It's really expensive unless you're aiming for hundreds of copies. It's an enormous investment printing anything. $100 per copy, and he's only printing 50 to break even - do the math, he's spent at least 5 grand on printing it. There's no point unless you're completely satisfied with the outcome.<br /><br />Personally I think it takes a LOT to want to actually produce something like this. I've just emailed for my copy.Khoroshonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080026879350344019.post-30048104740440357312010-05-28T01:53:37.121-05:002010-05-28T01:53:37.121-05:00Hey guys,
Logan Zawacki here. Just thought I'...Hey guys,<br /><br />Logan Zawacki here. Just thought I'd answer some of your questions about the book. I've found the feedback very honest, and I appreciate that, so now I'll try to answer some of your issues.<br /><br />1) Why it's $100 - This is a self-published book, so I don't have the luxury of printing a book for $5 then selling it for $30 and making a $25 profit. Instead I put a lot of money into producing a book that recreates the aesthetic of an industrial catalog and because I've done such a small run of 50 copies, it cost me that much more to produce per book, but it increases the value of the book.<br /><br />2) Mega Man and the rest of the characters are referred to as cyborgs because of 2 reasons. Firstly, if I called him Mega Man I would certainly get sued. Secondly, making the characters part man/part machine supports my concept.<br /><br />3) Yes, this is an Art project. Yes, it is fanmade. I'm not looking to make a profit, I'm looking to break even. I have a lot of respect for what Capcom and Keiji Inafune have done with the Mega Man franchise.<br /><br />4) This book is intended to pay homage to what they've created, but with enough of my original content that Capcom hopefully won't come after me for litigation. That would explain why there are so many "inaccuracies." Like I said before, I'm not looking to make a profit and I'm not looking to just copy information they've provided and put it in a book, so I don't know why they'd come after me for trying to promote their company.<br /><br />5) Once again, thank you guys for the honest feedback and if I ever get a chance to discuss legal matters with Capcom over this book and receive their approval, then I'll be able to make a cheaper version through Blurb or some other self-publishing site.<br /><br />Hope that answers some of your questions and thanks again for at least taking a look at my work. If you'd like to see more of the characters, I just posted several of them on my website (loganzawacki.com). Just click on Portfolio - 200X Product Catalog, and enjoy the creepiness. lol<br /><br />- Logan ZawackiLogan Zawackihttp://www.loganzawacki.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080026879350344019.post-33726527780316530892010-05-27T15:11:03.070-05:002010-05-27T15:11:03.070-05:00Wow.

Wouldn't you guys buy it, even for the inaccuracies and such for a lower price?<br />With that aside, the art is awesome. And it'll help if there was no human experimentation involved...<br />"If companies begin experimenting with mechanical enhancements on people, will they then own those people as an investment? Can they sell and control these mechanized people like products? At what point does an employee become a machine?"<br />Yeah...

(who looks mighty creepy to boot)<br /><br />he could have been a bit more faithful there, especially if this Megaman is any indication, the rest of the robots featured, hwill most likely get the same treatment. some very creepy or odd looking cyborg hybrid. the King Robotics is a very cool touch, but, witt he skull, makes it seem like its some Wily run catalog.Flamenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080026879350344019.post-54148876898640752662010-05-27T11:38:54.608-05:002010-05-27T11:38:54.608-05:00God lord, you people suck.
