Realm Wars ornaments set
by Nauris Krauze · in General Discussion · 06/04/2003 (6:55 am) · 4 replies
I've been working on Realm Wars ornamental set for some time now.
The main idea is to create ornamental sets for each of the races in Realm Wars, to be used by texture artists for clothing, wall-tops, household items, floors...well...everything really.
So far I've done mostly sketching, researching (Owen Jones rules:) and figuring out the best techniques to work with. Now I'd like some little feedback please.
Basic samples can be viewed here.
What I'd like to know is:
Would it be wise to include also pure linework and leave color filling for artists themselves? or there's no need for that?
What is the best size in pixels for each basic element/vignette etc. ? (After struggling with vector programms, I decided to go for raster anyway)
Maybe you would prefer layered images with line work and color fills separated? If so, what are the prefered file formats?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks Will. Its like honey on bruised soul:) More even because I often feel that I'm not that good at all. I simply know too much limitations of mine. i wonder - is it so for everybody?

I hope he didnt say that just to make me feel good <;)
I have no idea actually how this set could be made aviable for texture artists, maybe Logan will upload it on rwg.com
Just wanted to say that the idea was implemented and didnt stop in the middle, i guess :)

Also, I wanted to tell that first RW ornaments set has been completed and sent to Logan. He said that they are good and would become handy for texture artists.I hope he didnt say that just to make me feel good <;)
