Title Art?

Post by bgbirdsey »

I was thinking of putting K'Nife in the foreground, fighting with the snake.

I actually like the current title image, but maybe this could shrunk down and used as a sign or painting on a mesh tile?

The basic design came off some cobra patch. I changed some details to make it more like a realistic snake, and changed the coloring to be like a Pharoh's death mask.

Maybe a version of this snake could be related to Sand Weg? That is supposed to have an Egyptian theme. hmmmm.....

I like it, it's cool.
But something about it just doesn't fit right with the other icons... I dunno.

I think it's ok, but what about putting like a desert at the back of the picture? (behind the snake)

All of the original art is shaded, and cartoony. It is a bit more rounded and blobby than this pic, but how could you make a snake blobby?

If the number of colors was reduced and grain was added to the pic, I think it would fit in very well with Aaron's original art. IMO

There is already a module for Sand Weg, but it is empty. Also, the pyramid is way too small.

Neat style.
Could be used in the new manual or something.
(Yes, I know there are probably few people who think we need a new one. But you will agree when it is done.... Well, actually, I should START it first.)

Yeah, that's what I was thinking.

That's cool! :) I will soon upload Angel I drew. It need background, though. Soon, soon. This day or tomorrow.

I want to show off too. :D

I came up with a way to use models in title art that mimics the original style very well:

Opinions?

@Chainsaw

I used that method for a while, too. You can get screencaps from Jonathan's model viewer and composite a bunch of different pieces together.

I tried using in-game screencaps, but the camera is not good enough! :(

I have a sketch tablet, and I finally found a program that is easy to use (OpenCanvas v1.1). I would LOVE it if I could get the wacom tablet to interface with GIMP, but there is some strange problem.
