Conspiracy! Needs You - A Guest Post from Our Lead Artist

Following up on his inspirational post, Mirkov Sasa is reaching out to all artists, gamers and conspiracy theorists for help designing the art for our game:

"OK, if you have read my previous post, then you know the tools that have been used to create the logos and template design for the game. Now that those are completed we are moving into the next phase: THE ART PHASE! And this phase of making the game could really use your help.

First, it would take me a long time to come up with all the art by myself. Second, this is a community game and as such I would like to keep it in the community's hands. Third, I believe that there are many good artists and people with great ideas considering art for cards.

So how can you contribute? Well first let me explain what kind of art I am hoping to have on the cards. If you know what digital matting is then skip this over this, otherwise keep reading. Matting is a technique used in the movie industry where they put many different elements (photographs) into one picture with good composition and story value. So here is the idea: get the list of starter cards, call some friends, grab a digital camera, make some mood and environment, have fun and take a ton of pictures! Later, go into Photoshop, try to place some elements together and send me your work. It is as simple as that, the main thing is the idea. All pictures can be enhanced and fixed so go for the idea, try to capture what the essence of card is from your point of view. If your skill in photoshop is not so great do not fear, make pictures and send them, I will make the necessary adjustments and corrections and even cut pieces.

If you do not want to do that, do not worry. Send me your ideas, or better yet some sketch of that idea, and I will try to recreate your idea in my photo studio. But that is not all, if any of your ideas or art make it into actual cards, you get the CREDIT as the artist! That's right, you will get your name printed in the lower left bottom of the card as the one responsible for that card art so you can show it off to friends and girls (or boys) :-).

If you have any more questions regarding how you can contribute, contact me on MSN or make a post on forum. Hope to see soon some of your work! Best wishes."
