Hello! (Seeking Art Development!)

Post by Crux »

I just came across this game shortly after I got my laptop back with the awesome ubuntu OS. I must say, this game is very well done! I really enjoy the "pick up and drop about anything" feature. As for the squirrel? Genius! Fantastic game play.

I would really like to become part of the development process creating textures, models, environments, and pretty much anything that involves art development. I dont have much "game development" experience, mostly just played around with level editors (which I love doing), but I do have a strong artistic background, mainly traditional.

I dont have any recent examples of my work but feel free to check out my deviantart @ cruciata.deviantart. (Theres only a small amount of work there thats actually in my portfolio. I'll gladly send it to you for review.) I have quite a bit of free time these days, and I'm looking forward to creating lots of ideas and content.

Hope to hear from ya!

Welcome, and have a lightbulb! :idea:
We'd love your help.
Another thing you can do is make fanart.
Oh, and have a happy fencer guy with an electric anvil on his head from 5234, he's kinda busy right now. :teach:

Hello; welcome, and have a cookie! :cookie:
More help is always welcome.

...Oh, and I couldn't tell from what you said whether you do or not, but do make sure you have the latest version... A lot of people just have what was packaged with Ubuntu or however that goes, which is the super-outdated 2.22.

Hello Crux! I am certain the community can benefit greatly from more art skills :) Anything from skins, textures to concept art is useful!

Ah, a deviant!
Welcome to the forums fellow artist!
You should head over to the Fan Domain area. I think you'd like it there.
Oh, and I'm effit.deviantart.com.

Welcome aboard, and thank you for flying Air Egoboo.
Emergency exits are to the right end of the corridor, lunch is served at 14:30. The pilot is a zombie, so occasional crashes and swings may occur.
Please check in all of your worldly and otherworldly possessions, including your soul and any other souls that you may have on your person, to the vault for safekeeping. Thank you.

Cant get the latest version installed. Well, I dont know how, the readme is confusing... Im great with Windows but I'm new to Ubuntu... I got it to work once on my windows desktop. Wouldn't run again cuz some random SDL went missing for no apparent reason. Alotta hardware is toast in that thing...

Hmm... slightly off the topic, I noticed the topic is "Hello! (Seeking Art Development)" and if you change the last three words to letters it looks like "Hello! (SAD!)". :lol:
