Image Designer Archive

Last time I tried to reply to this post I blew the main power circuit on my house. Let's hope this goes over better.

Continuing on our trip through all of our wish list items...let's discuss tattoos. Also Sir Voor, would you be willing to compile what's been discussed about your Imperial/Rebel tattoo idea here as well?

Assuming tattoos were ever added...and keeping in mind they might not have time to make them placeable on every body part and in every style we would want...

1/ What would be the most visible places for tattoos to go? Assuming a person is wearing some clothing/armor. Pick TWO.

Back of the neck and on the arms. But I think this point is moot, because Tatoo's would give players a reason to 'dress less' that doesn't include sex appeal in the more strip-club entertainer joints in the galaxy.

2/ Where on your body would you most like to have a tattoo? Pick TWO.

I want my Angel Wings on my back! As tom-boy-ish as I am, this is one of those girl things I've always wanted. And POSSIBLY a design of some sort in the belly area.

3/ What types of designs would you mostlike to see? Can be specific or a category. Pick TWO.

Okay. Hmm. Lemme think. Larger designs on the stomache, back, and such, that would vary everywhere from scale patters, to wings, etc. And also smaller patterns, like armband type Tattoos and shoulder, ankle, etc. designs. I know, vague, but c'mon! Aim for sky, and you at least get the top of your house...

4/ What about colors? Black and white only, limited palette, or very colorful palette?

Vary by species. The current Zabrak Tatoo Pallette would serve Humans, Twi'lek, and Zabrak well, but a Trandoshan or Rodian would need something a bit smaller in range but more contrasting to their skins. This brings us to the biggest problem... racial balance. Can we say non-Wookie content?

5/ Size? Huge tattoos versus small tattoos (though this would of course vary by location).

Generally small or well detailed. I've recently had the joy of upgrading my system, and realize now more than ever that the bare skin of most races lacks fun details a Tatoo would add.

6/ What do you think of the idea of having Imperial/Rebel tattoos that would have a GCW function?

Why should I even bother to answer this? We all know I hate the GCW in any form. As a dedicated Neutral that's my job. So... if a Neutral gets a bonus, you have my vote ^.^

1/ What would be the most visible places for tattoos to go? Assuming a person is wearing some clothing/armor. Pick TWO. For me it would be thelower legsand arms

2/ Where on your body would you most like to have a tattoo? Pick TWO. Back and arms

3/ What types of designs would you mostlike to see? Can be specific or a category. Pick TWO. Faction tatto and it would be cool as hell if you could have PA specific tattos

4/ What about colors? Black and white only, limited palette, or very colorful palette? Very colorfull

5/ Size? Huge tattoos versus small tattoos (though this would of course vary by location). Both

6/ What do you think of the idea of having Imperial/Rebel tattoos that would have a GCW function? That would be cool

1. Arms,face

2. Arms, face

3. PA Specific, Custom (I'll explain)

4. Every Crayola color...whatever they will give us

5. Both a slider for size and positioning

6. Sure why not.

** I would like to ask that perhaps they think of implementing an actual art feature into SWG much like Windows Paint, Mario Paint Jet Grind radio...where you can, if you are skilled at drawing (like some of us are) draw your own custom tatoos. I think this feature should also allow Image Designers to be able to craft a schematic for a PA Flag this schematic can be given to other IDers so everyone in the guild can have the same tatoo or can be given to tailors and architechts to make clothes,furniture,houses, and other stuff as well. Also this new Custom Art System could be used to custom color and design droid chassis,dye your CH pet's fur, and give them a Image Design, or custom design your swoop bike or toscan fighter (space expansion ideas)

Of course the main problem with this idea is the idiots who would draw offensive and obscene pictures, so it might be a no-go but in my idea Image Design can be a Hair stylist, Tatoo Artist, Artist, Decal Expert, Graph Artist, Personal Trainer, Plastic Surgeon, and many other things as well. Some other ideas to consider is to allow A Hybrid Profession of Image Design to be made for being able to sculpt many forms of statues and art, or heck I dont know...build on my idea folks

You know…one day I walked out of my house just outside Coronet to find a guy named Teal'c whupping up on a lair in my front yard. Now, I don't begrudge people doing missions near my house (unless they're commandos…stupid flamethrowers are making my foundation crack) but really, that's not very Star Warsy. I'd rather not promote cross-series overlap like that. (And don't get me wrong, I love SG-1…just not in my SWG.)

---

I would Not want a match, maybe a temple guard or have it on the arm. I'm no Star Wars expert so I don't know if there is anything in the moves or EU to base it on.

P.S. I always thought SG-1 would make a Great MMORPG.

Assuming tattoos were ever added...and keeping in mind they might not have time to make them placeable on every body part and in every style we would want...

1/ What would be the most visible places for tattoos to go? Assuming a person is wearing some clothing/armor. Pick TWO.

Arms (both upper and forearms), and Torso (including shoulder blade, lower back, and navel)

2/ Where on your body would you most like to have a tattoo? Pick TWO.

Lower back (belt like at the base of torso) and Arms

3/ What types of designs would you mostlike to see? Can be specific or a category. Pick TWO.

Tribal designs would fit SWG best. Astracts, knotwork and the like...no pictures, animals or images.

4/ What about colors? Black and white only, limited palette, or very colorful palette?

I would be hapy with a single colour tattoo with a palette similar to the Zabrak facial tattoos.

5/ Size? Huge tattoos versus small tattoos (though this would of course vary by location).

Larger tattoos will show up much better, but there should be variety.

6/ What do you think of the idea of having Imperial/Rebel tattoos that would have a GCW function?

I have not heard of this idea, so I will withhold comment.

Just a thought. ^_^

Anything I'd post about what colors, what I'd want, or where, has already been posted, but I did have an idea about Zabraks...

I don't think anyone else should be able to do Zab tattoos on the face - but I also think it might be neat to:

a) have more designs for zabraks,

b) create some one-sided facial tattoos for zabraks.

I just think the one-sided deal might look really neat. ^_^ So long as I get a shot at having a tattoo on the back of my neck like I've got IRL, I'm happy. ^_^ Also - I like the idea of faction designs for tattoos, but I'm undecided on whether they should actually *do* anything.

1/ What would be the most visible places for tattoos to go? Assuming a person is wearing some clothing/armor. Pick TWO.

(Upper) arms,Chest (male), belly (female)

I strongly oppose facial tattoos for non-zabraks.

2/ Where on your body would you most like to have a tattoo? Pick TWO.

same as above

3/ What types of designs would you mostlike to see? Can be specific or a category. Pick TWO.

For males: Tribal, celtic designs/markingsthat go around the upperarms or big ones on the chests. Dragons on chest part. (On chest part something big, that covers a lot of skin, and that can be seen from a great distance). Curled up snakes, that cover the whole upper arms and go down with the head to the lower part of the arms.

For females: things like the sunsymbol around the bellybutton, roses or tribals on the arm, and the pyramid shaped tribals that can be worn just above the waistband on the back.

4/ What about colors? Black and white only, limited palette, or very colorful palette?

Very colourful - like the tailorpalette for most clothing items.

5/ Size? Huge tattoos versus small tattoos (though this would of course vary by location).

Why not a little of both? See above. Chest for males should be bigger. Arms can vary. For females not so big.

6/ What do you think of the idea of having Imperial/Rebel tattoos that would have a GCW function?

I don't want a TEF, and I don't want to have to be factioned to give them.

Factional tattoos that have some meaning (e.g.identification of a rebel group or so)
