I Can Apply as a Concept Artist, I can come up with "New Weapons" you guys just have to tell me what Kind your looking for, or at least "The Weapon That This Game Has" (example: Crysis, HalfLife2, Quake 4, etc.) And send me Pictures of that Weapon from the Game, that you want "Similar". I can come up with some "Freaked out Stuff", I just need input.

I've Worked on many HalfLife 2 "Mods", all never completed.

I have a few Concepts Already:

Just some Feedback

@Nightrage: very nice work - I could imagine the middle row, far left, bottom weapon as concept art for a new crylink model, only the front would have to be a bit ... I dunno, more spray-like ;o)

@lovelybr: you've really got some talent there - impressive work!

Oh, and welcome to the forum! ;o)

Edit: VERY impressive work, lovelybr.

@NightRage:
You have some really nice skills there. I somehow missed the new posts in this thread.
If you wanna help out there are two weapons which could use some new concepts. Firstly it's the Crylink which all agree on should be re-designed. There's also the Nex, however, there's been no input from people wanting to change it. I really want to see another design as I don't really think the current design fits the style. I don't know what other people think, but if a new better design where to be created I think people wouldn't mind changing it.
If you do think about creating a design for the Nex keep that in mind.

Recently, many weapons has gone through face lifts and some has been totally re-designed (by Morhped). The only ones IMO that could use better models is Crylink, Nex and even T.A.G. (though that image looks nothing like the T.A.G. :p I don't even know what it's supposed to be). I also think people would agree that the T.A.G. could use a new design.

PS. I am going to model out a jetpack (which will only be on the ground, not on the player models), however, I do not have a ready concept yet. I was planning on coming up with something, but if you feel you're up to it then perhaps you wanna do it? You are way better concept artist than me.

@lovelybr:
Hey there. Firstly, what do you like creating? Is it environments, characters or something else? I really like the 'Cloaked' image, conveys really good feel and atmosphere. When looking at your images I get the feel you're more of a generalist that does many things. Usually, people here do what they like and are interested in, so you can pick yourself what you like to do. Did you have something in mind?

So to sum it up what we need in terms of concepts:
Weapons:
Crylink
T.A.G. Seeker (optional; if good concept is made it might change the current)
Nex (optional; if good concept is made it might change the current)

Misc:
Jetpack (a model on the ground, not on actual player models)
Runes (for the game mode Rune. I believe 5 different concepts for the various effects, I lost the file where I had this written up so I don't know which effects are needed)

PS. The Runes is also something I'm working on, but I haven't made concepts for that yet.

So am I in? And actually, I like to do anything, But like drawing characters and landscapes... will this game have a story line? Or is it just multi-player? anyway, I could draw you up a jet pack and maybe a gun.. cause I have a really good one in mind!
anyway... I would like to more about the game itself if that isn't too much to ask, like where it's placed, (environments) what time(weapons and looks) and stuff like that... thanks

Well, there doesn't really exist a story. Most people here on the forums seem however to agree on that it's way into the future. Where you can travel between different planets and solar systems etc.
Best way of trying to figure out where and how this is played out is to look at current player models and maps. It's ones own choice to imagine what backstory there is if one so want.

Sure, if you have concepts for weapons and jetpack fire it up. Post it up on the forums (separate thread) for critique and input. How it's been up to know has been very loose. People grab projects up for themselves but if someone else better comes along then there's more to choose from.
Keep in mind that the style has to fit Nexuiz. Play some Nexuiz to get a feel for the design, style and overall atmosphere.

I took up the time to put together a character, which I think is very original, any feedback would be appreciated. I played the game and I have the main gist of what is going on! http://lovelybr.deviantart.com will be the place where I post my work, if that is okay. I have thrown together a landscape/map, on paper, just need to put it on the computer... I t will be C.T.F. map, I would suspect, very intense atmosphere. xD Hope you like my character concept. Also, I made a concept for an alien gun, but I am not sure if you guys would like it.. it's in my scraps on deviant art. Alien gun it's called.. I figured what it would do, and charge time animations but I'm not sure if it's.. too much. Feedback is nice as well xD

Hey, that's a very nice character concept, looking really good! And you nailed the style and feel for Nexuiz in my opinion as well. That's really good if you've just only played it a bit, good perception!

You have an interesting view on the alien gun concept. Now, I don't know how well a 'Blind' weapon would fit in in Nexuiz. If many people used it in FFA there would be chaos But I could see other uses for such a unique weapon like (sticky)mines or something.

I suggest for you to create a thread for yourself, maybe something like I have done (The ai Frontier), where I post all my work which people can comment, critique and give suggestions for. That way it's easy to see if new stuff been posted and doesn't create all those separate threads which you would have to look up and search for.
I can really see a future for such a character you created. I hope people will give their feedback on what they think.

Good luck ^_^

Well the character certainly fits the style of Nexuiz. I am impressed how fast you are and how well you adopt to the style of this game.

As for the alien gun, somehow the aliens in Nexuiz are rather technique-oriented than bio-mass-like. But the idea of a blinding weapon sounds interesting to me, reminds me of flash missiles in a game called Descent 2 which I quite liked

Anyhow, I really like your work.
