CONCEPT ART TOPIC, Goals: Checkpoints, Goals

This topic obeys the same rules as all others, don't try to find loopholes etc.
But I haven't seen trouble makers in the other topics so I suppose these two lines are unnecessary. Proove me that I'm right on that one.



This topic is about CONCEPT ART.
You can't program?
You can't sprite?
You can't make music?
You can't design levels?
Or you can do all of those but want to do a bit more?
You are now our Concept Artist!

There will be a couple of topics in a list (below). You get the chance to DESIGN those things so spriters can base their sprites on that.
The list will include all kinds of things: Specific objects, levels, enemies etc.
You don't need to be a godly artist, you just need to be creative and your drawings need to be fairly recognizable.

Note: Just that you post concept art here doesn't mean that everything in the game will look the way you drew it. That's also why you can't claim points on the list for yourself. Everyone is allowed to draw his or her vision of the subject and the spriters and level designers will then choose what they like.


The higher on the list a thing is, the more important it is. If you are unsure which you draw, always take the one on top!

If you have suggestions to add to that list, please post here!

Any kinds of concept art based on the above list can be posted here. As said, creativity goes before quality (as long as it's possible to see what you wanted to draw)

You know what kind of style that would be nice to see?
Mario vs Donkey Kong-ish artwork

Examples JIC

I was thinking, for the logo, something like the Rayman Raving Rabbids logo, but with the games title, and the machine behind it, all in the letter styling of RRR.

I'd love to give the title a shot. I'll look into it.

If you want to draw in that style, go for it.
This is concept art for us developers, not for the outside, so it doesn't really matter what style we use.

not redoing, not editing.

Woah, awesome logo. =o

A machine sketch. Not supposed to be a final version of it, but just to give everyone an idea on how it could look.
Also the drawing really sucks.

Great job on that title; but as for the machine, does everything in the Mario universe need to have a face?

I like the face on the machine.
That opens the way for the Machine itself becoming the Über-boss after you beat Bowser and Syrup. Who's with me on that one?

Aye!

I'm in, else I wouldn't have drawn it

Sounds good, but after that, we still have the little mini-boss between the plumbers, right?

'f course.

Not very "Mario-y" text. You NEED "Mario-y" text for stuff like this.

Y'know, like the SM64 title font? THOSE letters.

I think this is a good idea, but the face shouldn't appear on it until the fight starts.

I think it looks GREAT, everything doesn't have to look mario style.

I agree with this.

Maybe a panel of flashing lights that form a face (out of lights)

youre kidding

Notice how they letters look similar

Am I still allowed to suggest a design for the machine? (My version - not drawn yet, only in my imagination - will still be good as a boss.)
