Fan art in the game!

July 30, 2013 - 1:10pm — Gooke6

Hello there!
I am Margo Putzeys, a student Game- and Digital Design and I am currently doing my internship with Tale of Tales. I am still studying but I will be entering my Master year next schoolyear.
For my internship Auriea Harvey and Michael Samyn asked me if I wanted to work with the players and make models and concept art together. And with great pleasure I accepted this of course! This means you will be able to add art to the game!

But there are some 'rules' attached to this: If you make a 3D model, pleas send it as an .OBJ file to me. But a .Blender file ( Blender's file extension ) would be even better! But a .OBJ is good as well! As for the concept art you can send a photoshop file, PNG of JPEG.

So what can you make? Well it's like a set that the deers can wear in the game! This set includes: a mask, antlers and a pelt. Both made for the adult deer AND the baby deer. You can (if some of you know how and want to) texture these models by using a UV map. If you do texture them, send texture files as a PNG. ( PNG supports transparancy )
But of course you are never obligated to making more than you like. The meaning of this task is also for me to make stuff, so if you only would like to make the adult deer's models, that's fine by me. I can always texture them, add models, etc.

So if any of you are interested in putting your art or 3D models in the game. Send them to me and I can adjust them if necessary or take a look if something needs to be changed and so on.
You can of course also send your concept art to me and I can realise that concept art into a 3D model which may have a chance to be put in the actual game: The Endless Forest!

My e-mail adres is : Margo.Putzeys@gmail.com. I hope I will be hearing soon from you guys!!

Greetings,
Margo

EDIT: from Michael and Auriea --
To be clear, we want Margo to do ALL of the modeling and ALL of the texturing. Because that is what her internship is about. YOU, players, are requested to send her concept art or point her to already existing concept art (on this very website, for instance). SHE can choose which concepts she models and textures. But WE, Auriea and Michaël, choose which go into the game. We hope there will be many!

I noticed that later on Apeldille, when I already had created it. Don't know if it means mine is unusable. But I will intend to make new stuff that isn't in the game

I like the new concept. I know there's a skeleton but it's a sharp one with bright colors on it. It would be nice to have a ghoulish ones without bright colors.....the perfect marriage between the BZD and the DotD.

ohmygosh I cannot even...! So

ohmygosh I cannot even...! So unbelievably excited and enthusiastic for this, I look forward hopefully to M&A confirming =D And when I'm feeling better I will would definitely love to make some concept art, though I don't really know much about texturing and nothing about modeling...

That is no problem, you can

That is no problem, you can just send in concept art and I can try to make the models and texture them

However seeing how much reactions I am getting I don't think I can make everyone's concepts so in the end I probably will have to choose

Perhaps we could vote for our favorite sets/concepts? Just an idea.

July 31, 2013 - 10:40am — BlueOrchid

Of course the people with the

Of course the people with the highest level of art skills would win all the votes, even if someone else has an awesome concept but just can't portray it themselves. I think it should be anonymous voting to make things a little more fair.

July 31, 2013 - 10:44am — Mis

There's nothing wrong with

There's nothing wrong with trying to not have Margo do every concept that is out there. Whichever one she finds interesting would be in my opinion the one that gets done. And I suppose M&A will have the final say over what get's in game. In the last round this happend, a few years ago, a few less "amazing" artist had their concept made into the game regardless. Because a good concept is a good concept, no matter the art style.

Not sure how anonymous voting would change people to not vote on the 'better art' though. If Margo/M&A would like a voting system, it'd be a voting system. Voting doesn't mean the one who doesn't win is 'not good enough'. But it'd make sense that the players of this game have a say as well, no? A form of input.
But again, not up to us. Nothing wrong with suggestions though.

Well said Mis. I don't choose because of better 'art' I choose the best concepts

And in the end M&A decide what gets in the game and what doesn't. This doens't necessary mean that the concept wasn't good of course

I wouldn't take it personally if anyone's concept wasn't picked.

Ah, that is very nice Margo,

Ah, that is very nice Margo, you did a good job. It does rather look almost exactly like a pelt we already have called the Nightfall Pelt? I think we would all like to see something different perhaps.

This maybe a useful link for you if you haven’t seen it already:
http://www.deviantart.com/art/Style-Your-Deer-166428229

It has all the pelts, masks and antlers currently available on the game. Except for the Zombie set and the Deer of the Dead (skeleton pelt) set. Might be good to look through those to see what already is available.

What a shame. Thank you so much for the link Sighthoundlady. I haven't seen the Nightfall Pelt before. But I see your point. It does look a like.
Next time I am going to try one of the pelts of Terabetha

By the way, I'd recommend looking at Terabetha's pelt designs found here for some ideas.

Hmmm, do you have permission to release the model, the UV maps, and the textures to the public? I might see what I can do for a pelt, after M&A confirm this (:

Also, came up with a beetle mask concept a while ago. Was fortunate enough at the time to have Jin draw it out:

August 1, 2013 - 9:03am — lin

Oh my god, I love this

Oh my god, I love this amazing mask concepts in Ravynn's comment.

August 1, 2013 - 10:14am — Meadows

Awesome, I will definitely

Awesome, I will definitely contribute some concepts then, though at the moment I'm sick and have a bunch of requests and art trades to do... do you have any idea how long you will be working with us on this or if there is any sort of deadline? By the way welcome to TEF <3! Maybe you'll make yourself at home here and become part of the community beyond what you're undertaking for your internship? c:

And to add on to what Sighthoundlady said, the dressup game also leaves out the candle and poppy antlers, and the crying idol pelt. There is also the devout pelt which can be gotten in-game and is pure white, and a few others that are creator-only and some that only be gotten at ABIOs, the luchador masks and the BAN (black as night I think) pelt, which doesn't stick. I think that's all of them... I assume that it's okay to submit less than a full set, like just a mask or mask and antlers design, or a pelt etc. We already have a few stand alone pieces such as the key antlers and nightfall pelt.

And yes another vote for one Terabetha's pelts, can't wait to see which one you pick =)

BlueOrchid: Ah I love cedar waxwings, and their pattern makes a pretty pelt design ^.^

Ravynn: That second one is amazingly gorgeous, and the first is so interesting and unique looking as well ♥ I'm not sure if I've seen anyone mention beetle inspired things before?

Those are really nice Ravynn!
The second one is really beautiful, I am wondering how I would be able to make that in 3D. Could you possibly draw a sideview of that one too? So I would have an idea how everything is attached to each other?

Keep up the good work!

I am hoping you will submit

I am hoping you will submit some art Meadow! I love the creativity of this Community

So answer your question: Normally my internship lasts untill the 31th of August. Which is still one month.
And thank you so much for the welcoming

I already feel a bit at home here. I really enjoy the art I get to see here and everyone has been really friendly so who knows. Maybe I will keep making stuff for TEF, just for fun. Maybe M&A wouldn't mind that and even enjoy it!

And to answer your second question: Yes! It's okay to submit stand alone stuff. Like just a mask or antlers or pelts. However if you do this I don't know if M&A would like to see it turned into a set. In which case I would have to make the sets complete and this would take more time ofcourse

I am planning on starting one of Terabetha's pelts right now! If you are wondering I choose : Speed Demon for now. But to be honest, there are so many there that are absolutly stunning. And I probably can't help myself from making more O_O haha

Is it okay to re-design one

Is it okay to re-design one that is already existing? Like the real deer mask? I think many people would love a variety of that same mask for those who are deer-faced.

August 1, 2013 - 3:48pm — Gooke6
