Not all categories can be designed and presented the same way and they are often subject to different expectations. |
Note that the information you read here '''might not apply''' to projects outside of Beyond Skyrim, or even within Beyond Skyrim - a project's art lead may have their own way of doing things. Be sure to clarify what their expectations are if you are unsure.

+ | In the first stage it's recommended that you do not only make silhouettes but also '''block out the major shapes'''. This is because it's can be hard to read complicated shapes with silhouettes only. | ||
− | + | In the finished concept art sheet, Armor and clothing claims require a turnaround with ''front and back views at a minimum''. Ideally, a side view without the arm showing would be included to show side details along the body. A ¾ view may also be included as a rendered version to show the materials of the clothing or armor, though this may also be done with the front view. If done with the front view, be sure to include a flat-colour non-rendered version additionally so it’s easier for the modeler to see. | |

+ | If any parts of the clothing or armor are very detailed or intricate, a close-up shot should be included to allow the 3D modeler to get a better idea of the details and materials. Any patterning or design details should be included as a clear, black design on the concept art, or as a separate file with transparency. See [[Arcane_University:2D_definitions#Designs_/_Patterns|Design Alpha]]. | ||

These turnarounds are NPC (and player) models extracted from the game and following these will make sure you actually draw the correct proportions - thus making it easier for the 3D artist to do their job. The in game humanoid models range in size, 0 being skinniest and 1 being big and bulky. '''It's recommended you draw the design on the 0 models''', as it's easier for the 3D modeller to create the model on a 0 body and scale it up to 1 body, and not the other way around. |
*To create good armour and clothing, you need to know how real life cloth and armour works. Study cloth, folds and fashion. | *To create good armour and clothing, you need to know how real life cloth and armour works. Study cloth, folds and fashion. | ||
