Enhanced Walls II

[manikus]

I'm up for anything. Thanks to the writer's strike, I've got a couple more hours of free time in the evenings each week.
I will post docs for the fantasy collab in the other thread so that they and the art are in the same place.
But, I would love to work on something else, too.
The on-going collabs/world hacks that I forgot to mention b/c I haven't worked on them in years in some cases are:
Star Wars
Wheel of Time
Song of Ice and Fire
World of Darkness (I may have closed this group)
They all exist in the wonderful world of yahoo groups. There is a lot of art for all except W.o.D. Most of the graphics are taken from the web and other sources, but there are some original icons for Star Wars.
I've also done a bit of work for Dragonball Z, which may be of no us b/c I was/am going for a different look, so using a different format than standard DC.

And last, but certainly not least, is Hero Craft. This didn't die, I just let the website disappear. The idea behind Hero Craft is to do something like SHUA (Super Hero Unlimited Adventures). I have a lot of thoughts on this and had posted a lot of ideas and that kinda thing at the other forum, but they got deleted. I can't find my copy either.

What I would most like to do is Super Hero or a Forgotten Realms collab. There. I've said it.

Edit:
I forgot all about Lord of the Rings. I would love to do something in Middle Earth, though not a re-enactment of the books.

Also, I have mad skills to add to any project. I don't even mind running it if it's not democratic. I am good at managing and administrating, which is fortunate as they are what I do for a living and am going to school for, respectively. Oh yeah, and I once in a while do a picture or two.

I'm not so much the boss type, as I am the guy who the boss tells to make sure that everything is getting done. Then it's up to me to get people to do what they wilst.

[SilentThief]

yep, I understand! You'd be the one to organize it, and the boss would get the credit!!!

Wow - that's a lot of projects! Super hero is the most "different," I guess - lots of modern-looking walls, some modern combat sets, and lots of hero icons/portraits would be needed, too.

Forgotten Realms isn't so different from standard AD&D stuff (and so, most of my icons), except for things like colors (i.e. sun elves and moon elves are colored differently from the normal AD&D elves), and of course there are some new monsters/races around (avariel (winged elves), the aquatic races of Seros). We could do icons/portraits of Realms priesthoods, though. In all, it wouldn't be TOO difficult to do some stuff for this one (some recolors, additions to the people templates).

Lord of the Rings would be fun, too, and is kind of similar to AD&D as well... But we could do icons of balrogs and other fun stuff

ST - That's pretty much it in a nutshell.

Specialty priest for Forgotten Realms would be fun to do.

If we were to do some Super Hero stuff, what/who would it be?

[SilentThief]

As for super hero DC, the obvious ones from my opinion are Xmen from marvel and Batman from DC. Of course, you could do a fantasy/comic book mix like (you mentioned) Hellboy

I've already started work on some Marvel mutants. Right now, I've got Juggernaut, Mystique and Magneto. Wolverine, Cyclops and Jean Grey are on the short list.

The easiest to do would probably be a Batman story, where he is not fighting a villain with too phenomenal of powers...

[SilentThief]

a hefty part of a Batman mod would be the mystery/detective part. A good "who-dun-it" kind of story

I can't recall seeing a good mystery in FRUA. I think it would be hard to leave the right amount of clues.

The thought has crossed my mind to try a CSI mod. I wasn't thinking so much of the show setting, as I was just that type of story. Perhaps in the Forgotten Realms somewhere, there are a sect of priests that are devoted to investigating the mysteries of humankind in all it's varied forms...
