[quote=Ex] Hopefully, the downtime is gonna be much less now - Mahz (finally) got a Twitter account and upgraded the server, so it seems like there'll be more communication and updates from here on out. Prisk, maybe it would be helpful if you told us a little more about the mood/style you're intending? You've already conveyed some of it, but I feel like there might be more. Personally, I love finding concept art for stuff, so odds are I'll find something that'd fit (though I usually do not include images in posts). [/quote] Hopefully all is sorted now. However, I'm strongly considering a move to rpnation, as it appears to be a superior forum to this one. But, as long as this forum is functional, we will complete this roleplay. Well, there are two sides to that coin: mood and vision. I envisioned this story, this world, as a fusion between Half-Life 1 & 2, Final Fantasy VII, VIII, XIII, and the square enix's motion picture "The Spirits Within." Therefore, I have a very specific mindset when it comes to concept art and visuals. I'm not a very good creative writer, as everything about me is based on visual perception—memory, emotions, everything. So, each piece of concept art that I have selected, which fit into these ambiguous parameters, are tied to many different things in the world and the story. When someone posts their own pictures, this vision and mindset of mine is severely disrupted. However, I don't want to say: "Don't post pictures," which is why I asked that you run any concept art that you think would fit by me before you post them. To give an example: I have over 150 pictures of concept art selected for this story/world—it took me quite some time to collect them. The second part is the mood. This one is difficult to explain. It has to do with the mood of the pictures—how they are drawn, the style, colors, shading, everything. I go to extreme lengths to find the proper mood for a specific situation, and then it has to fit into the story as well. This is all very convoluted, but the further into the story we get, the better you will grasp the mood and vision. I hope this answer made sense... I'm not sure if I understood it myself. [quote=Ozerath] @prisk : sorry bout that, I actually saw yours and felt like I should try to do it as well XD. I'll edit it out when I'm not on my phone [/quote] You don't have to do it now, as you've already posted it. Just for future reference.
