Concept Art Thread

A waterfall, do you think there could be creatures like angle fish in the game?

You mean the cave angel fish? I don't see why not.

Are we still allowed to post any sort of concept art on here? I may have something to post here soonish, but it probably won't be that good. Compared to the other pictures, at the least. I was wanting to try something my sister does on GIMP, but I wasn't sure what, and then I thought:
"I know a Concept Art Thread that needs bumping!
-Waap.

Sure, as long as it's related.

Well then, here's this.



It's just a rough sketch yet to be cleaned up or shaded. IMO, it still looks too generic, and the muscles make it look almost too human. Maybe I should work on a few environments...

The muscles are placed logically, and the sketch looks good. Try to make more detailed sketches next.

Not a fan of the feet. Are they hooves?

Sort of spiked hooves, yes. I know they're not very clean, I still have some unerased parts there from me trying to explore ideas for feet. Any suggestions? Maybe more like some sort of cross between a paw and a hoof? I'll try and think of something soon anyway.

Ah, I can see it on the back feet now. I like the back feet, but the forelegs look like the claws won't support it's upper body.

Perhaps it's bipedal/semi-bipedal?

^ I wouldn't be sure about that with the hip and back musculature, scio.

Making a new forum background. All I need to do is decide what to put in the foreground.

A concept creature?


To be honest, it's a bit ocean-orientated for me. I'd prefer a forum background that encompasses the entire game. Which encompasses the whole world. And all of time. So a forum background that encompasses all of reality. Now that's a task. Anyone up for it?

Or, could we have different backgrounds for sections of the forum?

I don't think we can have different backgrounds for different sections, but I'll look into it. I'd just like to freshen up the look of the forum every once in a while.

Hmmm.... anyone else have any high-res landscapes lurking about? We could switch them out every month or so.

About that background... I'm making a tentacled concept creature called the Icthyovoric Lurer. It has grooves on the tips of its 4 tentacles used to catch fish. Why not add one of those tentacles in the water, with a sort of alien lobster struggling to pull itself off?

If you can draw me something up, i'll see what I can do. I'm going to consider all possibilities for the centerpiece.

@scio:

Here it is!

I can work with that. What about having it floating on the surface?

Or on a low branch... Possibly the Carcass of one fallen off a branch.

I personally like it. The current background is where everything ends, and the one you have is where it all begins. Not that my love of the ocean biases me at all.

As far as Thriv's bug-thing goes, it's definitely not life as we know it. I'm curious to know what those tentacles look like in motion. Also, scio, are you done with the centerpiece yet? I know you were working on it, so if it's done we'd like to see it.

It's proving difficult, but yes, i'm working on it.
Critique. (the image host lowered the quality a bit.)

That is some kind of epic. I think this should be a background. Nao

Seconded. You should get a prize for this.

I thought you were afraid of stingrays?
