I like deadspread's idea about the backgrounds from an earlier post...here is a quote :D

"I think it would be neat if as the character gets closer to the final bosses, the ground changes, like if its a standard dilapidated urban sprawl that gives way to a more volcanic look, the the earth/pavement cracking and showing whats underneath. Kind of a way to transition from the vehicle based enemies to the more biblical badass monster enemies"-deadspread

I don't think he should have a name...I am working on a concept for a motorcycle now I will post it in a bit

and that barrel looks much better :D

How about instead of on foot he's on a badass motorcycle????

And here's a barrel/drum thing I drew that could have toxic waste come from it once it is destroyed or something along those lines, or it could just be used as a blockade.

You have to think about the perspective....how would a barrel look for a birds eye view.

Who the hell would I use a sample in an art forum collab lololol

hmm???...That is a good looking flame. Look at the way it moves and reacts then draw your own.

I am still not completely sold on this guy walking around as the main character...You are going to be looking at his back the whole time...I just think it is silly that he would just shoot up...It would be different if he would be able to do a 360 degree turn...the game is also going to be constantly moving, pushing the player foreword so even if the character is standing still the stage will still be moving...it sounds like a real bed Atari game.

The game engine is being built for a ship...but whatever.

Maybe in the story the guy has some sort neurological problem from the nuclear fallout that makes it impossible for him to turn his body :D

Also...3 frames for an explosion??? In a 60fps game...will the human eye even pick that up?

More thoughts later :)

He is a nice sample for you. http://www.cartoonsolutions.com/store/pr oduct.php?productid=16257

About the perspective...I think that it would add to the look of the game if we made things look like they have more dimension but I understand that it would be harder for the less experienced artists and I believe that this should be a project for everybody and I wouldn't want to make it harder for people.

I think that this type of game is harder to make look good than a side scrolling game...

About the background...There is only going to be one background, the ground. Everything is going to move at the same speed...

More thoughts to come in a bit :D

We need to talk about the angle...is this going to be completely top down???

Cool! I like it.

A player on foot sounds cool but did you run it by BoMToons first... if the character is going to be on foot he is going to have to be able to move 360 degrees or it would be lame. BoMToons may not want to do the extra work for just one level...

I think that it would be silly to have a man walking around and all you can do is shoot forward...

No... I think if we are going to do the mad max thing there should be people on foot too...ugly people wearing leather throwing things and sporting purple mohawks.

I have flash...I drew that in flash then put the texture on in photoshop.

Here is a concept I drew up for a possible ship...it is like a hang glider with a single person helicopter...

WIP

Hope it's looking better

You need to think about the perspective here...those treads are going to have to go all the way to the back of the vehicle. The front is a little to high and that is making the turret look like it is hanging downwards...nice detail thou...

So that brings me to the question...are we going to do this as a full top-down game or are we going add a little dimension to it???

Also, I did the same thing yesterday, but the drawings all have to be top down. I was cracking away on a sketch when I realized it, and had to re-do it. Glad I'm not the only one :)

This is a WIP...I try not to draw drunk but this was fun :D

I drew it like that because it was really just a concept. But I was thinking about that as a drew it.

Hello team...

I think this level should be more like a Mad Max-ish post apocalypse. Normal looking vehicles modified into war machines.

This is a WIP...I try not to draw drunk but this was fun :D

Sorry team I cant get on aim tonight but ornery I think you are the best candidate for team leader so you have my vote :D

Blender is a cluster f@#k compared to Max, Maya or XSI...it sucks! People say it's good just because it's free.

Your stuff looks good but you a doing yourself a disservice by not upgrading to a better program.

Umm...yeah...you can use Illustrator....

I've never used illustrator so it would not matter. To the original Poster I think you might want to consider experiment with different tools for interesting marks. Kind of Set the oppacity level low to work on other layer's later on leaving the transparency low so you could see it clearly.

I wasnt really replying to you but...Illustrator is a very powerful program...So, if you(i am talking to OMG now) did you outline in illustrator why not just color it in illustrator.
