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!

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!

Very nice. Those antlers are
I heard earlier that someone
Is this flamingo fabulous enought?
//Edit: @Margo, I think that last one was better, now it looks like a bit messy.. :I
Swan is lovely, Margo. You
That swan set is coming along
Sapphire, I don't see how
I don't see how the texture should be uniform from tip to toe. Isn't the fur/fuzz/w-e of tef deer's face supposed to be way softer, anyway? Looks like it is skin, in-game.
Margo,
The area surrounding the eyes is always the most expressive, so this version took on a different mood. The previous is more neutral and follows the lines of the original concept.
Personally, I'd choose this one for antlers, since the game seemed to gravitate towards stockier/heavier spells for a while, and that version is real slender, perfect for a change of pace.
The red panda pelt by
eeeeeee that looks amazing.
asdf!! love it!!!
Love the red panda pelt!
The swan set looks awesome!
Love the edits you made to
And that red panda pelt is gorgeous! Though I think it may need some definition on the nose, when you look at it from the front it looks almost nose-less. And other parts of the face like the white and black could use some texture so it doesn't look quite as flat. Other than that it's a very pretty pelt and I'd love to see it in-game.
I appreciate that you're taking the time to make edits/consider our constructive criticism and whatnot.

Beautiful work on the red
Kind of liked the flat

P.S.: "flamingo" by Necrosie is fantastic *_*
... oh my GOD THIS IS A THING
Ohhh maaan this is WAY too exciting, the models I've see so far look absolutely BEAUTIFUL!
May add a suggestion or two of mine eventually.. but for now, sitting back and watching ;; <33
edit; still totally blown out of the water by these beautiful sets. The swan, "speed demon" and red panda sets are my favourite. I'm a huuuge fan of natural patterns and tones so this is right up my alley. That being said.. I'm equally hopeful that tie and / or the cyborg set will be added to the game as well!
Also popping in to STRONGLY support the "natural" antlers! Caribou, fallow, you name it, I've been really really hoping for more natural antler types. Maybe some ram and / or ibex horns as well? I don't thing they'd be too difficult but they would be a great addition.

Much better! I'm looking
Oh my gosh OuO you translated

Wow, I love the Red Panda
Maybe it could be just slightly, slightly, slightly darker? Though that doesn't much matter to me really. Also the Swan set is a wonderful job, I love the white, yet not albino pelt, I think many characters will find it useful, and those awesome whitetail antlers! As someone seemed to say, they appear wicked, but that's wut makes them cool! And to talk about the mask, I most like how tiny and detailed is it <3
But I still like most the Dead Cyborg set. ^^; Jennie would so so wear the mask!!
Also, browsing thought the Internet I stumbled over these antlers. It might be interesting to see them in the game~!
Anyway, new concept art from me coming soon!
Oh man, what a cool project
This is awesome, I'll

Ahh, I like that Inky Koi

My God that koi set is
That is so cool! Nice work.
Oh my gosh, this was really
You translated it beautifully, I just- wow! Regardless of whether or not it becomes a final piece to the game, I am extremely honored you'd turn one of my designs into a model.
Thank you so much, Margo, it looks stunning! Just thank you for this honor!
So neat seeing that koi pelt
