I need graphics for a online based game
I need graphics for a online based game
Me and some of my friends are starting up a online viking game, and we got everything up and running except the graphics.
we would like the following to be created:
this is the current images from the first version of the game, but should only be used as inspiration, we want new ones because we are making a sequel:
axe-warrior
swordfighter
spear fighter
bowman
a house -
a farm -
a temple -
training-ground -
lumberjack place -
We would like to upgrade the graphics into something like this:
But it should be about the size of the ones above, so perhaps it would not need so much detail.
I hope someone can help me/us with this.
If you think you are the one for this job, then please write me at: Gonzo.Dark@gmail.com or write here.

EDIT: Totally forgot to tell you that the game is in Danish (and will be translated to English later on), and here is a link: http://game.heroes2.net/

Re: I need graphics for a online based game
First of all, could you be more specific what kind of graphics you need?
- guidelines (perspective, color palette, art technique)
- exact list of building types
- total amount of requested graphics
- size of graphics
- deadline
Actually I'm training my paint skills on Lenovo X61 Tablet, so I could do one detailed building per month. Perhaps this is not much, but that all I can do. I have to draw outline in inkscape first, then I can paint.
I've done quick and dirty picture to see how it will looks like without outline reference and to be honest it sucks.
I still have no experience in such type of art. But as I previously mentioned it may be nice opportunity to train. I can not guarantee any decent results. Also I am quite busy with some other things (my wife and son, CR1 for TMW, smart brush feature for Tiled, my Master Thesis... it's pretty long list ;))

Re: I need graphics for a online based game
First of all I am very sorry that I did not answer before now, but I had to ask the others on the team and we had to discuss what we really wanted inside the game.First of all, could you be more specific what kind of graphics you need?
- guidelines (perspective, color palette, art technique)
- exact list of building types
- total amount of requested graphics
- size of graphics

And now to answer your questions:
1. Guidelines (perspective, color palette, art technique): We are not experts on how to create graphics, but we really like your style in the 'dirty picture', and would be really happy if you could create the rest of the images in the same style.
2. Exact list of building types: The game theme is in the viking age, so the 'type' should be from somewhere around there.
3. total amount of requested graphics: The total amount is currently 11:
The game theme is in the viking age, so the following list should all be inspired from that timezone.
Axe-warrior, with this as inspiration: http://www.doyle.com.au/images/viking_waxe.jpg
swordfighter: , with this as inspiration: http://www.sword-buyers-guide.com/images/Viking3.jpg
spear fighter: , with this as inspiration: http://lib.lbcc.edu/handouts/images/Vik ... kings3.jpg
bowman, with this as inspiration: http://www.bueogpil.dk/images/topics/Bu ... er17KB.jpg
a house, with this as inspiration: http://netspirit.dk/od/images/vikinger/hus_001.jpg
a farm, with this as inspiration: http://www.rubjergknude.dk/uploads/pics/vikingehus.jpg
a temple, with this as inspiration: http://www.math.nus.edu.sg/aslaksen/gem ... tinels.jpg
training-ground, could not find any new inspiration on google, but if you remake the old one: http://www.heroes.dk/images/BygKamp.gif
lumberjack place, with this as inspiration http://static2.cdn.ubi.com/emea/gamesit ... erjack.png
the last two I could not find any pictures of on google either:
we need something that symbolizes with 'Land' and 'Gold'.
land = a landscape or a forrest
gold = a nomad riding on a house, with a lot of items, or a chest with gold.
the perspektive on the house you made would be perfect
4. size of graphics: We need in total 11 pieces of graphics, all 485*485 each ↠I guess that will be the difficult part, to make it small but yet beautiful.
5. Deadline, you decide as you are the one to make them
It would be great if you made a 'dirty picture' of them all before going into detail, so we can see if you are going in the right direction
and thanks a lot for doing this, it really means a lot for us.

EDIT: the size should be 485 * 485 not 97x97 as the old ones.

One one last thing. Type of license. I would prefer one of these: GPL, CC-BY, Public Domain, but I could also agree on some others (CC-BY-SA, CC-BY-NC, apache, bsd, mit, etc). Any propositions?

Public domain is internationally rather problematic.
This message used to be meaningful.
Re: I need graphics for a online based game
GPL then ;)
Is that style appropriate?

Re: I need graphics for a online based game
Another WIP. Indexed mode because forums attachments size limitation. Sorry for shortening tmw resources. Anyway it's GPL so may be reused somewhere in tmw (perhaps as page illustration in old book or something)
Re: I need graphics for a online based game
It looks really great
keep up the good work.
and to answer your question: that style is most definitely appropriate

Re: I need graphics for a online based game
Btw Gonzo, did you consider using one of those:
http://opengameart.org/browse/images
and many many more. They are all in SVG. Licensed under GPL. It may we nice placeholder graphics until I will finished those graphics.

Re: I need graphics for a online based game
The problem with using content from a lot of different artists, it that the style differs to muchi wrote:Btw Gonzo, did you consider using one of those:

We considered using nicubunu's game art until you finished:
http://opengameart.org/user/242
http://clipart.nicubunu.ro/?gallery=rpg_map
But his collection was sadly not wide enough :/
