WESTWARD FATES design thread

[BIOHUNTERZ]

brash adventure seeker: ATLUS


tomboy gunner: EMMA


rouge brawler: JED


mystic android: SHADE


the villian: ZEER


This is the start of the design pack I would like to make for a western themed RPG. Much like the celebrated Wild Arms games the world of WF will take you to the harsh dessert, hidden green meadows, underworld ruins and even to the sky to help save your world from the dark past that haunts it.

Re: Just for the record...

Is it a Western RPG??

'Cause Wild Arms hasn't been pulling its weight in that department.

Eh, they jumped the shark when they gave that one guy a fish face in 3.

Looks good but I'd actually like to see some design stuff. I'm still waiting for you to do anything with that water themed one with the floating islands and the quad-winged dragon you posted years ago.

Re: Just for the record...

The logo's not bad for a start. The best thing about it is the WESTERN font, bar none. RANCH.

And I agree, that topic got closed before I could say something but I thought it was okay for a start. Who didn't emulate Akira Toriyama (or Tetsuya Nomura) at first? (Besides Loki, Nix, Marc and Sejon :P) I spent many a lunch period tracing his beautiful art in the Nintendo Power Chrono Trigger Player's Guide, and I still go back to some of his characteristics time to time, especially his angry knitted eyebrow eyes.

Grrrr.

Re: Just for the record...

Sorry to make a topic about this BUTTTTTTT, I was following that thread and to be honest, Vandel's art while yes having allot of common themes that we see in main stream manga/anime was drawn quite well. very few problems with proportions, some nice details in the clothing, and a very well drawn left hand holding the sword.

Keep drawing Val and DO NOT change your style! improve and tweak it but don't change it. would you rather be freaking drawing some crap like you see on the WB....I suspect not.

and because it's in the img forum here is a little sig I made for the western themed game I would like to design someday.

O_O

I just shat myself. I'd never expect to get this kind of comment...

Thanks man. It really means a lot to me I'm never gonna stop drawing, cuz' that's really the only thing I have going for me right now.

Again, thanks bro!!

Don't let your gf hear you say that.

Re: Just for the record...

A sig, that's it? Come on, at least a character design or two. I love westerns, games and anime hardly touch it. It's a shame really, lots of potential there.

Final Fantasy VII in elementary!

I like the logo man but I'm not a fan of the font used for Fates, I dunno it seems kinda stupid placed in front of the western one.

Re: Just for the record...

Dude you totally don't get it. It's like a fence. The wayward part is the boards and the fates part is the metal that holds it together. It's THEMATICAL.

Re: Just for the record...

Just a bit too clashing for my tastes.
