Now, this game is a particular challenge to me for one main reason: the animations need to be hand-drawn, but I'm no good with hand drawing. And since I know Gaia is so full of artists, I was kind of hoping I could get a bit of help in this department.
If you'd like to help out with some drawings or animations (and get your name in the credits of a video game biggrin ), I'd like to hear from you! In particular, I need basic profile drawings and concept art of as many characters as possible. I have some descriptions of a few of them on the Info page at http://technocracy.sourceforge.net, but none of those include physical descriptions, and only Shira has any existing artwork. Here's a list of the characters that I have now:
Shira Roseburn: The main playable character. Shira is a 14-year-old Asian-ish girl with brown hair. Her usual outfit is black and dark grey, with the Yin half of a Yin-Yang on her back. She has no sleeves. She holds herself upright and alert, as a result of her ninja training.
Shira's shoes resemble Samus's in this image:

Shira has some existing concept art:

Amiel Trenic: Amiel is the same age and height as Shira, with light-colored hair and a pair of sunglasses. He is blind, but the way he turns his head with his attention would suggest to anyone who didn't know better that he's simply trying to look cool. He usually wears a grey tee shirt and dark blue jeans, as well as a belt with a fist-sized rectangular metal plate in place of a buckle.
Ghost: Ghost dresses like a stereotypical spy: armyish boots, a long trenchcoat, and, most importantly, a wide-brimmed spy hat which seems to shroud his face in shadow no matter how you look at him. In this way, he resembles a Black Mage, except that his eyes do not glow. He wears gloves and carries a shotgun in his left hand. His trenchcoat is big enough to fit a laptop in each side, as indeed he does several times during the game. He towers about three feet over Shira and Amiel.
For now, the rest of my characters do not have physical descriptions for me to post. I'll be fixing that soon.
So, yeah, any of those that inspires any of you? I sure hope so, 'cause I can't do this by myself. Of course, feel free to ask questions about anything. I'll be hapy to make something up if I haven't thought of it yet. 3nodding
