First post, splash pics
forum until yesterday. I've stepped sometimes into the development wiki though.
I'm making a couple of illustrations based on dungeon crawl, depicting two of my
favourite characters (kobold summoner, and DDNe of Ashenzari), with the idea of
making them splash pics if you guys like them, it'd make me really happy.
No big deal if you don't like them though, I'd do them just for fun and ink
practice anyways, but it'd be awesome to contribute to an awesome game.
What I'm really wondering about are the technical specs for the splash pics. What
size, color and format constraints apply, I will also need help submitting them.
For now I only have these very poor previews as I don't have a scanner at home,
but you get the idea. Once they're both inked I'll digitize them properly and start
coloring them with the computer. The kobold summoner is already inked, the
deep dwarf necromancer is only sketched.
Kobold Summoner:
Wielding a staff of summoning, and wearing a leather armor, a cloak, and gloves.
You can also see the butchering knife and a pack of imps harassing a worker ant.
I also gave him (her? it? of no consequence.) a backpack to represent the inventory.
Deep Dwarf Necromancer:
Wearing an elven ring mail, an elven buckler, two rings and an amulet.
Also wielding a short sword of distortion, the "straps" you can see around the sword
and buckler are meant to be eventually developed into chains to represent cursed
equipment, and you can see a shattered altar of Ashenzari in front of the character.
I might add undead minions to reflect the necromancer-ness, but I'm not sure yet.
I've done all this throughout the day, I like kobolds (even got to play one in
a D&D 3.5 game once! I wish that happened often!) for their craftiness and
deep dwarves for their resilience. I'm a devout worshipper of Cheibriados and
an occasional worshipper of Ashenzari and Sif Muna.
Any suggestions are welcome, especially for the Deep Dwarf picture, since
it's only sketched, although I can't give you a guarantee that I'll pay heed to
all or any of them.
The pics are smallish in size because when I hit preview, with the size I was
using before you had to scroll a lot, so I thought it was a better idea to use
a smaller size. They're piss poor quality anyways.
Thanks a lot for reading this guys. DCSS rocks my socks.
