Ok, so here's what's up. In 2 months I will begin working on a game with five other people for five months for my final project here at school. My group wants to get a design document turned out by then and we have to pitch our idea to a committee to get it approved. We need awesome concept art.
The game is something to the effect of Lil' Ninja. I don't know the real title, but that's what I'm tentatively calling it anyways. It is about a ninja in training who will quest for his ninja gear to earn new abilities in a world ripe for platforming. Although I really dislike 3D platformers, looks like I'm going to have to bear it. Now, the ninja is going to be stylized. We're not going for realism here, we're going for more of a FUN looking ninja. But what does a fun, stylish ninja look like?
Ok, so I really have no clue about what everyone else is thinking as I'm away on vacation, but for a world, I'm thinking it's Mario 64 meets Japan. The ninja learns to do really cool tricks such as flipping off walls, running on water and such.
That's where artists come in. We have absolutely no idea and no clue about the ninja. So here's the contest rules.
1. Draw a ninja.
B. All ninjas must be submitted by Christmas. (Yes, ninjas, multiple submissions allowed) <-- Note: Christmas = December 25th, 2006.
3. The Ninja which my group likes best wins.
"What will you win?" You might ask. Well, besides having your name in the credits at a 200 - 300 person audience, you will get a fabulous $25.00 as well as a very AWESOME and very MYSTERY package. 2 items in this package have already been determined and as we think of sweet or random things to add, it grows. What else could be in there? Only the winner will behold.
So to recap. Best / coolest / whatever-the-group-members-think-they-like ninja wins respect, a SMALL cash compensation and a mystery prize. Anyone who enters gets rep. I'm desperate.
Edit: Sorry if it's not much, but really, that's about what we know. Since it's a big gray blob right now, anything thrown at us will sway our decisions.
Edittacular: The votes went as follows.
Loki - 4
Bio - 3
It was very torn between our group. Loki, please PM me and give me your address so I can get your prize to you. I will reveal the mystery prize contents to everyone after you get the package.
Also, Bio, please give me your address. I have a prize for you since our voting was extremely close.
