BIIIIG Fanmaren project
#1
Posted 20 November 2007 - 03:00 AM
It's simple, I'm gathering as many fan-created nightmaren as I can for a enormous group picture I want to start working on in the beginning of 2008! Thus, I need people to send me Refs of their nightmaren and permission to add them to this group picture. I already have almost 100 nightmaren but I want as many as I can.
"You're insane!"
Perhaps but I'd like to do this. Why? Because it'll help me improve my art and it'll show others just how big a world NiGHTS has created. (And I like drawing fanmaren)
ALSO Chlorine, aka Petit-Chou.deviantart.com, is also needing fanmaren for a picture he calls "Maren Festival." You should also Note him with a REF and DESCRIPTION of your fanmaren as well. Goto his page and contact him for more information.
What to do:
* Send refs of your nightmaren (Pref in color) to me via DeviantArt, or someplace like photobucket, or your own webspace in a PM or a DeviantArt Note.
* No limit to amount of Fanmaren you can send me but please be creative in your designs.
DEADLINE: FEBRUARY 12th 2008
YOU NEED TO HAVE YOUR FANMAREN REFS SENT TO ME BY THIS DATE or you're likely not to be a part of this group picture.
I'll post progress pictures when I start working on this in 2008.
Please don't be shy! I don't turn people away... and if you have questions just ask.

Humaren shaped people only, right? Or can we send stuff like 'Valentine' your way? He may not be a maren as such but still created around the NiGHTS universe. Failing that, i could just send you a really old fan-humaren i had many years ago which i no longer use anymore because everyone told me it was "bad to have a humaren as a fan-character" back then since Reala and NiGHTS are the one of a kinds XD;; my my, how this fanbase has changed over the years.
Anyways, so which would you prefer? Valentine, even though he don't look like the rest, or MAGiC, the fan-humaren? Or both? weh hey!

Thanks again for this incredible idea, though. This is really going to be a fantastically beautiful project to see.

BOTH! I've accepted non-fanmaren but NiGHTS universe based creations and similar things for this project. BRING IT OOOON!!!
I'm a little hesitant to send in my three fanmaren (well, technically speaking, they're pians that look like first-class nightmaren... *bows in apology to the fanbase for tearing apart NiGHTS's reality* ), since all of them are the girlfriend of either NiGHTS, Reala, or Jackle. ^^; I'm afraid they'd get into cat-fights (especially Marian and DB (since DB's the only fanmaren I know of that's paired with one of them)... XDDDD *imagines that Jackle would very much enjoy watching that* ).
It's alright, as long as you don't mind them not hanging off their spouses, I'm fine with that. I'm hoping to not have the original Nightmaren from NiD or JODs in this picture... but please send them on over... and you shouldn't feel so bad about them, even I used to have a Wife of Reala maren at some point... I think we all been there.

Wow, you are going to be a professional after this is over. How are you going to color the maren? Digital or on paper with paint or something?
I'm thinking paper and pen... only because inking digitally really bores me and ticks me off ... if I'm going to get this done I'm better off staying with paper and markers!
However I did think of a flash idea, but I dropped it since it still requires digital inking. I might upload the scanned image into flash so the characters can be clickable with information on who they belong to and so forth... instead of a long list. It'll be confusing if it's a list... so Flash might be good for that but not for the drawing/coloring.

Once I decide on his colours, I think I'll send SALUT on his way to you, if you don't mind : P

Basically, he's the same as he's always been only now his ears actually look like ears rather than having two huge ..things..stick out from behind his head. XD
The refs are all the same but his ears look like how Madmatica drew them in that last picture. Hope that helps. Thanks again for putting him in this
As for MAGiC...er... well, i'll need to draw him up again. I ain't drawn him in years.

Reason i'm changing my mind about which character goes in with Val is because i started thinking how this picture represents the fanbase and what has been created from it and even though Atty belongs to Trippy and was 'technically' around prior to her becoming a NiGHTS fan, to me it's someone who i feel changed my own life along with NiGHTS. I've been thinking how big this fanbase is. This project of yours will show everyone the kind of soul that this fanbase has. I would like Astrima to go in next to Val instead of MAGiC...if it is ok with you.

My crazy little 'maren sees Reala as a mentor, but also as a brother.
D: iNSOMNiAC is NOT a Gary Stu, before you people start. I've made mistakes with my characters in the past, but not anymore. I'm working on his profile now. XD

I already sent ya Somni's ref on dA, but I'm working on a new one. The one I have up is over a year old. @@ And if we're gunna have 'maren hanging off the main characters, Somni is gunna be /somewhere/ near Reala. XD

Nonono, no one will be hanging off any main characters. They won't even be present in this image. But YAY! More refs!

I just realized that I needed to sign my name at the bottom of the picture in case someone (NOT from this site) decides to snatch it up. that might take extra time since the store might be closed, but I really want my fanmaren in the picture. Also, I don't have a DeviantArt account, so that will mess things up as well...

I learned about this yesterday, on the fourth of January, so I've been scrambling to find decent pictures of my fanmaren, a Verol named Ivana and a Hollow named Chasity. I was only able to find one good picture of them together so I hurried over to the store with my dad to get them scanned.

You don't need a DA account, it's ok it's extended till Feb 12th, and chill. You have time and I'll gladly add them to my list.

You can only send Notes if you have an account but you can send me a PM here on the forums with a link or do so in a post would be fine.

I want ask one thing, how do you post a picture here on the blog?
Forums? You can use tinypic or photobucket or file uploads... then it gives you a link to use for forum posting.

I wish TORi could be a part of this, but, unfortunatley, I don't have a scanner..... *cries* My life sucks right now, but back on topic, is their anytning I could do so that TORi can still be in the pic?
You can draw it and then photo it, ask someone to draw it for you, give me a detailed description and I'll try and do my best, or get to a scanner before Feb 12th.
