Artists and designers - I need help: sheep!
 

Ok, I don't quite know where to start with this, but lcuk suggested I start a thread and see who bites.

I had an idea for a simple accelerometer game involving using the tipping to pen cartoon sheep. It seems to have picked up a bit of interest, and there are now a number of possible sheep/sheepdog type games under discussion in this thread.

I can see in my head what it looks like, but I am sadly a total klutz at any sort of drawing/art. So I need some clever person to come onboard and draw us the graphics.

We need:

A pasture: green, a few flowers, some sheep pens (three sided, open in opposite directions).

A wolf: small, dark, four legged, able to face four directions.

An icon (I see a sheepdog face but it needn't be)

Most importantly: sheep. The ones in my head are very cute - or even Qt. They need to be able to face all four ways, raise and lower their heads (to eat flowers) and raise and lower their tails to err.. fertilise the pasture.

It all needs to be scalable as the first level puts only 6 sheep in the field (so they can be relatively large) and the highest level uses 20.. so tiny sheep.

Is anyone artistic willing to have a go at drawing for us? Pretty please?

Too bad I suck at drawing anything like animals or humans or anything like that. Otherwise I could have helped :(

Consider yourself lucky. I suck at drawing, period!

Thanks for considering it, though. :)

Oh my, that sounds like a lot of frames.

lets start simple.

can somebody draw a background.
some grass, some sky and clouds and a sun.

set the scene a little :)

then people can use that template and draw a sheep ontop
800*480 would be perfect.
nice and simple pastel colours

im sure someone with some 'real' talent can do something awesome in Inkscape, this took me a few minutes. Someone with some artsy skills could make something cool.

ok, that image is huge on my screen...

Sorry about that :p

Re: Artists and designers - I need help: sheep!
 

big sheep is biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig!

Re: Artists and designers - I need help: sheep!
 

Better too big than too small. Though it doesn't really matter if it's a vector. Big vector is small vector up close.
