Group Summer Project v2
Alrighty, I wasn't going to lift the project because of the lower number of members participating, but someone PM'd me asking to bring it back. It's true though, quality over quantity. It's partly due to my absence here and busy'ness from work.
Anywho, I just wanted people to confirm if they're a go. I was wondering if magi is still willing to make the background, and if the theme was still camping. What I'm confused about is dimensions, I'm not good with setting that up. Help plz =/. I'm confirmed myself. We need to set some due dates... I was thinking between mid July and late July. +Greykin +magi +guyinrubbersuit +MetheGelfling +vemp +Kazyl Most amazing jew boots oh my gawddd

Okay...
I am still here. sorta. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
Good Chocobo |
Yup, you know I'm still here.
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
Haha! Nice! I'm on there twice! Or perhaps it's a clone of me running around...I should stop him.
I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
I'm still down.
I was speaking idiomatically. |
Well, I guess I should have taken some initiative on this. I am starting to paint the images to use as the background, imaging a cool, lake side camping area. With ancient trees and place to explore.
Here is the work in progress. Let go camping. What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
Good Chocobo |
Awesome. When the background is finished, then we can start setting up some deadlines.
Is the background just going to be a background or should we think about interacting with it when we start drawing? FELIPE NO |
How about both? Naturally if the character is just standing around, then you could just put them anywhere, however, I think it would be fun if character interact with the background also, if you guys want something else (some type of object, like grills, campfire boats or whatever) put into the the background, it would be okay too, just make the request here. The background image would be a lot larger then it is now. Although resizing and the put togather probably need someone with photoshop. (I only have OpenCanvas, which the resizing tool isn't too great) What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
Good Chocobo |
I have a copy of photoshop cs that I don't use .
So if the characters are interacting with the background, would there be like, assigned sections lest two people draw theirs doing the same thing. Jam it back in, in the dark. |
So basically the characters would be whatever is done while camping right?
There's nowhere I can't reach. |
Yes, you can draw something that representing you, or a character that you made up in camping gear or doing something while camping. I don't know if Greykin want to put some guideline on this, but theme base, basically, and then we put it all togather, just for the fun of it.
How ya doing, buddy? |
any update on when you want our pic done by, as mid july is quickly approaching?
I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
Well, if you are thinking about doing the character already, just go ahead and do it, I'll change the background to accomedate them.
I was speaking idiomatically. |
Ok. I'll set the end date for the end of July. Last day, is that ok?
As for dimensions, I am REALLY not good at this stuff, so someone else would have to work that out. I guess it all depends on the background size though. Lately I've been extremely busy with work and all these camp dates, sorry for the like, uber late reply. I'll be able to start my drawing next week . heh, Kazyl, quite the tricky one :P What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? oh my gawddd |
End of July will work great for me. As far as size goes... I'd recommend that everybody do their character pretty big as they can always be scaled down in PS.
FELIPE NO |
Soooo this project is basically having each person work on a different thing for that picture posted by Magi? Oooor are there more pictures?
What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? Run doggy, run... :doggy:
|
Actually, each of us is just draw a character that we created or representing yourself doing something base on a theme, and then we put them togather in one big picture. I am just working on the background at the moment, but I am also drawing a character for that.
Its just so happen that the theme was suppose to be "camping". Why don't you draw something too? :3 Jam it back in, in the dark. |
Is that all done in photoshop?
There's nowhere I can't reach. Run doggy, run... :doggy:
|
Are you talking about my image, or the group project in general?
Well, my image is done in OpenCanvas. Its preferable that you can get PSD file with character in one layer and transparent background, because it makes it easier to put the whole thing together. However, one of us could clean up the images and put it in the background with others if you don't have the means to generate transparent PSD yourself. So in that case any medium would be okay, water color, oil, acrylic, whatever. As long as you can get it on computer, we can put it in. Although we will need reasonable good quality images, as in, big enough and clear enough in terms of scanning or photographing. Although this is mainly just a conceptual exercise in my opinion. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
Of course, it's always best to create images in a considerably large resolution for professional editing. I just don't know what resolution that background image has for me to determine my char's size, hun. :\
I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? Run doggy, run... :doggy:

Its photoshop, does it matter? Although the image at the moment is about 3000 w X 1000 h. Its mainly because I haven't work in enough detail yet. Although I'd like to go for 7700 w X 2500 h, OpenCanvas probably wouldn't be able to handle. it. >w<

Of course it matters You wouldn't wanna blow up a character that I made using 100 x 100 haha. That'd be ugly! Thanks for mentioning the size though, I appreciate it.

If it is possible, PM me with the link to your character file so I can put it togather in with the background. :3 It would be nice if your character is in one layer with tranparent background, but it isn't necessary, that is, if you trust my ablity to cut out the character.
FELIPE NO |
I'm here, what do I have to do?
What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
You have been around, why did you just read this one now?
You have to draw a character that you made up, or representing you, doing something related to camping, or just having fun, or just standing around, it would be okay. Just one character, .PSD with transparency preferred, but not required. Use the background image I posted as guid line for what type of envirement that you want to put you character in and how you want them to interact with the background. If you want special accomndation for your character (like beach ball or a boat for the character to be in or ride on) in the background please make it know in the PM. For you Vemp, I would even color your character. Just get the image in as soon as possible. :3 Jam it back in, in the dark. |
