Title: Requesting an artist
Post by: Phayre on February 08, 2008, 04:10:09 PM

Okay, this is a large request, but I'm hoping someone is talented and bored enough to take it up. I'm in need of an artist for Ember Sky, for portraits, preferably full-body. The Facemaker sets I was using no longer fit the flavor of the game, plus, they were crappy. If anyone is wiling to invest some time and artistic prowess in my game, I would be eternally grateful, and it would really help to get things of the ground with development. I can only seem to draw a couple of the characters decently, but even then, not decently enough to put in a game.
In return, I can critique stories, do wallpapers, avatars, and sigs, and generally be your best friend forever and ever.  :bend: Let me know if you can help, or are interested, and I'll get you the details. Sample work would be nice, but given how bloody desperate I am, I don't want to be picky.

I dunno what quality of art you're after. I'll scan a sketch in and you tell me if it's good enough... if so I'll do it.

If it's not, I won't be offended XD I'm not very good :p

EDIT: Well this is what I pictured your scientist gunman guy to look like. Thinking about it, I have no idea how I'd colour the things anyway, so maybe I'm not the best person to do this XD



EDIT EDIT: Oh yeah. i forgot to resize it. I'm having one of those useless days today.

Well, whatever.

Point me in the right direction. :D

Seriously, I personally think I'm your best bet. Give me something to try out.

I'd offer, but I think everyone here should know by now how much of a flake I am.

Blarg, I forgot my sample. :/



Looking back, I really hope your expectations weren't high. >.<

I probably do better on robes than pants.

Actually, if someone would be willing just to do FE style faces, that'd work too. The full-body thing was just an it would be nice.
I'll upload my little database of appearances and crap later tonight, when I'm on my laptop.

Excellent. I think Zeek here can do them as well, so that just makes it easier. :D

Excellent good!
This file has all the existing grahics and written descriptions of the characters I need.

Thanks muchly for anything you can do. I tried making a Caolan once, but I didn't do so well with the style. Of course, for some reason I still use my shoddy attempt as an avatar at GW... ^^ I''m so silly prideful stupid.

Shite.

I dunno how tired I was that day, but you needed MSpaint sprites, right? Not drawings >.>

Okay then. Sorry about that XD

Title: Quality display
Post by: X_marks_the_ed on February 09, 2008, 05:38:22 PM

Here's the Arin base, if something doesn't look right, tell me. I don't want to keep making constant mistakes.

Title:
Post by: Phayre on February 09, 2008, 08:23:00 PM

I like it, but it doesn't really fit Arin. I think he'd look a little older, and definitely less cheerful. He is, after all, the obligatory angst-ridden prettyboy. Being female, they are apparently a necessity ( I actually don't understand that at all... wait... *hides Squall avatar* never mind)

Title:
Post by: X_marks_the_ed on February 10, 2008, 02:17:05 PM

Right, while I fix Arin, critique Athair's base.

( I mean looks, not emotion. These are just bases, meaning I'll give them correct expressions later. )

Side-note: Caolan is taking me quite a while, it's hard to picture him in my mind for some reason.

EDIT: Managed to "transplant" another  face onto his, and this  (http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c268/X_marks_the_ed/base_arin2.png)is what came out. He looks older to me, but I'm thinking the size of the head might dispell that illusion. :/

The Athair is awesome! Drop dead squee awesome. As for the Arin, now that I look at it, his hair's a bit off. Is there any way you could make it cover the ear a bit more?

Title:
Post by: X_marks_the_ed on February 10, 2008, 02:57:33 PM

I'll  take a look at it. Caolan's almost done, I just can't get the colors to blend very well. I either get a fourescent green on the coat or absolute white hair. >.<

EDIT: I finished Caolan to the best of my abilities, he is one tough cookie, so to speak.

Christophe was easy, just added glasses and the "stubble" to a given face, and edited the coat a bit. :D

I lengthened Arin's hair a bit over his ear.





.......there's no charset for Evariste. o.O

Post by: Phayre on February 10, 2008, 04:06:02 PM

I haven't finished Evariste's sprite yet, but there should be a description. These all look really good, except could Christophe's hair be more of a dirty blonde, and a bit shorter?
I'm being so damn picky.
By the way, do you want me to do anything in return? Wallpapers, site layouts, sigs/avatars... I'll try my hand. I'm so grateful ^^

Title:
Post by: X_marks_the_ed on February 10, 2008, 05:37:22 PM

The best I could think of Evariste was a simple recolor of Saul. :/



Making Cristophe's hair shorter is a bit too difficult for me, sorry. But I have "dirtified" his hair ( Why you would curse a character to dirty blondeness is beyond me. I am one. <.< ), but in two different ways. Which one is better?

Colors on original faceset:


Hair colors blended with a shade of brown I found on a picture of a kitchen table:

Double post, so what? I ain't fixing the links again!

The last three. I'll check back and see if any have a problem, in the mean time, I'll begin giving them emotions and putting them in faceset form.

Post by: Phayre on February 10, 2008, 09:09:07 PM

The second Christophe is better, thank you, and all the new ones except Grey look good. Grey's neck looks sorta odd, but is OK. These are really excellent, and I owe you more vanilla cokes than one little Phayre can possibly imagine o.o
Actually, the original base used for Arin, the face at least, looks like how I imagined Evariste.

I really need a break, I'll finish tomorrow, but here are the first three done with emotes.


Sorry about the first one on row 2 of Athair's, but he's all I could think of when working with Athair.  ;)





EDIT: o.O     Since when did .rars not work with the attachment box?

My God, yes, you need a break. Just one of those faces takes me a day or two, and they neevr turn out right.... but you're certainly amazing, m'dear. I am eternally in your debt.

Just realized a typo: Evariste is 16, not 26. Sorry. I dunno why I was reading through that doc but I was... ^^
