My ugly face on a Lucky Hit board

I'd rather not subject you guys to that.

I'd much rather submit my own art. What do you guys think? Doesn't that sound like a reasonable option for $4,000?

With final approval from the art director of course.

Yeah, send them a message and ask. I would rather do that as well. Are you a decent artist, any examples

Decent enough for Lucky Hit, I think.

I mean it's street art, right?

I've seen your Shenmue fan art on Deviant I think, it's good.

I agree I mentioned this in the pledge thread I hope this is perhaps an optional feature players can enable or perhaps reserve it to something that can only be seen in new game plus mode.

An option could be insulting for the backers, I think more about a secluded place exactly like at Kownloon with the most rewarding betting games of the city.

I wouldn't worry too much about this. Like the description of the reward tier for the creation of a NPC, Yu Suzuki would keep the integrity of the world intact, so I think it would be more like a stylized picture of yourself by Miyawaki + your name.

I also don't think it's in the spirit of Lucky Hit, which in the Shenmue universe seemed to me like it was a platform for independent craftsmen and street artists.

For four grand I am not interested in having my portrait done. It doesn't seem like anyone else is either, right now, since there are no takers yet.

Either way, I imagine the way they get around it looking awkward is by throwing all the backer stands in a secret underground room somewhere. There were other special gambling parlors that were out of the way in Shenmue II.

shenmue 2 had those zippos with the 'Muecas' (japanese online fan community of the time) design on it. so the precedent already exists!

maybe the artists could dress them up in ancient chinese clothing...? might make them fit a bit more subtly into the game.

They should reconsider the price for this. The I am Shenmue 3 reward is already sold out, while no one has pledged for this yet. And I'm not surprised. The price difference for what you is too big. Get your face in the game and your name in the guest register for 1500$ or just your face in the game for $4000. It doesn't make sense to me.
