspiration for Druuna came from a volouptous (that, yes) unknown Italian woman taking a swim naked (which most probably means illegally, hush hush![]()
, I don't think at that time there would have been a nudist beach in Ostia, which is close to Rome), and Valérie Kaprisky, a French actress (so much that I remember a V4 character which was Druuna but also Valérie Kaprisky), though at the same time, if I remember correctly, Valérie Kaprisky was beautiful but was less curvy than Druuna. (Edit, just checked again, and I remembered well, definitively attractive, but way less curvy than Druuna)
One thing that can console both of you, is a reference to temperament like the Brazilian, but honestly, I suspect Serpieri was a bit biased by stereotypes in Italy, otherwise he would have known there are also other countries were women can be quite warm in a certain type of contexts;-).
Here you have it from Serpieri himself, no need to believe meYou must be registered to see the links
i always liked Paolo Serpieri stories and art work because he was not afraid to put anything on page from Mutant Futa SS solders to space horror and post post apocalyptic settings.Sorry for going out of topic people (shame on me ^^ )... I'm just a big fan of Druuna. ^^
IKR?? It's like you're speaking a foreign language that Google can't translate.Kids here be like:
Druuna? Serpieri? Corben? HM?
Wtf is that..?

Well, I have basically not used it since, but I can assure you it can be converted to G8, I had done it - not manually, using a couple of tools for the character and the textures, and an Iray converter for the textures.Interesting read... thanks. I never take open and thoughtful counter points in any manner other than how they were delivered.
Serieri has long been one of my biggest artistic inspirations, along with the early works of Richard Corben and David Cho. With Serieri's portrayal of Druuna being as close as possible to what I considered the ideal woman should look like.
BTW I do remember that V4 version quite well (iirc she was free, named Bruuna, even came with her own hair) it's a shame that model never got upgraded.
Ehm, you two were discussing the original inspiration for Druuna, so... no you are notSo, yeah, I'm right. ^^
Different styles and type, for me they are kind of complementary.I personaly like Milo Manara more then Serpieri, Although Druuna was chefkiss
No, I wasn't talking about the origin as genesis, I was talking about Druuna's origin as phenotype.Ehm, you two were discussing the original inspiration for Druuna, so... no you are not:-D, since if you look at the interview, Serpieri was very specific and explicit about the original inspiration, independently from how then over time her look changed/adapted.
I'm early 50s and the only one I'm familiar with was Heavy Metal magazine. Only got a couple issues in college.Kids here be like:
Druuna? Serpieri? Corben? HM?

I tell you what brother... if your next game involves a model and scenarios similar to the Druuna storyline I will definitely be among your first subscribers.The point is that like it was said in the first message talking about Druuna, yes, they do have a few similarities and she was definitely in my head when I started the game, I thought for a time into going for more of a fantastic setting, the 'weird events' are kind of an ersatz of it.
Having an heroine going through some erotica/fantastic adventures like this is definitely in the cards for the next game.
Ooh...I mean make what you love I guess. But you will probably find that the audience for that is not even close to what it was for this game. The fantastic scenes are more of an annoying interruption to the main story to me in this.No, I wasn't talking about the origin as genesis, I was talking about Druuna's origin as phenotype.
But let's get passed this before it ends into debates having nothing to do about Project Myriam.

That's your opinion my friend. Please don't fall into the trap of thinking your personal tastes or views on a topic are the prevailing one. You might be surprised how large the audience for themes/kinks you think are borderline actually is.Ooh...I mean make what you love I guess.
