Title: In-Game Art and Tiles
Post by: Alais on February 27, 2010, 12:55:30 AM
Before you read this, note that the post has two parts. Be sure to read the second part too, it's about art suggestions.

Want to join the team?

Ok. First an important request! We are still in pretty desperate need of artists to help us out with both vector pokemon sprites, and tile art. Although it has not stopped the project advancing, we will need at least one more artist if the game is to be completed within a couple of years (no promises on timescale, but it will be twice as long with just me working on art).

Tile art needed includes buildings, but also a variety of other objects such as trees, mountains, beach, player sprites (clothes, hairstyles, the works) etc. If you think you can draw pixel art, or are good at computer based drawing, we could really use your talent. Please apply!

Vector art must be in the anime style, but can have a little of your own personality added, through unique poses. Here's an example:

If you think you can draw pokemon like this one, and not just traced or copied, please apply. We need you too!

Tile art suggestions!

Now for the real suggestion part: What kind of areas would you like to see in Pokemon Universe?

Some existing ideas to get you started:

Jungle
Swamp
Desert
Oak forest
Open grassland
Scrubland (like desert but with dead grass, small bushes and trees - think Australian outback)
Mangroves (trees that grow in shallow water on the coast)
Volcano
Snow
Ice lake
Ruined town
Ancient ruins

See what else you can think of!

You can use "paint" and make pixel art right?
I don't know if you guys would consider that professional though.

You can use paint, photoshop is much better, but there are other free programs available.

Don't bother. You fail anyway because your lack of grammar.

Well, you should be reading the rules and regulations of the forum well before posting... ::)

Back to topic: Well, I'd like to help, but I don't have much time. I'm always multitasking... :-\

As for the suggestions for the tiles, I think you covered them well. I can't think of any other terrain. Perhaps some dumping ground for poison type pokemons?

If you are in lack of ideas. There is a list in DB that the team made before you joined. (link (https://dl-web.dropbox.com/get/Pok%C3%A9mon%20Universe/Documents/Game/A%20where%20to%20encounter%20what.txt?w=91d8c450))*

For the terrains I would suggest mountains, hilly areas, paved or dirt roads, and caves. And also can we volunteer in the drawing of Pokemon?

You can volunteer to draw pokemon, we do need help, but it needs to be up to the standard of the picture in the first post. Feel free to post example work here if you want a quick reply, or you can send an official job application to [email protected]

Hello I just signed up for this site i watched a couple videos from youtube on your guys' game and i seemed pretty interested. I am 16 live in the states but I thought i would like to volunteer, and maybe if you like my art or not I would love a job here. I take a couple classes in school involving CAD and architecture. So my question is if I volunteer a little and you guys like my art would you promote me to a job? thanks for listening to this :) first post :), oh forgot sorry umm do you want new pokemon we come up with or just old ones but done in new ways? Also we are out of school here so I can stay up late for European time if we ever need to talk or not or i can get up really early.
I just tested with some sprites idk if you want any of that or not but tonight im going to try some pokemon from scratch

What is the IRC link?
Title: Re: In-Game Art and Tiles
Post by: Raikt on June 08, 2010, 10:01:06 AM
You can connect to us at IRC using the Chat -> Webchat option at the top of the page. If you find you enjoy talking to us, then you can download an IRC Client (mIRC, Chatzilla, etc.) and idle in the room for the boring bits, too.

Hi,

I don't know much about graphics and editing but I have a strong imagination when it comes to Pokemon. I love them so and I am will to give my all to help out. I'm a very BIG fan of Pokemon.

I have some knowledge in Adobe Photoshop, Adobe After Effects.. I usually work with video editing and website designing but I know some photo editing. Also, I am a art director and also a event designer.  ;D

I don't know if that would qualify me. Just let me know.

hoping for your reply.
I'll send more of my details if I'm qualified.

There is nothing wrong about being from Brazil. But, unfortunately yes, right now we need tiles. ;)

http://www.flickr.com/photos/58874404@N05/5398 (http://www.flickr.com/photos/58874404@N05/5398) Got a flickr account today.

Image tags aren't working. This is the incomplete sprite, have to add shoes, color, properly crop him at school, then resize. I was gonna finish it and enter it in the professor comp. but it closed earlier than I thought so I erased parts and made him more like a trainer sprite.

Again feel free to request some sort of drawing for PU and I'll give it a shot, I just want to know that if it turns out well it would be something you could use.

Hm... you have to look for the link 'cause you're taking the wrong link:

The current things the Team need right now are tiles for the game. If you could show what you can do...

If you have a look at my entry, the sprite I made fits into a 48*48 pixel square. That's all what's required.
