Contest Brief

Need an EPIC illustration for our game. It's a zombie apocalypses archery game. Please use some of the graphic samples below to base your illustration off of. The map type, main character, and monster models samples are below. We need an illustration of those models, and this is just a start. We need 50+ illustrations total for different events, storyline graphics, etc.

The illustration should look something like player standing on a rooftop and drawing an error at a zombie or a group of zomibes walking on the street below. Another idea would be our player pulling an arrow out of a dead zombie and bunch of other bodies around.

    HI. I have uploaded a rough sketch of the illustration defining the composition. pls let me know your reviews to proceed further. And also i was thinking of modifying the characters like adding up some stuff and modifying the gears keeping the silhouette consistent...

    Do the zombies use arrows or other weapons as well?

      I asked because you said you wanted arrows flying on opposite side of screen,are there other players as well or is it just to create a dynamic composition? And,hao big are the giants? like marshmallow man big or hulk big?

      • 12 years ago

      There is an option of "artillery". This ability has your "support team" fire arrows in the location player points at. That is where other arrows coming from. The dynamic composition is also what we are going after. The giants are hulk big, about 30% larger than human size zombies.

    Hey, would it be acceptable if the pov is low to the street, with a zombie being impaled by an arrow while the archer is clearly seen in the background on a tower?

    For those who wonder how closely I want the illustration to depict the characters models and the map, the answer is: Similar but NOT exact. I would want an "improved" models than the game. Use same armor style for the character, like a badass oxygen mask, a quiver, and a MODERN style bow (not like on screenshots, we didn't have right models yet). Also the model looks fat, the model I want on illustration is a skinny guy (it's apocalypses!) The main character has to shoot zombies down from A TOP of a small building structure or an archer tower UNLESS you are going after "Arrow Pull / Loot" illustration type.

    How closely do you want this illustration to depict the character models above (should it look like more like a screen shot... or can designers use their own style to depict the above)?

      I would like to resemble the main characters and the zombies, but definitely not like a screenshot :)

    What is the violence/gore degree? Do you want to make a number out of how graphic it is or is it a more on the mild side?

      Mild level, only a little bit of blood is maximum allowed

    if going with first illustrator concept, make it look like a battle. zombies everywhere, arrows flying from opposite end of the screen, player drawing bow, etc. - a lot going on
