I felt the need for a place for us all dump Concept Art and stuff like that.

 

- Concept Art (Character or Vehicle or Circuit, tracks, world, anything.)

 

 

 

- Inspirational Design Stuff

[Pasidon]

Oh.  Alright, expect something soon.

[Pasidon]

 

Well, I was playing around with a few ideas, and this weirdness was spawned.  You have a whole lot of simple geometric shapes with bright neon lights that act as obstacles and advantages.  I didn't want to get too far ahead of myself (we really need to sit down and decide what we're going to actually have) but that's the general concept I had in mind.  The cool snaking clouds... the diverse types of planets there are... I imagined there would be alot more obstacles and crazy stuff scattered around, but I also imagined that there would be simple planets and complex ones, meaning some are more open than others.  Not too proud with that, but I already spent about 6 hours thinking and making this up.

I love the snaked clouds and planet idea

maybe a little to heavy on the alice in surreal land for a wacky racing game though, but i like it, could be a dark themed world?

[Pasidon]

Yea, I think it would be great if we can have some world really dark and lit up with bright neon lights.

[Gen.Kenobi]

Yeah, we can have several worlds. Just the amount of work would be exponential.

@Pas: I'm eager to see some character art

[Pasidon]

I prefer doing character art.  I'll try something this next weekend.

[duke_Qa]

I should have added some of my previous enviros in here. Oh well another day.

 

here's a quick Kart sketch done after a RR meeting, plus it has a Mysterious Wrestling Fellow in there, what is he doing there?

 

[Pasidon]

My favorite part about that is that your little guy is wearing cheesy sun glasses.  But yea... slick cars with obnoxiously large engines... daddy like.

[DIGI_Byte]

Hahahhaaa oh thats SO BAD, I love it!

Its good to have a concept to work from

WOW... spent all night and morning working on our first piece of character concept art.  We decided Ash would be our first focus, and that he was.  Here's my concept of him:

 

 

I dunno about anyone else... but I REALLY love this design.  Like I want to take it and use it for my personal projects, but hopefully it's awesome enough to represent Ash and his diabolical glory.

[duke_Qa]

Hmm, its going to be hard to rig his face in 3d . I guess having multiple face-textures to flip between might work.

[Gen.Kenobi]

AMAZING!!!

Yeah. We could have multiple face-textures that changes given his mood, since we're going for that approach that people say something when they get passed/hit someone.

[Pasidon]

Well dumbing down is always a possibility anyway.  It would be a shame though.

[Pasidon]

Oh, and I'll make concept art as we go along.  So when we finish Ashy's character here, I'll get started on the next one we decide.  Randomized, obviously.  We could use models not in driving mode for a selection screen, and for other things as well, so it's not terrible if we don;t get him fitted into a kart anytime soon.

[Gen.Kenobi]

BTW, it would also be cool if you could already sketch some karts for Ash, so we could call it "done".

[Pasidon]

No need... Dig and I decided to make one generic cart for now, and we may create customization pats specific to each racer.

[Pasidon]

I had absolutely no internet all last night, and I got bored.  So what happens when Pasidon is bored?  Pasidon concept art gets made:

 

 

 

No need to fit this into the game anytime soon.  My next project is actually Hostile (as determined by the will of the Hat O' Faith), and I'll get that done if I see enough progress on Ash.

[Gen.Kenobi]

Amazing stuff!
I really like your art style!

[DIGI_Byte]

you're beautiful Pasidon
