Alien Collab (+ Contest) Announcement!

Posted by HogGruesome - September 1st, 2024


Do you like aliens? Do you like drawing said aliens?

No?


Well too bad!

Welcome to the Alien Collab, hosted by myself and the lovely @ForgeFrog, where some lucky aliens will get to escape Area 51 and blow this pop stand with our crew!


What?

This is a collab/contest (I’ll get to that) where entrants will draw an original alien character/design that’ll be put into a final art piece in which they’ll be escaping Area 51!


All you have to do is…

  1. Draw your alien (following the rules below)
  2. Send your alien to me through DM here on NG!


It’s that simple!


Rules?

  • Your alien needs to be properly sized for the final piece (roughly 1024x1024).
  • Your alien must be a PNG on a transparent background (it won’t work otherwise!)
  • You can draw your alien traditionally, but you need to have a way to ensure the size and make the background transparent. I can’t do it for you!
  • You need to be scouted to the art portal in order to participate.
  • NEW!: The prize for the contest portion may be Alien Hominid, but we'd prefer original designs from entrants! This is a general alien collab, not AH!
  • The background will be a "big hole-in-the-wall" jailbreak scene made to fit the aliens that get submitted, so you can go pretty wild on how you want to make yours pose and whatnot. Just note that we want to keep things between the E-T range!


Any other questions or concerns anyone has can be posted here or DMed to me!


When?

You’ll need to have your alien submitted by November 7th!

After that, the final collab will be compiled and posted by me as soon as possible.


What’s this about a contest?

Finally, the good stuff!

We’ll be extremely appreciative of all entries we get, but one lucky participant will receive a copy of Alien Hominid for the PS2 signed by Tom Fulp!

The winner will be judged and decided after the deadline, and will be announced when the collab is posted. Exciting!


So, without any further ado, let’s get alien-ing!


edit (9/5): My inbox has been filling up pretty quickly with questions and entries! I'd like to thank everyone who's participated so far and note that I probably won't be able to respond to every entry via PM, but I have seen everything that's been sent my way!

I would to jo... God damn I'm not scouted on art portal. Ughrr

I wish I could join, but I'm not scouted:( Excited to see how the final art piece looks!

Nice collab, I would like to participate so I can try to experiment the field of alien design! Shall the alien be sad? Are there limits in the character design aside from the dimension?

The aliens are all going to be escaping in one of those stereotypical "hole in the wall" jailbreak scenes, so do with that what you will.
There aren't really any limits to the design itself, but we'd prefer original, personalized designs over ones that are directly inspired or copied from other things like games or movies, and I'd rather thing stay more on the G-PG side!

What exactly will the background image be like? Just a rough description of it would be nice. Are we going to draw our aliens running towards the camera, or a specific other direction, or not running at all, etc?

The scene is going to be one of those general "hole in the wall" jailbreak things, with the actual parts more or less customized to actually fit the characters that get sent in!
Really, you can do whatever in terms of action because of that, but running toward the camera is generally a good, can't-go-wrong option!

I'm not Scouted.

a dumb question cuz I'm a bit dumb-

is the AH style mandatory? example I make an alien oc, but does it have to try to replicate the game style? or is anything okay?

We'd actually prefer if you used a different style! We wanna try to keep things original since this is a general alien collab!

ohh I'll definitely be joining this! should the submissions be shaded or is it okay if it's a flat image?

Either is fine, and Forge will make sure any flat drawings can be given some shading to match the background if need be!

cant wait to participate! are we only allowed to do one alien?

Sorry for the wait! You can do more than one, but I'd probably cap it at 2 so the canvas doesn't get too crowded!

oh HELL yes. i'm doing this

@HogGruesome I only had 2 alien designs in mind so that will work out great!

@Morpherence Aww that's a bummer :( A collab blocked off by not being scouted. Also unfair to those who got unscouted as well.

@GhostPepperNG Yeah :( I mean I can see way but at the same time, unfortunate :(

@Dark290z Sadge :(

@Tyhond Hello! I have been scouted. Don't worry :)

@Dark290z Oh awesome! :D Congrats!

@Tyhond Thanks :D

I will try to join on It!

Oh hell yeah son I'm down

Hell yeah I'm down!

I like it. I will do it.
