I’m currently working with an artist on character designs and the main title screen for Arvale: Treasure of Memories, Episode II<\/strong>. While kicking around ideas and describing a few pictures in my head, we thought it would be a good idea for me to sketch out what I was thinking.<\/p>\n

I’m wanting to do something with the new and old characters involved in the game try to portray their personalities and how they fit into the story, while maintaining a decent balance of picture (which everyone should have learned in any Art 101 class).<\/p>\n

Above and the following are the results.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

The first sketch wasn’t centered enough and I didn’t want Duncan off on his own like that, so I made the above masterpiece \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

Then I decided to add a bit more detail (so the artist isn’t at a complete loss while staring at stick figures), and fleshed it out to this thing.<\/p>\n

That should be proof enough that you should hire a real artist \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Actually, the last sketch isn’t that<\/em> bad (I doodled a lot when I was a kid, which may explain my fondness for drawing on lined paper \ud83d\ude09 ). A step up from stick figures at least (side note: I actually made a fighting game involving stick-figures, -programmed in basic, using low-res graphics on the Apple II- back when I was in in highschool… I still have fond memories of it…).<\/p>\n

But I know that the artist’s final rendition will have actual perspective, talent, and skill behind it, so it will kick ass and probably look nothing like this \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Anyway, I just thought you’d enjoy it. What do you think?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
