Re: [WIP] TCAST - on the recruit!

#196 Post by sena »

lol good thing you posted or else I would've gone crazy ( I DO check every day )

Well my style varies and I'm more into drawing realistic people lately haha So I can understand :wink:

Well I can join any team really and I can always change my style if you don't like it :P Though that really depends on what there is left to

work on hehehe

I'm glad you're not crazy! XD (I'm also glad that I checked when I did o.o)

Thanks so much for being flexible! :D

There's a percent-complete on the front page. :) But to sum it up here, we need CGs and sprites, and that's it. :) Though there's a lot of those... o.o Um, we got 8 CGs, seven sprites with an average of about three or four emotions each. (Some have one or two, there's one with eight, o.o but a couple of hers are the same with her eyes opened and closed.)

So theirs basically none done? Well I thought there was some done because I saw some body sketches in the thread >.> haha

Well I'm not sure what style you want really so I guess I'm going to start showing you some sketches ( note they are only SKETCHES lol so they

aren't meant to be full blown drawings)

lol the last one was the one I attempted to color all to get into this project. Yet like I said you already had artists at the time XD

And I kinda don't want it to go to waste so I'll post it here lol (i worked hard on that >.>; )

Well if you like anything like the hair ,eyes, figures tell me. :)

Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't have anything in mind for you to do! I was just replying to your post. I should've given you a task, sorry, my brain is still on "OMG people want to help me!" I can't think of what's next! XD

Leaux has been pming me, and she(?) is officially our lineartist. :) (Leaux, I'm assuming you're female until I'm corrected. XD) So don't have to worry about sketches and stuff. But these are cool sketches! :D Thanks for putting forth the effort!

I sent you a PM, if you could get back to me. :)

Oh yay! XD Thanks for reading and dropping in!

Yeah, I'm awful at finishing things, so I wanted to finish the story before I even brought anyone else into the project. ^-^ (Speaking of which, I should be writing... o.o) We're actually really far along, the only thing that needs major work right now is the coloring for the sprites and the CGs.

Lol, I'm glad you think so! X3 Leaux is flippin' awesome.

Hi! TCAST is on the recruit for colorists! You got mad coloring skills? We got stuff for you to color! :D Please post (or PM!) an example of your work and then we can get started!


Update 3/9/10
We've got some volunteers! XD Yay! But if you want to help, don't let me stop you! :D Let me know! Plus who knows what'll happen in the future. :)

UPDATE 2/15/10
Despite the fact that this project was started here quite a while ago, we are still on the prowl for recruits, namely due to The Disappearance of Two Artists. Who like, to my knowledge, have done nothing. o.o And the standing faithful artist, got like, sick and robbed. o.o Or something.

We need at least one line artist. It would be super awesome if we could get a colorist, or multiple colorists, as well. :)

Duties needed to be done: About seven sprites with multiple poses, and about twelve CGs. (Though, I think I can crunch the CGs to about nine.)

Please, if you are interested, tell me and post an example of your artwork. :) I'd like to get going ASAP.



:shock:
I finished a draft of a script.
I am amazed at myself.

"That Cheap and Sacred Thing" is a Kinetic Novel. I'm really excited about sharing it with you guys! Hopefully we can make a good game. :D

Synopsis: "Welcome to a future where human relationships have been redefined by robots. Except for Autumn's. Elly, a robotic playmate and babysitter known as a "MyPal," was taken from her when she was seven. Since then, she has been strictly forbidden from having a robot with its "personality" turned on. But when her friends give her a secret birthday present named Jude, she discovers the reason Elly taken from her..."

Ok, that's kind of a dumb synopsis, but it's hard to say "This will be cool!" without spoiling all the good stuff. Let's just say there's Murder, Romance, Talk of Sex, Philosophical Rambling and quite a bit of Illegal Activity! Now are you interested?

Characters:
Autumn Godfrey: Autumn has spent her seventeen years in the shadow of a woman she doesn't even call "mom." Autumn felt very strongly about Elly, her "MyPal," who was taken away from her, and considers her years with Elly the best in her life. Autumn is a bit more reclusive and shy than average.
Autumn is somewhat plain, she's caucasion, skinny and on the short-side. Her hair is a mild-orange color and she has freckles.

Jude: Jude is an AmorBot, i.e. a robotic escort and prostitute. He claims to be 21. He has a "jerk with a heart of gold" personality.
Jude is strikingly sexy. His hair is bright red, somewhat spiky, and he dresses in a masculine-stylish sort of way.

Elly: A MyPal, or a robotic babysitter and playmate. She appears to be about seven. She’s playful, protective, and somewhat tomboyish. She has a thing for monster trucks.
Elly has olive skin and long black hair. Her boyishness is apparent in her outfit and body language. She's very cute though.

Marion: Autumn’s current MyPal, her personality is turned off.
She wears a maid outfit, is pale and has long blonde hair. She appears to be a young, pretty woman.

Nadiya: A friend of Autumn’s, she is rich and somewhat naïve despite her immense knowledge of AmorBots.
She has white skin, she’s short and cute, and has long brown hair.

Zoe: A friend of Autumn’s, a pretty normal teenage girl, she likes to appear knowledgeable and to tease people.
She’s tall, tan, and has chin-length black hair. She’s somewhat plain.

Rick: A friend of Autumn’s, he’s a normal teenage boy, and often the victim of Zoe’s harassment.
He has dark brown skin and very short black hair. He wears glasses and is somewhat plain.

Progress - Updated June 18th
Writing – 100%!!
Scripting – ? (Not sure how to gauge this… XD I'm doin' it as I get stuff to put in)
Backgrounds – 100%!!
Sprite lineart – 100%!!
