Looking for Fantasy Concept Art!

Looking for Fantasy Concept Art!

Greetings! I am making a game that is in the very early stages right now, and am looking for concept art of characters and enviroments. Details below!

 

ABOUT THE GAME

Luna and the Dying Star is a platformer RPG set in a large open world. Insprited by Ori and the Blind Forest, Celeste, the Legend of Zelda, and more, it takes features from a platformer and an RPG and fuses them into one. Explore the depths of the 7 realms by scouring secret caves, solving mysterious puzzles, and fighting big baddies! Using magic and the wisdom of your companion fairy, Lisp, you must find a way to save the world by any means necessary before time runs out! How hard can it be? ;)

PLOT

On a peaceful world known as [NAME], the townsfolk live peaceful lives. Orbiting very close to their red dwarf star, they can harvest the energy from it. From this energy, they have been able to make magic. But their star is dying, and with it, their source of magic too, and time is running out! Luna, an aspiring student witch, decides to do something about their dying celestial neighbor after her parents died tragically in an attempt to keep the star alive. Luna must scour the 7 realms to find a way to prevent the star's untimely demise, or to stop the cataclysmic aftermath!

BONUS INFO

The plot is based on real life astrophysics, with minor tweaking. In the case of the star, I chose red dwarf as it's smaller and allows for a closer habitable zone, and it has a much longer lifespan. One part that I had to bend the truth on is when the star dies, it collapses in on itself to form a black hole. In real life, a red dwarf is too small to allow for that. But this is a game, everything doesn't need to be exact! :p Furthermore, the method to keep the star alive and destroy the black hole is based off theoretical methods of doing it. I've done extensive research on these topics. Even the magic is based off real life types of "magic," in our case, Alchemy. The symbols presented in game will be real alchemic symbols and the magic that happens will be based off those chemical compounds. Another type of magic in the game is Incantation.

 

ABOUT THE WORK

This is a very ambitious project that will have thousands of sprites in handpainted style, reminiscent of Ori and the Blind Forest. For now, I'm looking for concept sketches of a few characters and enviroments. The concept art would be shown to the public in early builds and screenshots via social media and the crowdfunding campaign and you will be credited in every case for the work! IS NOT PAID. I CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY, WHICH IS WHY I AM STARTING A CROWDFUNDING CAMPAIGN!

Concept Art:

  • 5 characters and 5 enviroments, colored preferred, but not required
  • Characters: Bunny-ish creature, shadow colossus (fancy rock golem), mini dragon, medieval blacksmith, your choice (get creative!)
  • Enviroments: Forest, Lake, Dark Palace, Desert, Tundra/Snow
  • Fantasy style (similar to Ori and the Blind Forest)
