Help wanted: Need 3 trackball CPO
« on: December 23, 2007, 01:05:35 pm »
I'm still hung up on the artwork.  Eventually I'll need the marquee and side art but for now I just really need the CPO so I can get assembling.

Is there someone I can commission to help?

I'm looking for a medieval theme, a tie in to Rampart would be great but not required.  I had originally intended for it to have Rampart side art, Marquee and an original creation for CPO (I never liked the bland Rampart CPO).

I'm really poo at art so I cannot help you there. However I always think CPs look great where the trackballs are the main centre of the design. You incorporate them as a feature in the artwork. When a single TB is in the centre of a 2-player panel it's easier really and makes the whole panel look nice and symmetrical.

For a medievil theme I think making the TBs look like boulders being launched by those old catapult type things they used to have would look cool. Or you could have the side two like that and have the centre one being a big fireball type thing. And sprinkle assorted medievil type characters about on the panel etc.etc.

I can picture it in my mind sorta... but I'm just sh!t at using art programs.  :-\

Looks like I'm SOL on artwork for quite some time, so I'm just going to assemble it sans the artwork.

That's a negative Ghostrider.   Too much money into the project already.

im not really the man to do this as im crap with art packages, im ok with a pencil.
i did picture a theme though.
if you know what i mean by seige equipment, trebuchets etc, i was thinking a collage almost with pictures of the seige equipment focused around the trackballs as the ammo in the weapons.
does that make any sense, ill try n sketch it, and you can run with it if you like and get someone to do it properly.
youd be wanting dark trackballs for this theme, have you got a colour yet for the 'balls?.


ooh just thought, the middle one crashing through a wall(rampart) maybe?

That's kind of what I had in mind too.  Although I'm no artist.  Trackballs are white red and blue.
