I am looking for a few concept artists to help on a project. If you like to role play and you want to help out just reply to this thread or email me at angelofslaughter@gmail.com. Now if your reading this you probably have some curiosity as to what this is all about, well I'm putting a team together for this:
The Storyline:
Earth, once a beautiful place that man flourished was destroyed by his hate. Mankind declared nuclear warfare and had the global fallout we all cringe to think about. The water evaporated out of the atmosphere and a storm (much like Jupiter's storm) was created with the nuclear dust and shrapnel of mankind's once strong empire. The fallout made earth a wasteland of defeat but created air-pockets around earth long enough for mankind to developed cybernetics to survive in the un-breathable atmosphere. This was only the beginning of mans new era. Years passed and man found mutations of themselves roaming aimlessly. They had nowhere to go and nothing to live for. The last few survivors of the human race gathered in Europe seeking to start a new life and found only a few thousand remained. As they wasted away and the cybernetics pumped their blood long past organically survivable years, a new hope arrived in our solar system. A planet larger then earth by 100 fold emerged, free floating through space and time had gave the humans hope for survival. As they gathered a probe to test its atmosphere they realized how quickly it was moving and in days it was only a few thousand miles from earth. Within hours, the heat of our sun dissipated as the new planets gravity had pulled earth from orbit to make earth its new moon. The earth quickly fell into an ice age and the light turned into an endless darkness. We feared the worst had come and the humans had no chance, and no one to save us. At moments end a faint radio signal was captured from the planet, meaning intelligent life was there! The humans are saved! They quickly took the last shuttles of earth and launched to seek refuge on the new planet. When the first shuttle landed the humans were introduced into a new home. The air was breathable and the climate was warm, we looked to the sky and seen an endless ocean of purple gases lighting up the landscape they inhabited. They quickly learned of the underground oceans of freshwater and had almost a limitless water supply. As time went on we journeyed finding new herds of creatures and insects that were here long before us, and went back to the hunter gathering days of our race. After a long journey of exploration through a little less than 1% of the planet, we found the place where the radio signal was broadcasted and it looked to be an abandon outpost with oddly shaped crafts and buildings and that is where the story begins.
The Idea:
The main thing is the storyline - this is why I am making it is because I feel like this story deserves to be told. What I want to do is leave this huge planet free to explore for players to create its content. It will all be done with a Wiki - a information site, and a forum (an all around community site). They player will come to the forum and register - they will post in the character creation and fill out the character app (will have age, type of implants [cybernetic implants] etc, etc) and a GM will read it and either approve it or work with them to make it workable. Once the character is created they now have something to write with. The character will start off in that abandoned village or outpost we talked about (we have a map, but for the most part its completely blank) And will write their journey and be able to create new plants, creatures, and landscapes as they describe. As they find new things they will add them to the wiki creating a database for this planet and what’s on it. In the end we hope to have a full functional planet with thousands upon thousands of creatures and plants. And will have a database to make a MUD with and possibly a book. Concept artists of ours can even create maps and characters. We have even had talks of creating a small game out of it, utilizing our Programmers and level designers.
Why I'm posting this: I need concept artists to help with visualizations in the new world - no animations or game engines will be used just yet or maybe ever but still images will be needed. So for example, this new outpost they find - ill need images of the cars located there, a picture of the outpost its self, things like this. This project will be lots of fun and hopefully will take off. If you decide you want to help you will join our team and will be welcomed as an equal.
Requirements:
- 18 years or older (exceptions can be made)
- A good grasp on art
- A good imagination
- Talent with 3d programs or drawing
- A microphone
So just go ahead and email me =)
