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!
Ooh! I agree! The owl set

Gray Taboar
hmm, well.. trying out again >_>
^ Love those Taboar concepts
Wow, this is so exciting! I wish your intership was longer, but hey, better a bit than none. I'm glad community is going to be involved in development once more. 8D
Took a stab at making a concept
Based on a painting I made last year in school, it's not exactly what I wanted but eh what the hell. Forgive the white background. ;-;
I love all the concepts here, and Margo, you're doing an amazing job!
ROFL, a potato, that's
Hah, love the new concepts, btw. The last one looks awesome, like for Halloween! Love these dark eyes.
Ehehehe, here's a (sloppily
Sorry for all that sloppines, I did it with a mouse and really quickly, I have to go somewhere soon! *ahem*mybirthday*ahem* Lol.
Basic idea: Antlers about the size of monarch antenae antlers,, pelt dotted with green potato "eyes", socks on legs supposed to symbolize the roots? I might add a mask!
Ugh, such a mess, though. I blame the mouse, I hardly work with it...
I swear guys, Ill make it look pretty later x.x
Jennie; Thank you! Yeah they
RoktDog; Rofl, potato deer! I think it looks great. Happy Birthday, by the way <3
Yes they do! And Happy
I was honestly expecting a
Teeny Requite by Dapper.
Heehee thanks for the
And hmm, potato antlers!? Sounds amazing! I just thought sprouts might be more potato-y when coupled with the pelt
So nice concept ideas so far.
Fox -set concept, I would be happy see some foxes in the forest.
Aaand Mandarin Duck -set . It would be something different and it has bright colors :I .
I would love to see foxes in
This thread's been dead for a
Working on the Egito set at
Oooh, Egito set? That one
That's Thais' Egypt set,
.. ohmygosh, the one with the
Ah my heart! I am so excited
Thanks Margo and also you guys for the nice feedback!
So..the Egito set should be
So it's the complete set for adult deer. Thais told me that 'Egito' means Egypt in portuguese. So the set is inspired by Egyptian masks. Also the texture I have used on both the antlers and the mask is the texture of Egyptian Marble. I put Egyptian symbols on the mask like they were engravings as detail :3
..OMMMGGG THAT EGITO SET ;;
Dear M&A
Please accept this set or I will cry a river and get arthritis. >:
Love, Hern.
OMG that mask is to die for!!
Wow, Margo! That set is
And aww no Xems you don`t want arthritis man/gives pills
EDIT: Pfft, got ninjaed. |D

Absolutely love the Egito
The Egito set was a nice
Right now I believe that the pelt you have now might be too dark. Referring back to the original concept, the yellows were a light cream color, so brightening the hooves and chest area would give it a much richer look. I also think it would benefit if you added a lighter purple/maroon shade around the areas that the Egito concept had, because at the moment it seems a bit dull with only 2 colors (brown and a dark yellow) opposed to the original (shades of purple, dark gray, bright creamy yellow).
I think the antler texture looks great, but I'm not too sure about the mask - I think the texture you used almost makes it look broken/shattered? Maybe someone else could give better advice on that since I don't know much about that. Side view angles of the mask look great, though at other angles it seems a bit flat? Extending the muzzle might help with that.
Quote:Right now I believe
Actually, the purple is already in there It's just the screenshots that look so dark. But I can indeed lighten the purple in the pelt and the yellow. Maybe it would be more visible than
Personally, I don't think it looks shattered or broken at all so And it's not that I don't wanne change something for the players because I do, but I also think that the flat feeling you get in the front view is because of the way I took the screenshot and probably some of the perspective. Since it's clear in the side views that the muzzle of the mask is long enough
BUT, thank you very much for your advice alcinda ;D
My heart skipped a beat when
Man, I deeply regret missing all of this now. This is so exciting! All of the models you've made so far are gorgeous, Margo! It's impossible to pick which one I like the most.
I'll be sure to keep an eye on this. Looking forward to any future updates! ♥
More creamy yellow and more
These are awesome O3O though
Margo; I still can't get over
Oh gosh this new set is
