two days ago we met up and talked concept. We figured that concepting out a gigantical planet and building our characters from what they'd need to survive in the environments of it.
A little summary of how the conversation went:
okay, the planet is huge, huge enough to be the center of its solarsystem, with the sun/suns revolving around it. The poles are scewed, so one side is almost always alight and the other almost allways night, with days that are like a year and then a week of light and vice versa.
The population is mainly living in one/two cities that are of course super large, north america-large or earth-large. there are trains that go out into the wild to collect wood etc, and maybe some small outposts and cabins outside the city, but only small parts of the planet is discovered.
we didn't really decide what kind of technology they would have, but not to advanced I think.. I'm thinking 1910's or 20's or sumething, but absolutely not steampunk. yeh, and then to design the characters from what they'd need in whatever environment they are in. in terms of clothing, what would someone living in a swamp where there is night all the time wear? I guess we would have to have people living outside the city, to make it a little more interesting.
yes thats about it.
we should look up inspiprational pictures for the different environments yeah? like the pros do, so maybe this thread could look a bit more professional!
(edit: le rules)
This month's Team Chow is going to be a little different! This time, we are creating fantasy portraits for player characters - with good and evil versions! It's both a wide open brief and a very strict one! Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to create a random team from the options given to you below, and to create 4-8 fantasy portraits that read well together and still look awesome separately. Thus, as a team, you must create a compatible 'look' for your characters.
ConceptArt.Org is going to be running game design activities and it is our hope that some of these characters could really inspire people doing activities on the other parts of the site too! Fuel for their fire so to speak. :]
Also, Jason has allowed me to offer you some fabulous prizes!
The winning team will get four downloads of their choice each and a pass to an upcoming live streaming course right here on conceptart.org!
Also, individuals within teams are also up for a prize! These will be given for leadership, and for extra effort in making great characters. This prize will consist of four downloads and the pass to attend ca live streaming event.
On to the nitty-gritty:
Here are the rules!
1. Teams of two MUST create at least 4 portraits, teams of three or four need 6 and teams of five need 8. You are perfectly welcome to create more images that the requirement if you feel your team is up to it.
2. You must take a random selection of the choices below. Please don't do 4 elven fighters, or only orcs, for example. Please take a randomized selection. If you would prefer me to give your team a specific assignment, I will generate the selection for you. If I see teams doing more select parties, then I will request you to change to something more random.
3. You must follow the format provided. See it below, please!
4. You must do a LIGHT and a DARK version for each character, please! This means that for each character you need two portraits.
5. You must submit a paragraph about each character. Do a short write up for each character you create. I want to see some interesting, stereotype-breaking stuff here, folks!
PLEASE SELECT ONE OF EACH CATEGORY FOR EACH CHARACTER.
Gender: Male / Female
Race: Human / Elf / Half-Elf / Dwarf / Orc - (and anything else you can think of!)
Class: Fighter (Barbarians, Knights, Dark Knights, Brawlers, etc) / Thief (Assasins, Rogues, etc)/ Spell Caster (Wizards, Sorcerers, Druids, etc) / Healer (Priest, Cleric, White Mage, Medic, etc) - (feel free to make up something for this, too)
Alignment: Good / Evil (please do both for each character)
YES, THESE LOOK LIKE STEREOTYPES. IT IS YOUR JOB TO BREAK THEM. I want to see some really interesting, kick ass stuff!
Okay, NOW GO!
