I need an opinion

Tackel · October 19, 2014, 09:07:59 AM

So a group of my friends have decided they want to make a game. They came to me for art direction and to help make some concepts for environments and shit. They said I could make whatever I want since it's the concept stage, as long as it has a medieval theme to it. I said okay, because why the fuck not.

However, I have no idea what type of art style or color pallet to use. So, I need your help. Tell me what type of color pallet.art style you'd might like to see in a medieval game. (Not sure what the story is about, as writing is still concept as well. They think they might do a hero's journey type thing.)

HALP.

Try a bunch, that's what concept art is for. Do some more realistic ones, some bright colorful fancy ones, maybe some goofy ones, or whatever, and let them decide which they like best.

I will. I'd just like some outside opinions as well.

What sort of medieval?
Fantasy or realistic?

For fantasy, a bright colour palette would work, but for realistic, a darker one would.
You also want to reflect the theme of the game in the colours, a game with a dark story doesn't usually have bright greens and yellow. For example.

What Flee said. I think if they give you a basic idea of what the game is about you'll have a much easier time deciding.

Try something like that?
