I see... (Sun Jul 29 09:23:49 2001 )

I can understand that. Although I'm still kinda 
wondering about that first question (what's the 
difference between my sketch and your genga, when 
they look like they're from about the same part 
(in the "Ah! A question" post)...again, just 
curious). 

So, I suppose that means...a lot of the 
Lodoss "genga" floating around that are just 
partial sketches are just production sketches. 
That makes sense.

Anywhoo, as I said, I can understands the 
distinction of layout vs. genga vs. 
sketch...which brings me to another question. Why 
do so many people advertise plain ol' production 
sketches as genga, then? It seems that the 
difference increases the value quite a bit and 
that a distinction should be made...

I think I'll go back and change the webpage so 
that I can start to defunct these perceptionsof 
genga that many have. I, for one, certainly fell 
for them.

Tell me if this would be a correct/OK definition 
for genga on the site:

Preliminary sketch used to insure continuity in 
look of the characters from scene to scene. These 
have very little to do with the actual production 
process except to demonstrate any points/examples 
of the character for that scene, and thus is ued 
as a blueprint/backbone for the animators to base 
their work off of. Drawn by lead animators, and 
as such have intrinsically more value than any 
sketch.

It's a bit rough, I'll clean the wording up 
later...but would this be a more correct 
definition?
