Does anyone draw shitloads of concept art when designing and developing new games. I know I do =P

What's FBF, Strop?

Also, I'm still confused as to what qualifies as concept art.

I would imagine concept art would entail anything that displays a concept while utilizing some sort of art .

*wonders why moderators are more prone to spamming in the art forum* Seriously, I flagged that one, Flipski...

But okay. I can find something then...
I know this thread started out being about concept art for games, but... Meh. If it's used for pen&ampaper roleplay, it counts too?

I was designing a specie, so doodled a lot of shots of them down~

That's not half bad art strop, even though furry isn't my thing, but can you animate that in flash? Importing various images for animating can lag the game, but drawing and shading in vector is a different thing all over.

Also, the shading is hand drawn in photoshop too, it's not a dynamic engine shading. This is for a flash game.

Ack, wrong thread. Nice creatures Zophia, I'm always trying to think up new ones, for this game is set in an alien amazon jungle.

Sounds just like something I'd like to take a closer look at~
And thank you.

Furthermore I don't think it'd be appropriate for me to post the full concept sketching process from start to finish. You could say that the image I posted was...hm, it was a byproduct of the 3rd draft.

Zophia:

FBF = Frame-by-frame i.e. the way we've been drawing our .gifs, as opposed to tweening. I have a strong preference for this kind of animation.

Rollie, to quote myself:

I obviously wouldn't be able to draw her like this in the game as it would take me years to get even a single scene of FBF done.


I don't have flash yet so I have no idea how it will look in vector. I wouldn't dare think of importing the images either as I imagine that the game I'm using will involve a fair amount of camera-scripting (another "on the to-do list" item), so naturally I assume I will redraw from scratch when the time comes.

@Strop:
Ah, right. Memory fail on my part.

This all reminds me off some game graphics I'm supposed to be working on.... [lazy]
