Now you might be wondering what EverBlaze is?
Well, approximately a month ago i was sitting at school in art class. My teacher had shown us some sketches she had done when she was at school.
This art had a very - how to say - moody, VERY moody.
Now being the imaginative person i am (despite what people might believe otherwise) i had been very inspired, but i wasn't in the stage of concept for a game.
A few weeks ago i read an article on some indie games.
That's when i knew i wanted to make a game!

Some concept of scenery:


concept of main character:


concept of river crossing and guardian of the gateway (this time i drew the letters backwards so it would be forwards...?)


tell me what you think :)
oh and it's back to front... woopsies

Your alot better drawing on paper. The top one was pretty simple but it was still pretty good. The second one has some good details on the clothing but you need to work on what length the arms should be, and also work on drawing hands.(I'm presumin the anorexia thinness of the arms were done on purpose?)

The guy looks really good, but the building need some perspective, more 3d look like, its just flat...

At that sort of angle giving it more of a 3D look would be pretty hard.

The guy looks pretty cool, but I don't like the pose of his left hand. (it looks weird to me)

thanks.
Okay, the top one is simple because the game is like a side scroller, and i'm trying a new art style. But it's still just a concept.
Arms and hands are not my strong point, hand especially, but yes i did do the anorexia on purpose.

it's not 3d because it's a side scroller game, rest assured there will be a short cinematic at the beginning of the game which will show the "3d" of everything.

yeah, it's directly head on.

yeah, i'm not too good at hands, especially when they're holding something with only three fingers (or two fingers and a thumb).

Need some help with the game?

Yeah, my coding SUCKS!

Yeah, mine too. I was talking about the animation. Although I can code a little bit.

oh, no i'm fine with animation.

:] Okay then. Just pm if you need some help.

k, thanks. I might need some voices, so could you send me some voice work or something as a quicktime or mp3?
it's just that i need to have the right voice for the guy or it sounds off.

new image up.
It's of the gateguardian or gatekeeper.
I have some more (written) concepts down;
The main protagonist goes to the local library after school and finds an odd section at the back of the building, behind a old wooden door.
He goes through and finds only one book, with the words on the cover reading: "DO NOT OPEN"
Of course the boy is curious, so he brings the book home.
Halfway to his house the wind starts picking up and so does the rain. He uses the book as shelter from the rain. The book is blown out of his grasp and is flipped open to the middle page (i'm hinting at something there, try figure it out). He picks it up and hurries home. When he gets there...
well lets just say it's not as modern as he remembered it (hint hint *cough*picture*cough*
that's all i'm willing to share for now.

That sounds like a really good start, but i'd change 'Do not open' from the cover of the book, it's WAY too cheesy.Maybe have EverBlaze on the cover perhaps?

okay, and maybe have the door say "warning" or "staff only"
