For some reason, Vox is excruciatingly slow today... and right when I have a heap of sketches to upload. *sigh* So I'll only share the first batch and more will be coming tomorrow, IY"H.
This is only a quick logo sketch for EotS, just showing the
masses, the layout and the color scheme. Other than that, it's
hideously ugly. ;] I just want you to see the progress from here to
whatever beautiful logo we'll end up having... er.... *flees*
Soldier's uniform. (Today seems to be clothing day.)
And this one, showing a random citizen and another random citizen's head:

The Ereni have a heap of color
symbolism (just like I have a heap of sketches...) so maybe I should
post something on that, too, before I delve into the clothes thing.
A very quick sketch of Eye of the
Storm's main character. She is from Norway, and after LONG
deliberation and making sure no one else has this name (tusen takk til
SSB) I named her
Silje M[arit] Martinsen. There are some Silje Martinsens (I didn't want
a very rare and/or implausible-sounding name) but no Silje M.
Martinsen. Yay!
I originally wanted her hair to be blonde (read: yellow), but I didn't like the end result so I switched to orange. BTW she is going to change hairstyles during the course of the game.
I discussed ideas with Betonabrosz. He made me realize that since very little is posted yet, I should post a little outline of what my plans are...
Eye of the Storm is going to be a Nintendo DS game, in the 'Japanese' RPG genre (think Final Fantasy N, Chrono Trigger, etc.)
* mainly controlled using the keys, but with some features that use the stylus and the microphone (the latter will be optional)
* hand-drawn graphics, no 3D (unless we come across a great 3D artist who can create really stylish stuff... stylish is important)
* no real-time fighting (we're considering turn-based or phased fighting at the moment) and "button mashing" kind of scenes
* heavily story-oriented
* gameplay roughly 40 hours
* serious themes including war crimes, torture and genocide, but not a "gory" display - we aim for a T rating if possible
* aliens! psi! cyber freakishness!
The main character is a Norwegian military intelligence officer who is sent to Eren as a liaison officer a few years after the war. She is chosen for her skill with the māwal, but little does she know that it is going to do her more harm than good, at least in the short term...
After a nice intro set on Eren which showcases the game's unique universe and weirds the player out (at least that's the goal) the actual story is going to start on a planet that is much more Earth-like than Eren: this is so that the player is gradually experiencing increasing weirdness. If everything was dropped on him/her at once, it'd be rather hard to digest. (One of the themes is culture shock, though... so it will not be easy to digest, but I still want it to remain intelligible.) Silje's first task is to observe the operations of the Ereni Peacemakers, the subject of the following update...
