Want to feature your artwork in my game?

[Borghi]

hello!
I think this should have been posted in the classified section but I was afraid very few people would read it there.

As some of you know I'm making a full game with my chars. For those of you that don't know who the fuck I am, here are some images:

http://andresborghi.com.ar/mugen/wip.htm

The thing is that my game will have a reward system in team mode. This is: If you beat the game in SIMUL vs SIMUL, you'll be rewarded with a piece of artwork (winrared with a password that you will earn once you win). This sums 21 wallpapers counting every possible combination of the 6 characters so I came here to ask you nice people if any of you want to make some artwork for my game

I'm making most of them but since it's me making them all they are turning very much alike. I got some "fan artwork" that Kung fu man found in some weird japanese forum and added them to the collection (sadly I can't know who made them to give credits) and XED made 1 too.

So, if any of you is interested please make me know (this is one of the very few things left to finish the game). As the artworks (actually 1024 x 768 wallpapers) are suppose to be secret since you earn them by making the game, I think you shouldn't post it here... but I don't know yet, let me know first.

Here are some examples:





As you see it's kinda freestyle, you can make them the way you want. The only requiremente is that they look good.

¿Algún voluntario?  

EDIT:
here you have some info on the game:

the name of the game is THE BLACK HEART

MAIN STORY (narrated in the opening of the game)

There is another world apart from ours. A world that was once beautiful but now is a hostile place ruined by war and hate. A blood stained world. Humans have ignored the existence of this other world because their destinies have never been bound to it. But that is about to change since the king and creator of the other world has been murdered. His strenght and will had disapeared as the time passed but that didn't change the fact that within him the incredible power that allowed him to create that other world still existed. Because of that he was attacked by an entity called Final: A powerful creature emerged from the infinite chaos that exists in the space between both worlds. In a signle move he ripped the king's heart and ran away with it to the depths of chaos. It is told that the one that succeeds at freeing the power within the heart will be given an extraorinady strength, a power that could end with all that exists if it falls in the wrong hands.


THE OTHER WORLD

Now, the story of the chars:


HASHI
------

BIG IMAGE: http://borghi1.free.fr/cosas/m-hashi.jpg

Hashi belongs to an ancient race of wood men who were the main workers that shaped and constructed our world. Now they are almost extinguished and live in a secret and magical forest in "Tierra del fuego" in south Argentina. Hashi was banished from the forest for his constant hate and violent actions toward humans who he thinks are a menace for our world and not the true inheritors of this world as he is contantly told. As the heart of the king of the other world i stolen the nature of the magical forest starts turning red as a dark prophecy for our world. Malen, the leader of his race calls him back to go to the chaos between worlds to kill Final and end the menace that threatens earth since he is the only one of his race with enough strenght and warrior instinct to achieve the mision. He is accompained by Bako who has the ability to teleport to carry hashi to the chaos.

HASHI AND BAKO

NOROKO
--------

Noroko is a ghost that lies dormant within an ancient japanese doll. The doll is owned by a doll collector atracted by the stories of the ghost in the doll (which he has never seen). When the heart is stolen the huge power emanated from it awakens the gjost who scapes the doll and kills the collector. Noroko travels through the worlds searching the heart hoping its power can end his suffering and grudge.

PEKETO
-------

BIG IMAGE: http://borghi1.free.fr/cosas/m-peketo.jpg

Peketo is a lunatic kid obsessed with color red. His father was a violent man who practiced occultism and beat the crap out of the kid. Peketo secretly learned occultism spying on his father. One day he accidentally opened a portal to the other world and was amazed by the red in the place and the power of the king that could be felt far away. The portal closed and he was brought back to earth to his dissapointment. Obsessed with that new world he started killing people cause the red of the blood was the only red similar to the one of the other world. he killed his father and many more people before being captured and incarcelated in an assylum. Once there he was visited by a man that claimed to be the brother of one of his victims. the man killed Peketo and decapited him. Then he came to life in the form we know him thanks to the many pacts he had made with the dead when he was practicing occultism. He starts seeking the heart to have that wonderful power.

ANIMUS
-------


Animus is locked inside an iron maiden in the other world. Back in the year 1605 a troop of soldiers of the other world was sent here to capture that Iron maiden which was hidden in the basement of a huge castle in Transilvania. They didn't know what there was inside it but they only followed the order of the prince of the other world, son of the king. Once in the other world it was put under strict vigilance in a prison for order of the prince and left there. When the game starts he if freed from the Iron maiden by a strange power and he kills all the soldiers in the prison. He is told by Final (the Final boss who talks to him telepaticly) that he has to go to the chaos and meet him. he reveals that his is Animu's father and will tell him all about who he is since Animus has no memory of his life. Animus attacks by creating rusted weapons that come from the floor and tortures himself because he only wants to die but that doesn't happen since he seems to be inmortal.


ANIMUS AND THE IRON MAIDEN

SHAR-MAKAI
------------

BIG IMAGE: http://borghi1.free.fr/cosas/m-shar-makai.jpg

Shar-makais are a race of worm monsters born in chaos. They were captured by the son of the king and brought to the other world to become the new soldiers of the other world. he tamed them, changed their bodies and bent their minds so they become loyal to him. when the king is killed the prince sends his army of Shar-makais to recover the heart.


ANANZI
-------

BIG IMAGE: http://borghi1.free.fr/cosas/m-viuda%20negra.jpg

Ananzi is the daughter of the prince (the murdered king is her grandfather). She hates the Shar-makais because she hates the chaos and everything born from there. She is beautiful and can't stand ugly things like monsters although she herself can transform into a giant spider (we could say she still thinks she is beautiful as a spider). When the prince sends his army of shar-makai to recover the heart she argues with him because she wants her father to treat her like a loyal soldier. she trained all her life to serve his father cause she loves him and hates that her place is being occupied by some weird creatures from the chaos. He apologies and asks her to go for the heart too so she can demostrate her true power.

I volunteer. I am currently working to improve my anatomy and proportions. IMO my art looks better currently than you will find on my comic in my sig.

It would make good practice. Can you show us whom all we need to draw? I'd like to see what my options are.

EDIT: @ walt: Think we should sticky this topic? Considering the work the author has done on all the sprites, it would make sense to give this thread "special treatment" under this circumstance. We can post the pics here for critique purposes to improve.

[Borghi]

interesting. OK, there's no problem on showing the images here so everyone can give its opinion and make some good walls.
you will be spoiled on the wallpapers but yet there's a lot of people thet doesn't know this forum and I mean to make my game reach as far as possible and way beyond the mugen community.

I'll prepare a list of the characters and a little of backstory so you know what to make. It won't be a lot of info cause you know I hate spoilers and my game has some deep stories for each char with lots of twists and surprises.

[JustNoPoint]

I suggested that mostly to make it fit in the Graphics section better. And I wouldn't mind walt and others scrutinizing my art so I can see where I should improve more. Kind of a little help for both of us. I get practice and feedback. You get endings

I assume most others with artistic talent may want feedback as well. The "more important" endings you can ask to keep private. And/or after a week or so we can remove the images from the thread. Just brainstorming here.

good, I like it
you have good skills by the way. 

I edited the first post and added a crapload of info on the chars and the game. Anything you want to know just ask. I reserve the right to answer in the thread or personally or not at all. 

[JustNoPoint]

Do you wish to direct what is happening in the image? Or are you wanting a simple pin up?

I didn't know if the endings needed to be somewhat story related. Alternatively I could even make a 1 page comic as the endings if you like. In which case you can give me a small script to work with.

[CookDaXapper]

excellent; my daughter 6yrs, loves your chars Noroko and SHAR-MAKAI. it would be a pleasure to somehow contribute to so awesome a creator's work.
first what is our time table? oops i'm sorry you can see some of my art on http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewPicture&friendID=292502153&albumId=641193
if you think that my style could fit just give me your preference and i'll get to work.

Actually, these arew not the endings for the chars in the game. The endings are earnes in arcade mode and look like this:


These wallpapers here are just pieces of artwork that the player can unlock. So they can be story realted or not, like this one:


like a movie, you know, for example Harry Potter and the blablabla. You can dload a wallpaper of the movie where Harry is pointing his stix thing to the camera and that's all. You can make it however you like.

OMG! those are great!
I'd love to have a wall from you!
About the time, it depends on how many time takes me to finish the other things in the game (I still have 2 endings to finish and some other stuff). So, let's say there's no inmediate rush. But if I start getting close I'll make you know.

V-- You can invert it with teh shops. I don't like it, let's see what Borghi says.

[Marancv]

la fuente que usé tiene la "Z" inversa

[Borghi]

Marancv:
Very good! I like it! It only lacks the thing she has in the neck like some kind of metal neck. I see that maybe you tried to make it but it doesn't look that well. If you want you can send me the psd and I'll add it for you. who is the girl in the picture?

That's right. Inverting an R or K is not a problem but a Z looks like an S or at leasts can bring confussion.
