Guild Promotional Poster

I think that it's about time that this topic had its own thread, instead of being scattered all over the shop.

To the uninformed, this poster is supposed to help recruiting, making a sort of 'we want you' style, but I think, mainly, getting the message across that there's a new bounty hunter guild in town and they're not to be messed with.

Current ideas:
1) Creed flanked by the females on the guild (Lilin, Ree'tak, Masurgi, Xen Raffini). Perhaps Masurgi and Ree'tak on one side (Republic), Xen and Lilin on the other (Empire) with blue on one side and red on the other, meeting to make a white "blade" which is were Creed is. Creed could be pointing at the viewer in a "we want you" fashion.
2) Building up on the previous idea, we could add two more characters to make a more "bounty hunter" feel instead of "pimp". Skursir could be back to back with Creed, on the Empire and Republic side respectively with blasters drawn and the Mysterious Falleen looming over both, in the middle. The females would also be on their respective sides, charging at the enemy in different directions.
3) We could wait a longer amount of time to get all the guild's characters in, to make a line up. This may look better as currently, females dominate the screen. As before, the Mysterious Falleen would look over head. Pulled off well, they would be an awesome sight, but perhaps best to do later on.

Falleen, with his head tilted forward, leaning over a galaxy that he holds in his hands would be cool. Think Streets of Rage.

Though suggestions aren't a bad thing, I think it's best to let LW have creative control over his artwork. After all, it's he who is spending his free time (and money!) putting in all the effort. That he's had this idea to help promote the guild and is theming his art on guild characters is fantastic, but I think we should leave it in his hands to decide what he produces.

Maybe he'd be glad to do commission pieces if we want specific artwork done?

I completely agree. I've spoken to Lunarwolf already on how I would like the guild represented and we've already agreed on how it will be done. But yeah it's all up to L-Dubz in the end as thats his realm.

I look forward to seeing this

Still, to add what I've said already I suppose L-Dubz would be grateful for some input. What I'd really like to see personally is the characters personalities captured in the pic. But I dunno how difficult that would be! I'm sure it'll look cool no matter what though.

Yeah, I guess so too. The first idea was actually Sureshot's, while the 2nd one was a mix of mine and his. The third is just mine

I take it you saw that I bought LW a 3-D package? I'm really excited to see what comes out of that for the aliens among us! He's already showed me the basis for 'The Falleen' here:



I'm after the one on the far right. The pose is pretty close to what I want as well so thats cool.

Looking good Double-S

Hey all! Thanks for all the suggestions A lot of those Ideas are pretty similar to what was running through my mind anyway, I have to admit so its nice to know we all think along the same lines!

Before I do any work on a promo poster I want to make sure everyone is happy with the "base" coat of the characters (IE - their look without 'changables' such as clothes, pose etc).
Masurigi still needs to be finished before I can really move on, which means I have to wait for Ali to get back. As it stands, the "base" coat is completed on the following characters:

Lilin


Creed


Ree'tak


Xen


Valik


Falleen


The following are in development:

Masurigi


and all the others are due for me to try! (yes even wookies and trando's )

I have recently found that someone has done a great recreation of the "Fett" style of Mando armour, so I am trying to get hold of that (I'll keep you updated!)

Lastly, to pick up on what Red has said, I would LOVE to have specific pieces commisioned, and will happily do so for people but I must stress that guild work takes priority. Once I have got models for all the characters done (assuming people want their characters 3d'd up) I want to make a start on the promo posters. After that, I'll be glad to take commissions. I'm not the fastest worker, and my job tends to steal away my life (like last night, got in at 22:00 had a medical emergency, got home today at 14:00 /sigh), so if youre not in a massive rush, I can help

I'm 100% happy with Creed. Everything about him says to me 'dirty spacer'.

lol, I'm not sure how to respond to that...

Hahaha

Lunar, so what are you going to do for the promotional poster? Share with us your end design thought!

I can't wait to see Skursir! The Falleen currently looks like he's going to be awesome!

I have a few ideas rolling round in me noggin, H2... need to chat with the Chief about them first though...

Btw, what armour is Skursir wearing? is it Cortois? only I picked up some mando armour...

Best of luck with the Trando!!! I'm really looking forward to seeing one actually. I think you've proved that you can handle the aliens among us now anyway.

I bet when you get around to Ne'tra though you'll wish for more human characters!!

"when I get round to Net'ra"? I'm already fearful of it

If you get the time could you create Artekus? I don't think he'd be too difficult as he's human.

Of couse mate

Thanks! There's a basic description on my wiki (link in sig) but if you want any more details feel free to PM me

Just resurrecting this thread because I was reading through it and getting all nostalgic.

I've got a few projects on the go at the moment, but I've not forgotten this!

So who's next on your hit list?

For resurrecting or doing 3d work on? lol


nah, I just meant I'm still up for doing a guild poster or two at some point in the future.

Now that the calendar is finished I need to start work on the first of the "Origins" comics for the Tales of the EPOCH series, as well as a few other (non-visual) projects here, ofc
