[Swordhand]

Okay, working out a style for our little team of heroes here, krato.
I want crazy DEATH ROBOTS!!! and post apocalypse road warrior military technology barbarians :D

[Krato]

yea you can join

[0zz0]

ok :) tell me what you are gonna do ...

i got a good program to share drawings eazy etc look for dropbox on google

[Swordhand]

Have you read up on the rules of team chow 0zz0? Try looking at some of the old team chow threads to see how they work, then we can start. Right now we are only working out the characters' styles.

@ Krato: Here is some quick sketches.. just to get some of the crap in my head on.. er.. paper.

[0zz0]

yep if read the rules,
but what are we going to do i mean what time and what gerne,
anyway i like the idea of the robots :)
did you see the wild wild weird sisters thread?
it would be awesome to do the combining drawings here to if you know what i mean?
tell me what you think...

(sry for my bad english im not that good at it :grandpa: )

[Swordhand]

Well, my idea isn't very original. It is just your every day kind of post apocalyptic roadwarrior tribe wars thing. With killer robots thrown in for fun. I think that is about it. I wouldn't class their technology more than 35 years in the future. I think we should work on style and sketches and work out the chars in entirety before we start combining and collaborating on the finals.

[0zz0]

mad max ?
that is cool with me its like fallout ... realy cool :P

[Swordhand]

yep. mad max. fallout. some robots, and some death :D

[0zz0]

Cheers guys :D

[0zz0]

keep it up!!
do you wan to post some more refs swordhand?
that would be great !

[Swordhand]

Here is another reference page and a concept sheet from fallout that I think is good for this:

[Krato]

hey guys i wanted to remind you not to only find and use refs for character designs. Use refs for the person them self. The last thing you want to do is build up bad habits. ;)

[sepu]

some work clothes :)

[0zz0]

great! keep it up :)

[0zz0]

some refs i think are good for this here :

[Swordhand]

[0zz0]

[sepu]

Swordhand I love this "can i axe you a question" guy :)
I will play with him a bit, ok?

[0zz0]

ok people i cant come online from Wednesday till Sunday i hope thats no problem...
but i will try to draw much when im away
so plz tell me if its oke for you all


last post till sunday,
i like the axe question guy to maybe i will try to draw something like that to if thats ok but i think it is :P (again we are a team :) )
wel i think i only can say one think and that is KEEP IT UP! :carnifex:

CYA sunday! :yayca:

[sepu]

have a nice weekend :)

all I can say is if You guys feel like taking any my sketch under your hands to do anything with it - feel absolutely free, this is what we are here to do, isn't it? to cooperate ;)

[Swordhand]

Yep. the Idea right now is to develop a bit of a theme and start working as a team. I am pretty happy with this so far. Daestwen's recent post has me worrying that we are going to be in for one wild ride.

Guys, it looks like I have something really really awesome to pull out of my hat for you guys on this one, but it means that there might be REALLY large format changes come Aug 1st's contest announcement.

Without giving anything away, I should let you all know that you really will have to roll with the punches on this one and that you should focus your pre-contest work on learning how to work together and getting a good workflow going, rather than preparing too much stuff in advance! ;]

This is going to be awesome, folks!

I almost think we should MAKE SURE that every single one of us touches each single piece(for the final) that way it will be a true collaboration. I will be logged off for a while here (switching countries today) but don't worry I'll see the surprise in a few days. good work here guys :teeth:

[Krato]

taking a break from the freelance work, im going to add a sketch or two today

[sepu]

FANTASY!!!

guys :) our nice references are definitely not ok for now ;)

maybe the "can I axe you a question" is ok, but rest is, well.. you know.

so what is to be chosen now from this character options?
I personally really like dwarfs, specially armed ones :) so dwarf healer/necromancer would be my first suggestion..

[sepu]

ekhm... guys??

[Krato]

i dont have time for this chow i have allot of other stuff going on right now, so when 0zz0 comes back you guys can have a 3 member group.

Sorry guys

[sepu]

hmm.. I hope you don't mind, but I will look for other team, to be adopted by them :P

maybe next time? :)

[Swordhand]

Hmm. sorry guys.
Guess I'll find some others to fill the team.

[0zz0]

whell im out 2
sry and thx

[Mat Kaminski]

Awww BOO!!

[Swordhand]

Damn it!
