RE: Let's Do the 7th Generation! PRESENT YOUR STARTER CONCEPTS - SIGN-UPS OPEN

Okay, people, let's get this open, present your designs whenever you're ready.

Oh, and since now we don't have two teams judging the starters, everybody votes in the end what starter to keep.
 
RE: Let's Do the 7th Generation! PRESENT YOUR STARTER CONCEPTS - SIGN-UPS OPEN

Yeah... Three days wasn't long enough.
My team is just starting to get sketches together for the basic forms. >_<
 
RE: Let's Do the 7th Generation! PRESENT YOUR STARTER CONCEPTS - SIGN-UPS OPEN

Then present them when they're ready; we have one sketch and we're working on the other two pokemon now.

Remember, basic concepts; don't work too hard on them; do what comes naturally and that is all.
 
RE: Let's Do the 7th Generation! PRESENT YOUR STARTER CONCEPTS - SIGN-UPS OPEN

Hey, legendary team--we need to begin working, too. I put a small suggestion up to get us started.
 
RE: Let's Do the 7th Generation! PRESENT YOUR STARTER CONCEPTS - SIGN-UPS OPEN

Uhh... can I still join? I can kinda draw.
 
RE: Let's Do the 7th Generation! PRESENT YOUR STARTER CONCEPTS - SIGN-UPS OPEN

Sure.
So as to not make a mess right now, you'll be in team 4, PM one of the guys there for a link to the quicktopic and a status report.

I'll reorganize teams later based on how we do with the starters and legends.
 
RE: Let's Do the 7th Generation! PRESENT YOUR STARTER CONCEPTS - SIGN-UPS OPEN

Guys? if you're having trouble with the starters, you can resign to that and work on other pokemon, like the rodents, bugs or just regular pokemon. just let me know first. It's fine.

Its just slow going.
The starters are important and we want to make sure we do our best on their initial designs.
 
RE: Let's Do the 7th Generation! PRESENT YOUR STARTER CONCEPTS - SIGN-UPS OPEN

Yeah, but there's three teams already, so as long as one of them continues the starters, there's no problem.

That, and I just realized; if we pick three starters from nine, then they wouldn't have the same cohesion as the RPG trio, so if a team has made that concept and only one starter is chosen, it would feel a little out of place. Also, who will further develop the concepts? we can't have all threee teams doing that, in the same way as the legendaries, it's best if only one team does it, and it's very likely that team will only work with one of its original designs.
 
RE: Let's Do the 7th Generation! PRESENT YOUR STARTER CONCEPTS - SIGN-UPS OPEN

I have our Fire Starter, but you'll have to wait til tomorrow.
 
RE: Let's Do the 7th Generation! PRESENT YOUR STARTER CONCEPTS - SIGN-UPS OPEN

Can anyone clarify when the legendary concepts are due? No one's posted in our QT for three days, and the last person to have done so was me. I'm just making sure that we aren't super behind because we've hardly accomplished anything.
 
Re: Let's Do the 7th Generation! PRESENT YOUR STARTER CONCEPTS - SIGN-UPS OPEN

Same thing for the starters, for the same reasons
 
RE: Let's Do the 7th Generation! PRESENT YOUR STARTER CONCEPTS - SIGN-UPS OPEN

The legendaries don't have any sort of deadline, you guys can work them at your leisure, jsut make sure to present advances evey once in a while.

The starters would be best if we could decide what to do soon. Reflecting into this:

I think it would be better if instead of choosing the best individual starters, we choose the best trio, and that team goes to continue working while the others move on to other pokemon.

Also, turtwig's team, seriously? you're five people, five. And it's been three days since someone worked in the QT?

Do you think it would be best to dissolve the teams altogether? I don't like it, it's too chaotic; but if it gets more people working...
 
RE: Let's Do the 7th Generation! PRESENT YOUR STARTER CONCEPTS - SIGN-UPS OPEN

If you want me to, I can go ahead and create concepts of my own and the other team members can agree/disagree once they begin working again. My free time is limited, and I wanted to help with this on the days that I am able to...but I can't if no one else gives any input.
 
RE: Let's Do the 7th Generation! PRESENT YOUR STARTER CONCEPTS - SIGN-UPS OPEN

Maybe make less teams, with each team only consisting of the active members.
My team is fairly active at least, but if the rest of the teams are having a problem...
 
RE: Let's Do the 7th Generation! PRESENT YOUR STARTER CONCEPTS - SIGN-UPS OPEN

I figured in then end, most of the our designs would be redesigned by someone who has skill in making fakemon. If we put forward our best concepts, perhaps we could have someone take those concepts and make them look like Pokemon. Just a thought.
 
RE: Let's Do the 7th Generation! PRESENT YOUR STARTER CONCEPTS - SIGN-UPS OPEN

Oh man. I have an idea for the starters. Are there any teams still brainstorming for ideas? I can share them with a team...

Can you pass me the QT link so I can see who's active and stuff? if you have 10 pages a 3 day hiatus is not so bad, but if you have 1 or 2...

I was thinking that, too, dissolving teams, suspending non-active members, moving work here and everyone works separately or in optional groups and brings the stuff here for review.

The thing is that redesigns are still, a wholly different, new design, and as such, the fakemon artist would have made the fakemon, not you.

Making concepts is not what this thread is about; we've done that to death in several threads already. The thing here is "you like this pokemon/idea?, well, do it." and we all collaborate so the designs are good/balanced/GF style, or at least better than what one person can do alone.

This task demands some dedication, even if it's only for fun; you can't just burst in the QT once a month, say "hey guys, I thought of this super-cool concept for a pokemon! good luck!". You have to work with your team, defend your ideas to the best of your ability and in the end, you'll be able to say."I made that. I designed a pokemon". Might not be the frantic competition of The challenge, but it doesn't demand so much of your attention either.
 
RE: Let's Do the 7th Generation! PRESENT YOUR STARTER CONCEPTS - SIGN-UPS OPEN

Well, my concern was that many of our ideas don't have that Pokemon "feel" to them. I'm not suggesting a complete redesign, but I would be interested in having someone take my ideas and redraw them nearly exactly the same, but with more of a Pokemon style. I guess I'm suggesting we have a "Sugimori" to redraw all our submitted and accepted ideas to streamline the style.
