I'm thinking of starting my own thread with the arts for background and simbol of the hybrid elements, as i'm going to create them.
Feel free to rate, comment and add reputation if you like ^^
All in the first post, i'll update when i put others

Oh, Air/Life is positively amazing. I love it.

Wow these look really cool. One thing i could mention is possibly adding them all to the first post so all of them can be seen together. I can imagine that the comments might start rolling in and well see one every other page. nice work

Care to share how you made these?

i can post the .psd if you want, or you'd want more detailed passages for each of them?
-
Ah, PSDs would be great. I am interested in how you achieved this style.
-
Err... unfortunately i have the psd only of the symbols (which i put however)...so if you have question about specific hybrids, i'd be happy to answer you about ^^
-
Ah, I see. Oh well. Great work and keep it up!
Edit: Second thought, I am rather interested in how you made the symbols too.

Btw...backgrounds are simply some brushes and filters.
About the symbols...i made the first symbols by selecting the single pieces of each and merging them using layers. Then using half background form one and half from the other.
Now i'm trying creating the forms, so i have more freedom, and using the "make your own" file. :D

Wow, these are amazing!
-
Bad luck tht the actual engine doesn't allow 2+ elements card and skill cost... A good programmer would be able to do a whole better game engine even in C++ with the right libreries.
-
'Even in C++'? You do realize how much more powerful C++ is than Actionscript, right?
The thing is, Kongregate only supports Flash games, so remaking the game in C++, besides the huge amount of time and effort needed, would also lose Elements the huge playerbase on Kong and a lot of revenue.
The game could support 2+ casting/skill cost, but it wasn't implemented for a reason: Elements should not have hybrid cards. This has been stated by Zanz and many members already. The focus of the game is elements, after all, and the elements are what should be focused on, not strange hybrid cards. Not to mention the fact that hybrid cards add another layer of complexity to what should be a simple, casually playable game.
-
I said "even" because without the right libreries it's a very low level language.
Sorry about the engine's limitations, idk where I heard that.

Hold on a second - is this one of the main reasons this idea was rejected from the game? Correct me if I am wrong, but I was always under the impression that hybrid ideas were mainly rejected due to coding limitations. (The focus on elements response sounds a lot more like the reason for rejecting a 13th element.)
Also, to be fair - hybrid cards are more 'combinations of elements that fit in both elements' rather than 'strange mixes that don't belong in either element', IMHO.
EDIT : Ah, that makes more sense. Thanks for clearing that up.

Like ZBlader i thought too that the only limitation for hybrid cards was a coding one, and more than that, it could be a good thing the addition of new complexity, since this game has not to be a "simple, casually playable game"
p.s. 500th post ftw
-
Well, I'm not entirely sure what Zanz's reasoning was for rejecting hybrid ideas, but I imagine the coding involved would be comparable to that involved in creating the Arena. Like the Arena, I don't think he'd shy away from it if it would really benefit the game, which leads me to believe that he just doesn't want them in the game.
That phrasing was a bit bad. I meant that most of the elements are still lacking, and they should be improved on and refined before anything like hybrid cards are introduced. Plus, because there are so many hybrid elements, very few of them would actually have cards in them, so the hybrid elements would remain woefully incomplete for a long time to come.

Woah! These are awesome Jacker!

Yeah, that's the point. since the basic elements are not complete, it is useless talking about an implementation of these in the game, since they have to be studied and balanced a lot. Insert just a card from each hybrid would mean add 66 new cards, a lot at the moment...
anyway, i like doing these, so i'll continue until someone will like them :D

This is the possibly the best one you've done so far IMHO. Keep it up! :)

Thanks a lot ^^ i wasn't sure about this because it seemed too "real" for the game design

I'd like to see this as the Other card background, actually...

I have a slightly colored version of this card that could be used as a "rainbow" concept

That is a cool design!

It's not so much the Marks that I'm impressed with, but the card backgrounds. How do you decide on what you want to design for those?

i just try to see which features the elements have in common, or how they could be "updated" by an other element. Is not easy for all elements combination, so i'm starting with the ones i'm more sure about. As for the Marks, they are merely a different configuration of the pieces of the old ones, i don't wanna create a new one for them, so it's easy not to be impressed by them.

Fire Life here :D

I actually like the mark more than the background for :fire :life. They go well like that.
-
I would actually rather see a burning bush or something like that instead of a green and red fire mixed.
The mark is good though; the marks complement each other very well.

in my mind, the idea was that. in the front there's a burning brush (you can clearly see it), while in the background i tried to create a hot atmosphere...like burning hot beacuse of the fire.

:o :o :o AWESOME ART!!!!! :o :o :o
+1 For those! :D
-
I want to follow your footsteps............
AMAZING!!!
-
I'm not adding anything new here but... these are amazing!! Great job!
-
any fire darkness with the main symbol being fire? .. I like the fire death one, very cool. but is it possible the main symbol to be fire? I appreciate it if you have the time to do it though. If not it is ok
-
the problem is that the "fire" design is more usable as a complement rather than a main focus on the image. but i can try
EDIT: do you like it?

New! Aether-air
The concept is the idea of ather (the crystalized brunches) surronded by air (the wind). Rate and comment :D

Nice :D
how about a fire darkness one with fire being the main thing again. I wonder if I can add both into the avatar of mine.
-
all the marks are done now, but i will try sometime
-
Very impressive.
Nice work!
-
I really like the work you've done. But i couldn't find the earth/time one. is there one? :earth :time
-
O... Wow, amazing work. You know what you are doing, and you are doing it very well. :D I really like :death :fire and :darkness :water ones. They look like they could get world domination some day :P Keep up the good work, we support you! :) :rainbow :rainbow
-
thanks a lot :) i'll add some art in these days
-
wonderful, cant wait to save image of :aether :darkness and :aether :death

I had some time this morning, so... a new background! Light/time.
The idea is a Background with a strong sunlight where sands of time rain.
