Concept Art

[sparhawk]

Since we have a new concept artist, he might be usefull in creating concepts of buildings interiors as well as some character variations. We can also use some concepts loot.

That would be Springs job. A contributor would certainly need a bit more detailed descriptions then just that.

I've already assigned him something.

Isn't that a bit to generic? Especially when he has no experience with Thief?

[Springheel]

I told him to check out some of the artistic styles of Thief from various websites, and he obviously is comfortable with shots of buildings, so this seemed like a good thing for him. I'm not going to hand-hold people who haven't played the games. If he does the research and comes back with something thiefy, then great, he's in. If not, then he'll need to get a little more knowledge before joining the team.

That, I would personally adore. I have been making maps for many years, sure, but the ideas are the tricky part for me. Not the grand idea, that's no big deal. But the details are what confound me usually. And I am generally 10X better at mimicking something I see, bringing it to reality from a design, even improving something that already exists, than I am at creating it from scratch from a thought in my mind.

A lot of building concepts sure would help rather than having to think "what should THIS building look like?" each time, can just mimic a concept drawing is much easier.
