    Anyone Up For Concept Art?

    I'm going to be making a new version of my game. (Oriontide: Forever In The Eternal Darkness Of The Nameless).

    With previous games I've made, some of you guys did some amazing artwork that made the game that much better. (I think almost every game I've designed, using RPGMaker or not, had guiding hands by the community here). I was planning on drawing some stuff for this game, however my scanner isn't working and my drawing skills aren't anywhere near as good as what I've seen you guys do.

    I'm going to continue practicing my drawing and when I get good enough maybe I'll post some of my stuff here. (When I get better that is). With my next game, I hope to draw alot of stuff in it. However, I've opened up my games to you guys before and now I'm doing it again.

    Oriontide is already out. It's been out for well over a month. However, it could be a ton better. I'm releasing a major update that will make it as good as I can possibly push it.

    Those of you who do draw stuff for the game will have their name put in the game during the opening screens. If you want, you can also have your name, website, email, whatever in the Gameplay Guide that comes with the game. Just be sure to let me know how you want to be credited. Unfortunately, that's all I can offer since I spend most of my money on diapers these days.

    Please remember, you can play the game if you want to, to get a better idea of what it is.

    If you want a part in this, just read the below descriptions of the things that I'm looking for. Please note I don't want EVERYTHING I post below, just whatever you want to do.

    I'm not good at describing, so here's how we could do it. If you want to do something in the list below, let me know what you want to do, I'll email you a description of full detail, and then when you're done post the image here and give it a cool title.

    I'll put it in the game, however I'll decide where it goes in the game. I may make small adjustments, for example, if I want to use your image for the title screen, I may put the games logo on it.

    The biggest screens in the game are 640*480, so no need to worry about creating large images. You don't have to.

    Here is the list:

    ---

    1.) Drawing of the main character crying
    I would like a drawing of the main character crying, kind of like this:
    http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/image..._coffin203.jpg
    (Even though that's a lame picture, but that's kind of the pose).

    2.) Drawing Of A Hideous Evil Demon
    Something SCARY. The drawing will be of the Nameless, which have a cloak like the Grim Reaper does, but they have a more human looking face with glowing blue eyes. They don't have no hands or feat. They thirst for blood and feel that bloody deaths are a form of art.

    3.) A testplayer
    When I'm all done with this stuff, I would like someone (other than me) to play the game and try to crash it.

    4.) Story Critique Person
    Someone to play the game and just go through the story, let me know what they don't understand so I can make sure the game is coherent. I would probably provide a special version of the game where the main character starts with a ton of hit points to make sure the person critiquing doesn't get fed up with losing.

    5.) Possessed Hero
    I'd like a drawing of the said demon in #2 possessing the character of #1.

    6.) Face Portraits
    I need about six or so small face shots of the characters.

    7.) World Map
    Just a sketch of a made up world like you were looking at an old fashioned atlas or something.

    8.) Sketch of the character Xinian
    Again, email me if you want to do it, I will email you back a description or post it here.

    9.) Sketch of the character Yuko
    Again, email me if you want to do it, I will email you back a description or post it here.


    ----

    Theme:

    The game is a gothic anime style. Think of Final Fantasy meets Devil May Cry, or Silent Hill meets Star Ocean. Something like that. Moreso gothic than anything else.

    The characters don't smile. This is important. None of them should be smiling at all.

        I've tried the concept art, and I just don't have the motivation, but I don't mind being a play tester.

          Thanks guys for at least considering it. I released the new version of Oriontide as is. If anyone submits anything I'll make a new version otherwise the update I just released is the last until my next game.

            I'd be glad to try my hand at...well, any of the drawing parts.

            So...if you could give me some more info about numbers 1,2,5,6,8, and 9, that'd be great.

            My e-mail should be under my profile, but if it's not it's right here.

              Haven't done so much as a doodle in years, but I'll give the demon a shot. I'll do it in about 2-3 different ways and see if you like any of 'em.

                  Re: Anyone Up For Concept Art?

                  (Note: Sorry for the late replies guys, I set this thread to email me when its replied to but I've not received one email notification yet for some reason).

                  Wow! I'm glad you guys are interested. I'll post the descriptions here, so everyone can benefit. My descriptions below is just the original information reposted but I added more information to each.

                  Since I posted the sprites for some of the main characters, you could even touch them up if you wanted to.

                  In fact, just play the game. You can download it here. If you can draw/design something better than what I did, go right ahead! It's an open book at this point. Just play it and whatever interests you, let me know and you can do it.

                  If anyone has any questions feel free to ask.

                  Anyway here are the edited descriptions:

                  ------------------
                  1.) Drawing of the main character crying
                  I would like a drawing of the main character crying, kind of like this:
                  http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/image..._coffin203.jpg
                  (Even though that's a lame picture, but that's kind of the pose).

                  To see what the main character looks like, check out this sprite image (that's the best way of describing it):

                  That image is a bit small though, sorry about that.

                  2.) Drawing Of A Hideous Evil Demon
                  Something SCARY. The drawing will be of the Nameless, which have a cloak like the Grim Reaper does, but they have a more human looking face with glowing blue eyes. They don't have no hands or feat. They thirst for blood and feel that bloody deaths are a form of art.

                  Here is an image of them as they look in the game:

                  That differs from my explanation because they were originally intended to be cloaked demons. I'd prefer them to be cloaked demons unlike that sprite, that sprite was great but nowhere near how I wanted them to look.

                  3.) A testplayer
                  When I'm all done with this stuff, I would like someone (other than me) to play the game and try to crash it.

                  If you are interested in this send me an email. (jlacroix82@gmail.com). I'll save your email and when its done I'll reply to the message with a link to the game.

                  4.) Story Critique Person
                  Actually this could be consolidated into #3.

                  5.) Possessed Hero
                  I'd like a drawing of the said demon in #2 possessing the character of #1.

                  However you want it to look basically. I have the sprites of both and the Nameless (demon) were originally supposed to be grim reaper looking things so use your imagination.

                  6.) Face Portraits
                  I need about six or so small face shots of the characters.

                  Darin: The sprite that I posted above works but I'll post it again here:


                  Yuko: Darin's love interest. Blonde girl, long hair, skinny. Sprite is here:


                  Xinian: Darin's rival and commanding officer.


                  The rest are just NPC's. A male and female NPC face portrait would probably do it for the rest.

                  7.) World Map
                  Just a sketch of a made up world like you were looking at an old fashioned atlas or something.

                  There's no rules here. Just make a map, similair to Final Fantasy Tactics and Final Fantasy XII. It's not going to be something you walk around on. Dots will appear and you click on where you want to go. Very similar to RPGMaker PSone.

                  8.) Sketch of the character Xinian
                  Sprite is here:


                  9.) Sketch of the character Yuko
                  Again, here is the sprite:

                    Was that enough information? Are you guys still interested? No rush, just checking.

                      I think everyone died...

                      Can you elaborate a little on the World Map? Tell me a little about the geography... Because if you don't it will just be random you know...

                      BTW: Sorry I wasn't checking on this topic because I thought everyone else was handling it... I know there are very good artists on this forum (Better than me) and since there was such an uproar of people I thought it was handled... Sorry 'bout that...

                        Random away! The geography/topography has never been established so whatever you make would become the official world map. The size of the graphic would have to be 640*480, so it wouldn't be a whole world map, but just a portion, kind of like Ivalice in Final Fantasy Tactics.

                        The only actual rule is that there has to be a small island somewhere.

                        Edit: This is what I'm using now. I don't like it all that much (and it's not original):

                          Don't worry, that was enough information.

                          I'm sorta-kinda workingon it right now, but don't be too anxious about an update in the near future.

                            OK I'm working on the map but I thought I would include a wide variety of terrain to give you a lot of options. Is there any special sort of terrain you would like it to be or should I just kinda freestyle the whole thing?

                            Oh and should I draw using some sort of computer program or on paper (Does it really matter)?

                              Nothing matters really. Freestyle away. Whatever art I get I'm grateful. I'm trying to draw stuff too but my art isn't at a great level yet.
