[Enkidi Li Halan (N.A.)]

feel free to poke me in the eye on ICQ,

*g* I'll take care of that...

Hi

I like the pictures, and the idea ist great. I am unhappy, that i am not a good drawer/illustrator and i only draw with pencil, i never have collered one of my pictures.  But i can try.

But i have some Questions.

How many cards do you want to create? 32, 52 or not an normal sice

and

Why you want to create Groups?

Li Halan:
- Knight
- Orthodox Priest
- Charioteer
- Vorox
- ?

Hawkwood
- Knight
- Amalthean Priest
- Charioteer
- Reeve
- Obun

May be it will be nice to draw tow pictures for every faction. a male and a female.

Whith
5 Noble Houses (two cards per Faction)
5 Priest Cohorts (two cards per Faction)
5 Guild Cohort (two cards per Faction)
5 Aliens (Vorox, Obun, Ukar, Vau, Symbiont) (one card per Faction)
some Dammed (Physics, Cyborg, etc..) (one card per Faction)
And of course the Imperator and some Questening Knights

Sorry, for may bad english i havent used it since Years.

Hi Etzel,
Since we're planning to create a Quartett-game, we have to group the characters to sets of five. Hmm... I just realize that it's a Quintett then ;-)

Since the Spiel will start in five weeks (21.10.04 - 24.10.04) we should think about a deadline for the illustrations; printing the whole thing will take some time, at least one week. Do we have a printer?

[Etzel]

How many Cards do you want to create?

How many Cards have you cerate/ are finish?

Have you Vallues, or phrases for every Card?

[Enkidi Li Halan (N.A.)]

As far as I remember we came to 33 cards, as this is a standard number for Quartetts (32 cards, one for the rules).

This is the status for the cards:
Al-Malik -- Max -- Sketches: 4 -- Colored: 0 -- in process
Decados -- Azentar -- Sketches: 0 --- Colored: 1 -- in process
Hawkwood -- Kris -- Sketches: 5 -- Colored: 0 -- in process
Hazat -- Markus -- Sketches: 0 -- Colored: 5 -- done
Li Halan -- Kathy -- Sketches: 5 -- Colored: 5 -- done

So we have 25 cards for the characters. This gives us 8 blank cards- I'd propose to create another set of Questing Knights, high-ranking officials or something like that. The remaining 3 cards were then open for rules and advertisement ;-)

Layout status:
We have 3 sketches, but not yet agreed upon a design.

Stats and stuff:
Character names, rank, stats. Hmm, we didn't fix that as well ;-)

[Etzel]

Hi

five Questening Knights will be nice.

one Card for the Emperor

I think, that the rules for Quartett need only one Card

one Card left

Have you a design for the back of the Cards?

[Enkidi Li Halan (N.A.)]

Have you a design for the back of the Cards?

Nope, not yet. I'll have some free time tomorrow, so I'll try another card design.

Hazat -- Markus -- Sketches: 0 -- Colored: 5 -- done

I would like to replace the Amalthean, and if there is enough time, the Dervish with new pictures. I think both pics aren't really the best I could do. But if we want to make it in time for Essen 04, the current versions will probably have to do  .

Is there a realistic chance that we can finish the project within one month? The game fair starts Oct. 21st.

I will try to make my new sketches this week, and if everything go well then I will color them next week.

[azentar]

It was a very hard week with no free time.
The Arcane Codex Compendium is done,
therefore I'm back in action now and will do my part the next few days.

[Muskel Maxe]

Hi guys,

was a bit busy the last few days (let´s just say Oktoberfest is insane) so couldn´t show up here. But I colored four of my charackters. Here they are

Al-Malik noble,
http://hometown.aol.de/esel321/homepage/verein.html

Engineer technician,
http://hometown.aol.de/esel321/homepage/sprachen.html

Scraver artifact hunter,
http://hometown.aol.de/esel321/homepage/fachhandel.html

and the Ukar warrior
http://hometown.aol.de/esel321/homepage/reisen.html

Once I colored them I thought the lineart was ok. Not to much. I am working on a Brother Battle right now, should be finished this week.

[Enkidi Li Halan (N.A.)]

Fine ;-)

I especially like the engineer and the ukar.

[Azzu]

Yep, very cool! 

[azentar]

very cool, especially the ukar warrior.

We have very similar entourages (ukar & engineer).

Got all characters done. (500kb download)
The style is maybe not everyone's taste, but judge for yourself.

edit: updated the info.

[Enkidi Li Halan (N.A.)]

Well done, Azentar. The Ukar is my favorite, he somehow reminds me of a close friend of mine ;-). I also like the Engineer, for he's not the 'typical' engineer- makes me think of a Renaissance scientist.
Ah, and you changed the Ascorbite's feet- better now ;-)

[azentar]

Thx

The intention behind the engineer was to depict a Renaissance explorer, so he seems to be a success.

The knight & the Ascorbite are not entirely satisfying, but there is few time left for the refinements

[Azzu]

I found some time to make a new picture of the Hazat Dervish. The tattoos are inspired by the Hellboy movie  .

I like the new picture better than my first try. What do you think?

[azentar]

It is better & more dynamic. I like the way the character is holding his scimitar.

[Enkidi Li Halan (N.A.)]

Jep, better ;-) 

Well now that we've almost finished the drawings, what about the card-layout? Stats? Printer?
There's still a lot to do... 20 days left until Essen... ;-)

[Azzu]

I've made a new picture of the Amalthean field medic. Not very priest-like, but I like her better than the old "dwarven cleric"  .

I've finished my entourage. Yeehaa  !

Hi everyone,
I've just finished a layout-sketch fpr the cards. Its DIN A8, 10,5 cm x 7,4 cm. Not my favorite format, but perhaps the best to print.

The layout rocks  . Excellent work  .
