I am working on a top-secret project that will be revealed sometime in the near future, and you, yes YOU have a chance to be a part of it! I am looking for people to create signatures for every single unit in Starcraft and Starcraft: Brood War. If your unit gets taken, don't worry: You will probably have a chance sometime later to make the SC2 version of it! But right now I only need the original units. However, you may also sign up for additional heroes, but to do a hero, you must first do a normal unit. Heroes are not required for the project to be completed. Here are the reqs for every signature: The main focus must be the unit you signed up for. It does not necessarily have to be signature-esque, but must be some sort of visual art pertaining to the chosen unit. The art must be in color. It must be 259x155 pixels (there will be a 1-pixel wide black border around it, so don't worry about borders). It may contain the artist's signature, logo, or any unique mark. Sign-Ups: Protoss: Probe- Zealot- Dragoon- High Templar- Dark Templar-ShdwyTemplar Observer- Reaver- Shuttle- Scout- Carrier- Corsair- Arbiter- Archon- Dark Archon- Nexus- Assimilator- Pylon- Gateway- Forge- Cybernetics Core- Shield Battery- Photon Cannon- Robotics Facility- Stargate- Citadel of Adun- Robotics Support Bay- Fleet Beacon- Templar Archives- Observatory- Arbiter Tribunal- Zerg: Larva- Drone- Zergling- Hydralisk- Lurker- Defiler- Ultralisk- Mutalisk- Devourer- Guardian- Scourge- Queen- Overlord- Broodling- Infested Terran- Hatchery- Extractor- Creep Colony- Spore Colony- Sunken Colony- Evolution Chamber- Spawning Pool- Hydralisk Den- Lair- Spire- Queen's Nest- Hive- Greater Spire- Nydus Canal- Defiler Mound- Ultralisk Cavern- Terran: Space Construction Vehicle[SCV]- Marine- Firebat- Medic- Ghost- Vulture- Goliath- Siege Tank- Wraith- Valkyrie- Battlecruiser- Dropship- Science Vessel- Command Center- Supply Depot- Engineering Bay- Barracks- Refinery- Missile Turret- Academy- Bunker- Comsat Station- Nuclear Silo- Factory- Armory- Starport- Science Facility- Machine Shop- Control Tower- Physics Lab- Covert Ops- Special: Khaydarin Crystal- Uraj Crystal- Khalis Crystal- Overmind Cocoon- Overmind- Overmind Shell- Mature Chrysalis- Cerebrate- Crashed Norad II- Beacon- Flag- Ion Cannon- Psi Disrupter- Power Generator- Warp Gate- Stasis Cell- Xel'Naga Temple- Missile Trap- Gun Trap- Flame Trap- Psi Emitter- Data Disc- Mineral Field- Vespene Geyser-
I am requesting people to make signatures, drawings, graphic art, photos of models... whatever, any visual artwork for units. These images will be used in the Secret Project. :O O: Boring screenshots from google will fill in for any unit that does not get picked by somebody. Also, remember that you may sign up for as many as you like!
FINE! I'll reveal the project. It's a SC TCG (Starcraft Trading Card Game). In other TCGs, they hire artists to make the cards, I thought it would be fun to do the same thing here, except volunteer-style.
So do you want actual card designs or signatures/images/etc. that you'd place into your own card template? I'd probably be up for a few, but I'm not sure what you want.
Yes, any image created by you guys (or me, or google search ) will be the image used in the card. I already have a very basic template, with an image I googled. http://img175.imageshack.us/img175/6799/protossprobeis5.png is the link. Any questions about the actual system, please hold off until I organize it, and have a little chat with ximni for ideas. XD
Well for this kind of thing it'd be better to go with just one style, because I think unity is important in a 'deck' of cards. That's a render with a black background, so everything else should look like that, in my opinion. I'd also go with a bit more interesting background for the stats and layout, but that might already be on your to-do list.
If you look at other TCGs, you will notice that different artists do each of the images... (and have their own little logo-signatures in the corners... look closely!) and that each artist has his own style. Note that these are not inified as a deck of playing cards, but these are Trading Cards. Collectibles. As for more interesting backgrounds, yes, that's on my to-do list. EDIT: Oh, and that probe is just an example because I wanted to just see how it would look with an image. I will not be using that probe image if somebody else signs up for the Probe and creates an image.
I would love to attend this but I'm not sure what program might be needed. I really hate the "Paint" program since its so I just don't know lame. If I am supposed to use a photoshop program can you tell me which would be needed and where I could get those programs for FREE?? If you do know tell me I'm like dying for that program and I really wanna participate in this event. (When I have free time that is).
Paint.NET is the best alternative to photoshop, and it is free. Personally, I think it is BETTER than photoshop. Visit www.getpaint.net to download it. If you do not wish to use a computer graphics program, you may also sculpt, draw, construct... whatever you want; some sort of visual representation of the unit in color. Just post it here or PM it to me... but make sure you sign up for the unit first!
-.- SIGN UP FOOLS! You can sign up before you make the image, I just need to know which ones I am going to have to make.
