Almean Art

Post by brandrinn »

Almea has everything it needs to make it real, to make it come alive- languages, history, famous personalities... the only thing it lacks is visuals. Mark does pretty well, bless his heart (it's better than i could do), but what we need is really high-quality stuff, like paintings or something. the kind of stuff that would be good enough to grace a book cover (just to give an example). I know we have some good artists here, and many of you could probably recommend a good artist who is cheap. i'd gladly put up a few clams to see professionally rendered scenes from the Eschambra (sp?) or a Kebri trading colony or a Xurnese palace.

first off, who here can draw? volunteer for the Almean Art Project! (we'll need Mark's permission for this, of course).

I appreciate your enthusiasm, brand, but I need to keep Almea in my own hands for now. The professional artists will have to come after the book sales, not before. :)

Mark, if an artist offered to do some paintings and stuff of Almea, would you (presuming you had time) work with them and create something beautiful together?

I could provide some artwork, if you wish.

Hmm, I was going to embark on a whole analysis of created worlds as seen by the creators and the fans here, but I think that will take too long.

Let me just emphasize that I have very high standards, and a personal vision for how I want Almea to develop. Because of that, there really wouldn't be any point in collaborating with someone who isn't a rather better artist than I am.

But then, the rather better artists generally have visions of their own to pursue-- and, for that matter, paying clients.

On the other hand, if you can get Moebius interested, give me a call. :)
