Question for all of you...

[The Unseen]

Keep up the good work

[phnompehn]

The art kind of reminds me of this place: http://www.habbohotel.com

[Supafly345]

Gosh, pixel art... hmmm.

[Mockery]

I wouldn't charge for something like this, but there would be some basic requirements for drawing on the template (all of which would be explained later on). Anyway, I do prefer we find a good pixel artist that can start off the building and the template from scratch as opposed to using some old video game building graphic. Still, I have some ideas for video game buildings that might work.

[Spooky]

the idea reminds me of habbohotel, too.

those are some fun times on that thing :-(

HELL YEAH! I'M IN! By the way, Mockery? You need a pixel artist? Yer listenin' to one now! You have come to the right guy! I'll have to say now, though, I'm on a MEDIUM pixel art level, but I'm pretty good. All I'll need is to know how you'd want it to look. Sound good, buddy?

[thebiggameover]

if upc is working on it, i dont want anything to do with it...

I have feelings, too, you know. I haven't even been hired and look what they say about me. Dosen't ANYONE like me? :imrealsad

[Mockery]

Personally, I don't care who works on the project as long as the quality is good. I'd need to see some samples of the person's pixel art before I got them to start on drawing the building.

i just dont want shit to be all dbz or whatever...
:/

[ultra perfect cell]

Oh, ok. That's not what I was gonna do anyway. So I just need to show my work? Something I did already? OK. But how do I post it? As an image, or something?

[Mockery]

If you can't figure out that much on your own, then you really shouldn't be trying to help out with such an important part of the project.

[ultra perfect cell]

Yeah, I suppose your right. This IS very important. But was it a yes? But yeah, I'll post my latest pixel art. I'll warn you, it's a DBZ related thing.

[pjalne]

How extensive work are we talking about? If there are about five different templates to choose from, I can probably squeeze some out. If there's supposed to be one blank template with a big set of elements (windows, doors, posters etc) to choose from, it's a bit too much for me to take on right now.

But yeah, Helm is the way to go if you can find him and he has the time.

[FromThe13thFloor]

Yeah, I'm in.

It's nothing too big.

First, the artist would need to draw the top and the bottom of the building. Those would be the most involved things because they would have other graphics (people, scenery, whatever).

Then the artist would have to draw the middle building section, including a few blank template pieces that people could choose from to fill in on their own.

[Helm]

Hello. I am recovering from some major hardware (motherboard) and software (virii) problems. But it seems I've finally got everything under control... for now.

Now the style of artwork that would best work for this kind of thing is 'isometric'. All right angles and stuff like in the Wong building. I'm not too good at the style and frankly there are several pixel artists that are exclusively making isometric pixel art. The best one around is a person going by the nickname Zoggles. His website is at www.zoggles.co.uk. Another is Gunstar Red with his army of trolls website at: http://www.armyoftrolls.co.uk/ Both are amazingly better than me at iso pixel art and I suggest you hire either of them to create your template. If however neither are available or you're too cheap to pay for their services, I'm prepared to give it a go. No promises though.

[Mockery]

Welcome back Helm. :o

I doubt they'd want to do it cuz I'm not paying for this particular project. It's just a silly lil' idea that may or may not work out. But I'll be more than happy to give some free stickers or whatever if ya like.

So yeah... give it a go if ya can, Helm.

"WE BELIEB IN YOOOOOOOOOO"

[Helm]

Okay I will make the template when I get the swing of pixel art again (computerless for two months). Now is the time to give me specifics. I'll definately have a big I-mockery (complete with pickleman) sign on the roof, but any other stuff you want to see on the bottom floor and on the roof, now is when you (Mockery, not you other fags) tell me. Cameos, signature stuff you know.

[Mockery]

Ok sounds good. I'll PM you with the details on it.

Thanks Helm

[subterfuge]

WAAAAIIITT!!! HOLD EVERYTHING.

Now my opinion may be pretty lame because I'm new here, but whatever. Why do we have to go and do isometric pixels like everyone else? A tall building idea is cool, but i think we should do vector style instead. Clean, huge black outlines, shiney marks. That sort of thing.

It's just an idea. Since the pixel thing has been done. It could still be in idometric format. It would just be vetor. It wouldn't even have to be real vector. It could just have that feel. Like this image:

[ProfessorCool]

No way is the tower of mockery going to resemble that pink fudgebeast.

[Mockery]

Sorry, not interested in Vector. Vector graphics, along with 3D are just overused these days. I prefer the nostalgic look that comes with pixel art. Besides, a lot of the content on I-Mockery is based on the old pixelated games, so having a pixelated building is very appropriate.

Anyway, Helm is working on a crazy building and he might have something to show me later on this weekend. I'll keep you people posted.
