Is False God art possible? https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=36739.msg461157#msg461157
« on: February 17, 2012, 03:05:11 am »
I was mindlessly browsing through Deviantart while FG grinding in another tab when I realized that it would be sweet if we could get artistic interpretations of the False Gods. The Elements community has already contributed amazing art for the cards (GotP anyone?), so I'm sure the talent is here for this project. Having some impressive art would not only help flesh out the False Gods but could help spread the word about Elements around since art, especially good art, tends to be circulated like lightning on the web.

Anyone else interested in this idea? If this topic/idea has been suggested or art actually has already been done and is floating around somewhere please let me know. I'd love to see the False Gods in all their glory  :D

Think there was a thread like this a long time before. It was very interesting so yeah. Only problem is, FGs showing a portrait before each battle will get really tiring during FG farming, so perhaps have a picture/art/link/icon at the oracle each day when he predicts a FG?

At least we can work on it first. As of where to put it, we can worry about that later.
Also i think there's an Eternal Phoenix art somewhere. ~Napalm?

well first lets determine what fg's we think of as male and female and then create art around it also the art should be based off the name and the theme of the deck of course. (even if most of the names of fg's are based off the contents of there decks)
The Devil what more is there to say.

MAKE A BIG PROJECT TO ILLUSTRATE ALL THE FGS POSSIBLE!

Then we move this to the art section. (maybe also makes the "tarot" version of elements? The Rainbow, The Obliterator in card pics?)
Anyway, if we really want to start, everyone should post their opinion on how does the FGs looked like in their imagination.

Thankfully mythology already gives us the forms for Hecate, Hermes, and Osiris.

2. Simple fixes for simple problems.
3. Remember to fill in the holes.

If you search the web you could probably find most of them are already out thereor at least something close.

Glad to see all the responses. We might be able to turn this into a project yet. I really want to make this a reality.

MAKE A BIG PROJECT TO ILLUSTRATE ALL THE FGS POSSIBLE!

Then we move this to the art section. (maybe also makes the "tarot" version of elements? The Rainbow, The Obliterator in card pics?)
Anyway, if we really want to start, everyone should post their opinion on how does the FGs looked like in their imagination.
I like the suggestion! I'll start us off. Once we get enough people interested we can start looking for people to sketch out concepts. I'll start with my take on three False Gods I really like, but feel free to contribute your ideas to any and all of the FGs. Pitch in your ideas and I'll make a poll of the ones people find most interesting so we can slowly get a master list of what we would most like to see in the False God's art. When you post your ideas try to approximate the following description style. You don't need to add everything, but keep it like this to make it easy for others to sort through and find ideas they agree/disagree with.

Akebono
-Gender: Male
-Color Scheme: Brown/Black/Deep orange
-Size: Massive
-Concept (detailed): Round body, mostly due to his dusty armor being curved like a knight's breastplate with a round stomach. The armor is the same color tone as his body, it is hard to tell where his skin begins and his armor ends. He is crouching, staring intensely straight at you with both fists on the ground. Despite his weight, he looks about to pounce. Strapped over his right shoulder is a more rugged version of the Tower Shield. A mountain of similar size is shown behind him as scale for his massive size. Keen eyes see the Titan carelessly propped against it.

-Notes: Idea came from the beginning of a sumo match (prior to the tachi-ai) due to the namesake and legendary sumo wrestler Akebono Tarō. The Titan is humorously put aside as a nod to the weapons-free nature of sumo.
Jezebel
Gender: Female
-Color Scheme: Black with a blue tinged background
-Size: Medium
-Concept (detailed): Most of the picture is obscured by swirling darkness. In the center you can make out a figure who has a hand up to her face trying to cover it. She is swathed in the thick robes of Nymphs. You can only see bits of the robes, but it's so dark you can only imagine its true color. Her eyes, fully shrouded by the darkness, have dark blue tears flowing from them as though she's pleading for help. But her hand fails to fully cover her mouth, and you see it twisted into a cruel smile with shiny white teeth showing. And clutched in her other hand, held limply by her side, you can just make out the shape of a long, black dagger...

-Notes: My creepy interpretation of Jezebel as the sneaky, murderous queen of nymphs. Darkness is obviously reference to her generous (ab)use of Cloak, inability to see her true color is the Nymphs that spring up behind the Cloak, tears are Nymph's Tears, and the dagger is...I'll give you three guesses  :D
Paradox
Gender: ? (indeterminate)
-Color Scheme: Background is a clear mirror on right. Checkered white and black.
-Size: Medium-large
-Concept (detailed): Paradox is an enigma, standing with a slightly drooped head with not an inch of skin visible. Its face is obscured by a mask, which has a frowning, clown-like appearance to it. Its costume is entirely checkered, and Divine Glories patches are stitched into the fabric down the front. The mirror to its right inexplicably show Paradox flipped entirely upside down. However, something is odd; the mirror mask at first looks like it's frowning from this angle as well (the corners are turned down). You realize the "mask" in the mirror has, instead of a frown, a broad smile..

-Notes: Idea was a blend of Pale Man/Voldo style look, where you innately know you don't want Paradox to truly see you. The mirrors are a reference to Twin Universe, Divine Glory is obvious, and the upside-down frown trick presents the chilling idea that what you thought was a mirror may not be one at all.
I had a blast writing these. Add your own and I'll keep posting my take on the rest when I get time.

Gemini
 Gender: Male
 -Color Scheme: Gradient between  :gravity color and  :aether color
 -Size: Medium, Medium-large
 -Concept (detailed): They are twins. One is somewhat slim and trying to stay back, and has Phase spiders climbing over his right arm. Next to him is a phase dragon. The other is somewhat muscular and is trying to go forward, and has a Gravity orb (from the momentum card) floating above his (left) hand. Next to him is a massive dragon.
