	Graphics Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

Hello,

My name's John, and for those who don't know me, I just signed up to help work on the art side of the program. No, I don't know code or anything like that (though I am willing to learn, I just don't have MORE extra time). But I do want to get cracking on the early stages of the graphics. Just concepts at first. I don't know what has gone on before in this respect, so please fill me in. Especially since I don't want to tread on the feet of the (I hear) two other artists 'working' here.

Anyway, I'd like to have, when they come, the concept ideas posted and possible compiled into a restricted post on top so we can go over them, or something to that effect. Personally I want to start by illustrating the story first, do some Imperial Guards, Free Peoples, and of course Nillrogs! (Vel, seriously, BIG rip off of Tolkien, at least in name. )

Speaking of which, who are the other artists?

If there aren't any, thats more money for me once the game goes commercial! (assuming a. it makes any profit and b. we get paid if it does lol)

What?! Balrogg...Nilrogg....an entirlely innocent coincidence, I assure you!

Good thinking, Master Marks! And as to what's been done so far....aside from a conceptural Fury Family sketch and a few province graphics done with Bryce, and some FINE family crests done by Pyro, we've not got a lot going yet where concept art is concerned, but I have to admit, I'm *dying* to see the Nilrogg come to life!

To that end, if you need some more description beyond what the backstory provides, just shoot me a note, and I'll be happy to oblige! (and btw, the CD with the art proggies and such should be on its way to you by tomorrow!)

Thanks Vel, I'll try to send some prelims of Nillrogs based on the story tomorrow, but I'd definatly like a more detailed descripition. Also, where can I see the other graphics already done? Must I ask for them? Paweese?

Howdy ! I'm the "other" artist :)
Welcome to our small group ! Our lead artist's very busy with real life, but I'm sure you'll "meet" her soon :P

Anyway, instead of just chatting here, just check your mailbox :)
