OK, well, I've not been drawing art or stalking these forums for a while due to the onslaught of homework and other interests. But in the New Year when my mock examinations (GCSEs, ode joy) are over, and I've completed the other art I still owe, I'm contemplating doing an Oddworld piece. And I was thinking if I got some input from some diehard Oddworldians here on the forums, it'd be a damn good piece.
Generally what I was after was a large image, wallpaper size (maybe 800x600 or 1024x768, perhaps both if people like it). I'm a digital artist, I work in Photoshop (and will be upgrading to PS7 in the New Year) which means I've got a whole load of tools to play around with (digital media is so much easier to handle if you ask me...but let's not get sidetracked).
In the foreground there will be a Slig...cocking his gun, or just standing there. I haven't decided. And the background will be the Barracks, a combination of several different backgrounds from that level - preferably the ones that show the 'outside' of the Barracks, such as walls and the main village.
Where do you step in? Well, since this is the fanworks forum, there's a good deal of talented fanartists among you, and this is where I'd like your feedback on the composition of the image.
Should the Slig go at the bottom of the image, or in the middle (considering it will be to one side, and won't dominate the image) and which elements of the Barracks do you think would look best in the background? (Bear in mind I'm looking for the outer parts of the Barracks, not anything 'inside' or underground). Should the Slig be silhouetted, with just the eyes showing up?
I've got a basic idea of how it might look but I'd just like some feedback on the general idea, just to see what you guys would do. Any screen caps of suggested Slig poses and Barracks backgrounds would also be highly appreciated.
Cheers!
