General artwork for clan

[Cynyx]

I want to remember a thing to members : ALL creations are welcome

DECALS :
With the first map of Zoubab, we can see some old decals ("play with style" slogan)... I'm not sur these decals still represent the current gameplay of the clan.
Perhaps it's time to create some new decals for make maps more beautifull and add an E=mc² touch'.

GENERAL BANNER :
It will be cool to have a banner in order to share link of the website clan. format : 470x70 pixels.

STATS BANNER :
A banner representing the clan for stats page could be nice too
format : 825x142 pixels

RANK GRAPHICS for stats :
When i have customized HLstatsx stats, i wanted to add ranks as official servers... but i want original graphics for these ranks.
see an example for the official HLStatsX here :
http://www.statsme.de/?mode=playerinfo&player=73427
this format could be nice : 80x80 pixels

I want this project is not public : meaning only me and creator know the ranking award graphics. No interrest if all see ranking before someone have it

Exploit your imagination and your talent 8)

Ribbons too ? or just rank ?

[Cynyx]

hmmm what's the difference between rank and ribbons for you ?
For me it's same.

[zoubab]

-rank is for the stuff like brigadier general, etc (kills)
-ribbons are medals, awards, for weapons usage (ex: bow sniper, dirty harry etc) u see what i mean ?
you can replace the word "ribbons" by "personal awards"
maybe less confusing.

see your example of the official HLStatsX.

not the same for me .



but im maybe wrong

[Cynyx]

so i search for rank graphics

More u have kill, more u have a cool graphic

Since i never actually got around to making a frag video or any sort of video (i find video editing extremely boring), I just thought of another way of showing whatever I wanted to show through the video.
I will try to draw little animations on whatever subject related to HL2DM:) Never actually did animations, but Ill give it a try, I think ill manage.
So, to be released soon to a movie-theatre next to you: "I, unnamed"

[FuzzyBear9]

Hey KIO!

I look forward to those!

In case others don't know, KIO is quite the artist!!

[KIO]

Heh, thanks Fuzz..
I decided to go the long way of frame-by-frame traditional animation... It is quite fun in that the drawings look "alive" during the animation, but... erm... for a 90 seconds animation thats 1300 drawings at 15 fps... sigh. Well, i kinda made a simple background and made 12 seconds of animating the character spawn. Sigh, if I ever finish this - it will be the biggest piece of something i have started and finished in my whole life...

[DARKIUSMAXIMUS]

GOOD LUCK Kio

[KOMBATIUSMAXIMUS]

Aye awe the best in that m8

[KIO]

Yeah, thanks guys... Ive done around 140 frames so far... Well, MOST of them are just pauses or copying and slightly changing the other frame.. And it looks shite:)))) Well, I guess quality could improve towards the end somewhat, but Ill try and finish it.
So, dont forget,
"I, unnamed" is coming soon.

[KIO]

220 frames so far... not all of them drawn from scratch, of course. So, 10 seconds ready so far and Im not even getting to the most interesting bits yet:))) Daaamn thats gonna be long.. Im thinking of starting off with a simpler video made of short scenes - since im only getting used to working with this software, I might get better at drawing shorter ones and then I can get to do this one better.
Dunno, we ll see, but ill start the shorter one for now as well.

[mcbertie]

best of luck m8 hope u get it sounds like fun i would love to try a program for drawing im not a bad artist my self would like to draw cool thing on pc that would be ous m8 anyways all the best and i look out for unamed c'mon soon

[KIO]

Thanks, bertie.. You will probably need a drawing pad for the PC as well, as trying to draw something with the mouse is a pain.
Btw, it is final now, I am currently working on 2 features:) They are both gonna be quite different in style and drawing technique, coz I, for the life of me, seem to be unable to draw the same thing twice.
2 videos: one is a series of short "Tips and tricks", and the other is the infamous "I,unnamed". I can give u a screenshot for the "I, unnamed":

The one above consists of a background, which i draw once and keep it there for a few seconds. Ill have a few backgrounds in total, thats the second one I made. The character metrocop-thing is supposed to represent me:) Its animated partially by copying the stuff from previous frame and me redrawing parts of the frame that have changed. So its not paper cutout animation per say, but very close it:) I will have to learn how to use cameras in that program as well.
The "tips and tricks" video will be pure frame by frame, which means it will all be shaky and squiggly:) But i like that sort of style. I at least intend to animate 5 frames in a row, when nothing changes. I.e. if the character is standing still, there will be at least 5 frames drawn for that, which will be constantly alternating. Makes the line alive:)

EDIT: Btw, can anyone guess the map I have drawn up there?

boxes + corridor + grey tones = perhaps lockdown ... hard to find.

[KIO]

well, ok, this view angle is hard:) How about this one?
