| − | + | In the first stage it's recommended that you do not only make silhouettes but also '''block out and clarify the major shapes''' for example jacket, pants, shoes. 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 [[Arcane_University:2D_definitions#Render|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. | In the finished concept art sheet, Armor and clothing claims require a turnaround with ''front and back views at a minimum''.

Any patterning or design details should be included as a clear, black design on the concept art, or as a separate file with transparency.

You can find these in the #2D discord channel on the AU. 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. | ||
