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!

Thank you very much! I took a look and you are right that the eyesockets are a bit lower on the mask than the eyes on the deer. I could try to put the mask a bit higher but it doesn't seem to bother me actually... So

Thank you for the answer! but also, it could bother us who are actually playing the game.. Cannot speak for others though, so it's only my opinion. :")

But the mask and the antlers together seem a bit...busy? If you get what I mean. I wouldn't have put that mask and that antlers together, but I like how the antlers look

And - if I get the time ofcourse- would like to make the antlers :3

Yea, I get what you're saying. I was having the same problem when I tried to draw the front view. The side view of the antlers is what popped into my head first. I have an idea of how it could work in mind, so I'll try to draw it out soon.

@Pegasicorn: This is the perfect example of what I go through when I design something that I have to create in 3D later. I always get a pop up in my head of the side or front view. But than, I have to imagine it in 3D and it's extremely difficult for me. I always make mistakes with the perspective and such. So in a way you are learning too! Which is great! ;D I would be happy if you tried to draw out how it would actually work in 3D, front and side view. Because these antlers are pretty special - in my opinion- :3

Well like i said, I like big masks, but you're right. It doesnt fit with those antlers. Also Im happy you liked that first one earlier. Thought, should I do fawn set it too. Maybe later.

You have done amazing job so far! ^^

@Necrosie: So happy to see

@Necrosie: So happy to see someone also made something for the fawns! AND, really thoughtful of you to make fawn line-art that other people also can use!

About the design: I like the playfull patterns on the pelt! But I would like to see it in another color. I am thinking something more powerfull. Something that gives it more character..? I don't know if you are getting anything I am trying to say..? But because of the lack of fawn pelts, I am happy to finally see one :3

Thank you very much Necrosie! If I remember correctly by first one earlier you meant this design: http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=idwxeb&s=5 ??
If you did, I would love to see a fawn set made for this one, because that would be first whole set made by a player AND I also would really much want to try to make it!

@sepi32014: I had a request

@sepi32014: I had a request for a dog-like concept before. I told that person that I thought it wasn't 'deer' like enough. It's not because I want to be unfair to this person- just to be clear- but I think your dog design is more deer-like. This person also had dog ears as horns and a dog pelt. I thought that design was really pretty but your design still has antlers and a sort of multiple usage pelt. So I like this design as well :3 Good job!

For a little while I am not

For a little while I am not going to give comments anymore. This is because there are just to much requests that I keep receiving and of course I love the fact that this community is so creative. But I almost can't get any work done, because I'm busy reading and typing comments all day

So I hope you guys won't get mad, but for now I will not be answering to the requests through mails and the requests on the forum. If anyone still posts any designs, I will still take a look at this forum during the day. But I won't comment anymore if I like it or not. I will however keep posting the things I am making. But don't be afraid that everything you make from now on won't get a chance, because it can. I will still look at it. I just can't keep spending half of my days posting comments the whole time

I'm very sorry for this. Don't let this discourage any of you!

Updated the 'Dead Cyborg Deer

Updated the 'Dead Cyborg Deer set'. On requests of a few players. I put the eyesockets a bit higher because it didn't correspond with the eyes of the deer. Also tried to make the mask look less flat by giving it more a wooden- texture feeling.

Love the antlers on that one Zeke! Could technically use default antlers and just add leaves and vines to them. Could work similar to the flowers in TEF, just add locations possibly to get the vines.

Oh, the defealut antlers with vines would be awesome! I always loved things to put on defealut antlers, a new thing to it will be much welcomed by my side!
Also if the Cyborg mask would go in the game... Jennie would soooo wear it. I love it so much XD

August 7, 2013 - 5:53pm — Zeke

That was what I was thinking!

That was what I was thinking! I drew them a bit different here as Margo said she wanted to create entirely new models but they would work perfectly on the original antlers. If they had enough leaves on them they might not even need full antlers, just the base part. Glad you like

Just curious but... deer

Just curious but... deer like? Half the sets in the game aren't deer related, so why would a shepherd set be any weirder? I mean, last time I checked birds aren't deer related, and a good portion of sets in the game are bird based.... same with the halloween sets and such... are there like, some sort of regulations for what we should and should not submit? And how is a black pelt with glowing neon yellow streaks 'deer like'?

Again not trying to be rude, but, I am trying to sort our your reasoning, as it don't make much sense to me C:

—

August 7, 2013 - 8:25pm — SoliloquyChryseis

I'm not sure about the

I'm not sure about the "deer-like" comment either, but I think I recall someone else mentioning a wolf/dog like concept being submitted in the past and it didn't make the cut. I could have read that wrong, but I would like to guess that has something to do with it? T_T;;;

are there like, some sort of regulations for what we should and should not submit?

I'm with OJM here for sure, any help would be super great!

Hey, just popping in here

Hey, just popping in here with some curiosity!

It looks like the markings on the model don't really have texture to it? Like.. the 'layer' beneath it has the fur and stuff, but then for example with the tie/white parts of your latest concept, it seems to be plain color. Just wondering if this is supposed to be like it is, or..? o:

—

August 7, 2013 - 8:37pm — SoliloquyChryseis

I don't think she added the

I don't think she added the texture yet to be honest, but yeah I noticed that myself.

I think possibly brushing it a bit to make it more fur-like rather than completely angular would make it seem more organic on the deer form. And of course adding the fur 'layer' as Silv mentioned!

August 7, 2013 - 8:40pm — Calyqsa

I believe in the past M&A

I believe in the past M&A rejected any predator idea, maybe that counts for deer looks too c:, I would love to see some predator-like looks, but I believe it collides with overall TEF aura...

August 7, 2013 - 8:43pm — Gooke6

I get your point. I didn't

I get your point. I didn't know how to put it into words so I used 'deer-like'. But what I meant was, that persons concept gave me the impression it was a deer dressed as a dog. And I'm not trying to sound rude I'm just being honest here. I liked the concept, yes. But I just didn't see it as something that would get picked either way. I just didn't think it fitted in the game well. That's what I meant with deer-like. But you are right that the dead cyborg deer set is also far from deer - like so I get your point. The biggest problem I had with that persons concept was that also the antlers were like big dog ears. I get the pelt and the mask, but having two pairs of ears just doesn't make sense to me.

So I hope this clarifies anything and deer- like was just a word I used because I didn't know how to put it into words. But yeah, I get the confusion

Just be a little careful! Because it seems like you're just picking what you yourself like, and not from what the community does! And isn't that what this is about : D ? I don't know if you have but take a bit to poke around the community, see what we're about and such! You may not think they'll be accepted but hey, we never know!

TEF tends to have out of the box ideas (this is a game where deer have people faces) so try to open up a bit more, ya' know?

I'm picking what I like myself of course. That's what I am suppose to do. Pick what I like to model it :/ And personally I'm open for anything. I did like the concept. But those were my first thoughts when I saw it. That there was a bit to much of the dog-thing in it.

...And I will add the texture

I think we should just let

I think we should just let Margo choose what she feels best. I mean, she is the ToT intern, not us. I'm sure she knows much more about what M&A are more likely to accept than we do.

All we can do is give input and make numerous concepts of all kinds, natural and unnatural, to give Margo more ideas on what M&A would accept to their game. The more the better.
