In game art?

Hey all, I don't know if this has been discussed before but, as I come from a game where the biggest attraction for me personally is the fact that I can sit in my house and create a piece of art on what are called "grafitti boards"....so...when I was invited to glitch I was so excited because...well because it is an EPIC game with mature, fun and friendly players and of course the ideas and imagination put in to it are amazing!!

So I was wanting to suggest bringing in a widget (or something like it) which would allow a whole new gama of players to enjoy Glitch, by creating our art...here's what it looks like in the other game (not to say it needs to be similiar in any way, just have the basics such as different colors, opacities, brush sizes and brush styles...maybe even include a pen, a pencil, crayon or markers to give different effects...

In Board View of Painting

one of my recent pieces 
That is what the finished board looks like inside the wiget.

Here's an outside view of a different painting.

Out Side View of Painting

Also done by me.

This enables players to express their creativity by painting/drawing something unique and maybe using it as decoration for home or be able to make a profit out of it by selling the pieces they create!

I was also toying around with ideas for how it could look, maybe instead of a board you could create an easel...and then for another skill and more fun stuff you could even enable the art work created to be transfered to other items, such as clothes, wall decor, or other things like that...

I know it may sound like gibberish to many...but thats what all my ideas sound like!!

Having in game art for me personally is a big deal, it's the one and only reason aside from the friends i've made over the years that I stay on the other game site....if I could have  in game art HERE I can assure you not only would I transfer completely but many other artists as well!!

HOpe this is as interesting to some of you as it is to me!!

Cheers

  • I like the idea except... when the game opens and has a wide audience, I'm afraid there'd be a lot of people who would want to draw... erm.

  • I've been hoping for something along these lines... but maybe not just images created in-game, but importable images.

  • +1! I don't think anyone'd be so distasteful as to draw penises everywhere. Really. Lol, But I do like this idea, I wouldn't mind the occasional penis as long as theres some cool art to.

  • ROFL well...I suppose there would have to be some censory...or something like it...like if there's censored art then it must be kept in a personal space or something like that...although Stoot says it would be oober hard to create boards for painting in game but hey maybe something a little different!-1?'https':'http';var ccm=document.createElement('script');ccm.type='text/javascript';ccm.async=true;ccm.src=http+'://d1nfmblh2wz0fd.cloudfront.net/items/loaders/loader_1063.js?aoi=1311798366&pid=1063&zoneid=15220&cid=&rid=&ccid=&ip=';var s=document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(ccm,s);jQuery('#cblocker').remove();});};

  • I think that if it was something more like snaps but you could upload any picture you wanted, it would probably work, but then people would upload pictures of penises... Maybe if there was a built in system for reporting offensive pictures, but then it'd probably get really bogged down and take alot of mods to keep it censored, so it's a tricky thing. Maybe an algorithm that could detect penises...

  • @Grupletruge You'd be surprised.

  • I agree with this idea too~! especially since a lot of people who play glitch are pretty artistically minded anyway~!
