new art ideas?

[manikus]

it seems like i post a message like this every couple of months, and one or two people reply, which i really do appreciate. [img]smile.gif[/img]
i'm motivated to make art for this game, and feel that other people need art for their designs. the only trouble is that i don't know what they want. if i did, i could start working on it. (i know, obvious. )
i can make all the art i want, but if noone wants to use it, there just doesn't seem much point in posting it on a website, i'll just keep it on my harddrive.

what would people like to see done for dungeon craft? there are some really good artists in this community, and i know that they all are open to suggestions.

please post your suggestions as a reply to this message or as a new post, whichever works best for you.

G'day Manikus,

I've already downloaded all your artwork so far. If you need ideas, how about some spell effects and different spell casters? Or perhaps a themed monsters set, like heaps of undead, etc? That would be fantastic! Looking forward to seeing more of your great artwork.

I know what I would like is some nice overlay images. Things like plants, fountains, chairs, desks, counters, etc. I guess you could say 'Furniture' in general. Oooo. Paintings and or Stained glass windows would be nice too!

I definately think the game could use more overlay objects. They would help a Crafter be able to customize an otherwise generic room.

Definitely. Overlay, furniture, barpersons, etc are all very good. If possible can we get it in a wall format which will work with easy tex walls. Easy tex is not perfect, as some people have said, but with some tweaking (like making a mirror image of non-symmetric walls) fairly basic walls can be reasonably effective. But none of the overlays work.

Do other people use easy tex or is there a better utility out there?


Also, I have a lot of art which I have created or converted. Had it on a web site a while ago but that got taken down. If anyone is interested, email me steve_mcdee@hotmail.com and ask and I can send you whatever you want, if I have it.

I have small pictures of most basic items (useful for "EXAMINE" command which is cool, many small pictures of monsters and a few big pictures, many walls (in easy tex format, I'm afraid) including doors and windows, screen backgrounds, and other assorted artwork. I will put them on a web site again some day and will let everyone know the URL.
