Im in the process of designing a website for the guild i am a part of in Rubies of Eventide \"Dark Lords\"
I made this post to request any artists proficient with photoshop or a grapghic design program to design a guild logo, emblem, incal, symbol, type deal.
this image should reflect Hatred, darkness, malice, spite, brooding, and UTMOST EVIL!
if it is possible to display such emmotion in an image please, i would be abliged if you would for me
It can be any size, preferable not HUGE .. about the size of a sig. square if you can manage, but dont let the shape or size hinder the expression, if it needs to be big or dissproportional then so be it..
Thank you in advance, i know i can alwas count on the PS community,
pretty soon after i conference with The Dark lord about the guilds ideals and beliefs i will be in need of a story, and i know this community is at the peak of RP enviroments.
-
Hm. Well, I might be able to help with the story (I\'m not good at designing logos), but a basic outline is needed first.
-
indeed, thank you for your help, i will provide an outline, but first i need a guild incal / symbol..
im pretty much waiting for moogie to come to my aid! or someone who is really good at this sorta thing (considering moogie has alot to worry about already with this forum of wild animals!)
-
my i reccommend hiring someone from the sect? they are a mercanary guild and they do out fo game stuff like sigs and stuff. but there is a fee, you should contact the leader, see their thread in the guild section.

here is another thread by another guy that does that kinda stuff.
-
Im kind of looking for someone to do it out of the goodness of their hearts.
if nobody offers, i will try to do it myself, considering i have grown adept at the use of photoshop, but i know there are many aritists better than I in the community and i hope someone will help out
not to mention i cant wait to see what some of the ideas people come up with.
-
Of course, as soon as I dump my photo shop a request like this comes out...Blast!
Well I\'ll try to reload and put something together. Dark, evil, malice...How are you toward animal symbolism or something of the like?
What Size are you lookin\' at? Any particular color scheme or...you know. all that artsy stuff.
Currently I am thinking of something Sanguine and Black but I don\'t know what you are really after. Got a sketch? bla, bla etc.
I\'d aslo love to help you doing story stuff. But I am wound up in a lot of things and I\'m trying to take it one day at a time. Sooo. Yep. symbol ideas are on there way.
Oh...You might want to PM the answer to these questions. No point filling up a thread.
-
Thanks xyptz, i\'ve sent you a PM. and soon i hope to contact you about the story/history, i am so pleased to be recieving such a response! thank you all
im still looking for artists... anyone else out there interested in making a symbol such as the one i described? i could be fun...lol
-
Im bored so ill try when I get time. :)
-
thanks, if you guys could just put you images up in here that would be great! i will decide wich to use, and i may very well use both! thank you soo much.
-
Im gonna start it today when i finish my hw :)
But I was wondering... You seem to be great with photoshop (or whatever you use) why didnt you make it?
-
I am fairly good with photoshop. some of the things ive made myslef are the sig i am currently using. my previous \"ortano\" sig that flashed with light and a few others..
but there are many people far better than i.. i want to see what they come up with. not to mention these are hard things to express. i want THE purest form of HATRED MALICE CORRUPTION and EVIL.. that could possible be manifested into one god forsaken image.
lol.. seeing im not that evil.. or even that good at expressing hatred and the like. i dont think i could adequetly make such a thing. the only times i come up with a really good image.. are when i am truly inspired. or so full or emmotion i have to let it go(like with the sig i have) im good at feeling whats inside ME and letting it out in the form of some artwork.
-
I thought of somthing almost pefect for what you want but Im not sure if I can make it. It will be pretty hard and if I make it it will probably be my best work.
Lemme draw a pic in your head so you can tell me if its any good. Its dark, no rain. There is a little girl wearing grey under a dark tree. She is bunched up with her eyes on her knees. Next to her you see wha looks like a man. He is about to kill her.
-
i see it. its brilliant.
how you will make it i have no clue
-
but this is to go on the guild armour. and on the website as a Logo... how you will make it into a logo i am not sure either. but i like the creativeness and the idea... please ga ahead with it. im sure it will be awesome
here is the website of the guild i am constructing TheDarkLordsApprentices.tk it will give you a feel for the feeling this lgo whould have
also the story is open to whoever can make one.. no limitations.. i just hope that you come up with something unique please visit the website above to get a feel for what kind of sotory it should be... lol
-
I tried lol

that actually isnt too bad.
it could be refined a bit. do you mind if i add some changes?
or perhaps someone else wishes to use it as a background and add some foreground image to make it a bit more interesting.
thanks man. that isnt too bad
-
nobody else has an idea or image to submit? comon guy! you can do better.
and a story... come up witha good story! no limitations but it has to be kinda evil like, and go to http://TheDarkLordsApprentices.tk for an idea on the theme of the story
thanks soo much for all your help guys
sry for double post :(

that\'s nice... well, not nice, but quite evil looking
congratulations Kwartz
Syzerian, nice abstract shape, but if it\'s going to be abstract and evil, I\'m guessing it should be sharp and angular.

Ok, first of all, I\'ll need to know who founded the guild (Single character, council, two guys?) and names. I\'ll also require the reasons for being evil and being called the \"Dark Lords\". Is it for profit, or for the sake of it? Goals would be nice while you\'re at it, but if the reasons for evil are given, the goals aren\'t needed.
-
He said they dont have a story yet so Im guessing they dont have any goals eigther.

Ehe, I just realized that making up an intriguing story and logo (unless the initial members lack talent in that respect) is part of the challenge of running a guild. So really, you are asking people to do the \"fun part\" so you can spend your time in game promoting/demoting and doing administrative tasks... I can understand you not wanting to make a logo but asking someone else to write your guild history?
Maybe I\'m being pessimistic...

It puts his ability to play a character whose role he chooses in serious jeopardy (I\'d recommend he give recommendations on who he wants this character and the others to be like). Nonetheless, it\'s an interesting opportunity, and some people lack writing talent or artisitc talent. Plus, he may receive multiple entries, and be able to pick and choose between them. Also, he is free to edit the story afterwards if it doesn\'t suit his need.
Fortunately, I only lack some writing talent, instead of all. :P

I am not the guild leader....
i dont know him very well, he is indeed well versed in writing. and is an Incredible role-player. but he has no artistic talent, he asked me to do the website because i am fairly good at that osrt of thing, and that leaves more time open for him to go about guild business in game.
as far as the story goes, he has a personel history, but not a guild history. and i said that i know some talented people over here at planeshift, and they would be more than happy to help out. he aggreed.
his story as far as a i know goes something like
he was a paladin for some empire, an influential gaurd/advisor. and was sent out on a deadly mission when the kingdom came to risk. in a duel to the death with the dark lord Sashos himself, he was tainted by a dagger laced with the evil essence. he succeded in vanquishing the terrible demon, but was forver corrupted. he grew in power and all his senses where acutley sharpened. he was becomeing The Dark Lord.
...unable to stop this madness, the corruption of his mind and spirit led him to gather accomplices, hence the Dark Lords Apprentices. and the purpose... To take back Vormis. the kingdom he so honorably protected. to take it back in the name of Sashos, Evil Baron of all that is black with malice.
pretty cool eh. i liked it anyways :)
so that should explain a few things
-
