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!
Same here! Love that set so
.
Oh this looks so awesome
Wonderful! ♥
That swan is gorgeous, it
Just wondering, do we comment our concepts, or e-mail them?
Altho I am not responding at
Ok, thank you, I just wasn't
Anyways, here's something I just did pretty quick, so its not great.
Turkey pelt, inspired by a stuffed turkey toy I have. C:
swan... swan..? swan! (i
swan..?
swan!
(i remembered ravynn's blog lol)
That swan set looks amazing,
Loving that swan set.
I concur with that swan set.
I REALLY hope it makes the final cut into the game. I'm gonna have to make some new character to match these new pelts once they're approved and put in.
hope hope hope hope hope hope!
So I updated the swan antlers
Omg those antlers...You did
Jin should see it. You did
That swan set looks awesome!
Also uploaded the sideview to my concept blog.. Got lazy with that tho.. click
Gonna make the fawn versions too soon, but I have a busy weekend so i can start maybe on sunday (:
Yes! The swan set looks
the antlers are perfect
Wonderful work!
Awesome work, Margo! The swan
Could I suggest something? Pandoras made a good point about creating a bend to the antlers, but I also feel that perhaps the antlers are "too tall" (the long part where the antler meets the head). I think it makes it look just a tad awkward, so perhaps bringing it down/cutting down a bit would make it look more natural? Otherwise you did an awesome job, the tines look good! I can see an improvement with your work.
gaah. margo these sets are
annnd ( forever late to the party ) I would really love to see sepi32014's canine design implemented.
you guys all have such amazing design ideas, by the way. ;A; the amount of creativity here is mind blowing.
omg I'm SO stalking this too
I'd love to see some sort of caribou antlers in the game... and I'm really loving Necrosie and Soliloquy's concepts.
For my part, I'm against predator-like sets.. it's not that I don't like the designs, I just don't think they'd fit very well in TEF... just voicing my opinion.
gahhh so excited with all of this... That swan set ! ;u;
scooting my butt on in and
That swan pelt is
And so, brought some winter set ideas
This one was made by Rahbop long ago but I still love it! <3
And this one was made by me ... not that good :I the pelt was based by bobcat's winter coat.

I would like something
So something from me: Also
Also used Moss' template. There is no real mask, only kind of diadem.
Can't believe I've been
Fantastic job on Jin's swan design, Margo! All my votes for that piece getting into the game!
Would be nice if we could see a black version of it, too; think Jin might've drawn it once. Maybe with a little red somewhere to steer clear of it resembling the BAN pelt?
Amazing! I would like to see

Read my mind, ladycakes ♥
Definitely would be beautiful, a black swan version.
Also adore Cradlecap and DinahMoon's concepts (mushroom and orchid themed).
Just a very quicky. and a
I hope this is ok? Oh and fab designs from everyone I wish I had more time to play right now.
NyjerSokar: Just commented on
Love the antlers! Hoping we get Fallow deer and caribou antlers
Did something again. Template
'Iris Butterfly'
By the way, great set idea, Nyjer!
Yay, Jennie! I love this one!
Awwww, thank you!! ((:
There are some great concepts
Margo, I sent you an e-mail. I hope you are enjoying your internship and are learning much!

Have you tried contacting her on Tumblr yet?
If not, I can drop it off to her inbox and see what she says. (:
All these concepts and ideas.
Red deer have, in my opinion,
Pelt-only and wing-antler variation here.
Also, Hornsby Spider:
ihatespidersahmg but thought these guys were pretty
Mask is the abdomen (I got a little lazy and copy/pasted), antlers are similar to fallow antlers with hollowed out portions (like a web)
how many a fun concepts! we
Here's the Barn Owl concept I
Here's the Barn Owl concept I made, mostly for the mask but I made a pelt to go with it. (And I just saw that Aivilo also made a barn owl concept. Oops, sorry!)

Hey, Margo, a quick
_lioness_, please don't use
Teeny Requite by Dapper.
I actually like yours better,
Besides, not like we can call 'dibs' on inspiration, lol.
TEF so needs a barn owl set.
That barn own concept, yes.
magnanimous , I'm sorry but I

Update on the Swan set :>
I like it more this way.
Awesome! I can see this
The improvements are really
Not sure if you're still accepting advice on the swan set? But the only thing I can point out is that the black marking on the face looks a little flat in comparison to the white on the rest of the body, like it's lacking the fur detail that's used everywhere else? Not sure how to explain, but if there's layers used in this it looks as though the marking has been placed over a fur detail layer or somethingg? I've noticed this with the additional markings, but otherwise, this and the others are looking really gorgeous! I definitely hope this set makes it through, and it's nice of you to be doing this for us and taking in our input. ♥
oh my how exciting!! i just
