    Default Alternative designs

    As I said a bit ago in THIS blog, I was thinking of doing a design thing where we build on each others designs.

    The basis of this is to have fun, and come up with new ideas for characters, objects, places, what have you. This isn't "Your design is shit, I'm gonna make it better", it's "Hm, I think this design could be more interesting if it had this and that". It's more getting an outside view on your creations, perhaps even helping point out your strengths and weaknesses when it comes to certain artistic forms.

    So, here's how it goes. To begin with, everyone designs something - whether that be an object, a character, or whatever - ether through drawing, writing, or whatever else you can come up with, and post it here. After that, pick someone else's design you like or think you can do something with, and build upon it and change it to something you'd prefer, and then repeat until you can't find any designs you can work with for one reason or another. At that point, you can create a new design from scratch. If you want, you can create a design from scratch whenever you want, and add it into the pool.

    So, for example, say someone draws a man in a suit, and you decide to work on that. You'd like it if the suit was fancier, so you give it trimming, frills, whatever. You then pass that onto someone else, who thinks that this man in a fancy suit would be better if he was a skeleton. The person who originally drew the man in the suit sees that he can do something with the skeleton in a fancy suit, and that person who made the skeleton man in a suit finds he can do something with one of the designs the guy who drew the man in the suit altered. And from there, it keeps going on and on.

    I'm thinking of doing a 'family tree' kind of thing, with the unaltered versions of the designs we've come up with at the start, which then extend out into the multiple variations of it, and the variations of the variations. It let's you see the evolution of a certain design, how it changes and all the variants and differences it can have, while also seeing what it all originated from. As you can imagine, this OP is going to get very hider heavy near the end, unless someone can find a better way of doing things.

    I'll make a thing in due time, preferably when my muscles don't ache and have enough energy to perform more then basic functions.

    Spoiler: Thing I've been working on for a bit. Technically two designs, with some experimentation already done but, interested in seeing different interpretations while I myself are experimenting with them 


    And now, I wait for another...

    Spend as much time as you want. If you wanna finish it up, go ahead, no one's rushing you. I've just used a previous design as I've been feeling under the weather recently.
