Avatars for my new game

u1bd2005 · Avatars for my new game

Ok, I need around 4 avatars making for a game I am on making.

It's pretty new, probably gonna take several months to complete the first release of it, it's going to be a text based freerunning/parkour game called SimParkour.

I have these 2 basic avatars made for testing purposes...

But I need some making ready for when I release the first version, I will of course mention you in the credits for the game along with your site/forum if you want.

Anyway, heres the details.

Size: 136x168 pixels (size needs to be exact)
Background colour: #008000 (same as that of my test ones)
Text: No Text Please
Borders: No Borders Please
Timeframe: Plenty of time, as I say it's probably going to be several months until first release and I have the test ones if needed until then.

Other:
I need at least 2 male and 2 female avatars, I want them to be in colour not just sihloettes like the ones I'm using for testing, I would like them to be cartoony styled, and also look like freerunners or athletic people, eg. in light (light as in weight not colour) clothing, shorts, tee-shirt etc...

Would pics of real people be acceptable?

I am thinking of rendering faces, then adding some effects to the faces. I know I can't draw cartoons personally from scratch

Just knocked up a quick example of what I mean:

Original:

Effect 1:

Effect 2:

I'm really looking for the whole bodies in them, mine are just quick things to use when testing, I'm not quite sure of the copyright issues with using real people though, and it would also need to be younger people, maybe late teens/early 20's

if you could get permission or if they were photos which were available to use for free (no copyright) then I have no problem with using real people.

Also effect 1 looks the best to me, if you do have a go at this post the first one up so I can tell you what I think just incase theres any changes needed to be made before you continue with te others.

Bit late to start now, but bump if I forget over the weekend Wink

Hi Bravo, if you haven't allready started would it be possible to make them in the style of the test ones I created?

e.g. just a siholette of a head (black on green background)

I put the test ones into the game and they look wicked, and I got some really positive comments when I showed it to a friend (now not sure colour ones would look right), still need them the same size etc...

just now I only really want a few different looking siholette avatars (head only), both male and female still, maybe 2 more of each.

Many Thanks

The silhouette would be much easier as you don't really have to worry about royalty freeness any more

u1bd2005

Ok silhouettes it is then, if you could just post a couple up when you get time to make them that would be great, similar style to the ones I have.

Once again, you still have plenty of time, that is one thing that is nearly unlimited lol.

Ok, weeknights not great for me atm what with work and the new baby, so just bump every now and then and I'll do em as and when I can.

Of course the biggest part of it is finding originals, so if you can get a good number of heads, send em to me via PM, it'll be a lot easier Wink

They look perfect, thanks.

They'll be going in my game tonight when I get on my other computer.

I've put together a short vid of the game so far, you can see the avatars in use.
