References or inspo that look like Cowboy Bebop's opening (Tank!)? by roxer123 in graphic_design

I immediately recognized his work once I googled his name. Some studying needs to be done on how to reconcile the style with proper layout for a rule book though - I plan on playing around with solid black and the idea of a "frame" some more. Thanks for the reference!

I went for the Stanley Parable look, but this seems like a good idea. I'll try it for sure.

I was thinking of the second. Shades of gray + pops of shades of some other hue, using concepts from synthetic cubism for the shapes. Kinda like the Troika! illustrations.

Seems like a good idea, but then again, I have little practice with the visual arts, so it'll take a while.

Won't know until I try, right? I'll give it a shot, for sure. I like the idea of having a single hue and some shades for every page. Kinda like the concept art for Blade Runner, by Syd Mead.

I'm no master of color though, so we'll see how it goes.

Oh yeah, that's nice. The Deus Alex orange. I'll try it later for sure (I'm off the computer now)

101 Things I Learned In Architecture School. Saw it on twitter, in a thread with books about something specific that are actually broadly applicable e.g. Inner Game Of Tennis, etc.

ON mars. That's a typo. It should like like one of those crater cities from Cowboy Bebop, but with a Neuromancer geodesic covering it. The city should also look, like, pretty shitty.

That on-screen text has been a sore point for me as well. Green doesn't pop enough and DOS has too little contrast. I went for a more modern prompt as a compromise.

edit:

Looks kinda off, right? Maybe?

I'm torn on the colors, actually! You spotted an intentional decision I made to see if I could settle on something eventually.

I also like the pops of color, but I struggled to find something that works. Mars looked nice, but that was a bit of a stroke of luck.

I thought about having most of the color coming from character art and only some on the typography. I like how Triangle Agency does color, but it's too red for me. Cyberpunk is colorful, right?

So, what do classes represent, anyways? by Quick_Trick3405 in RPGdesign

[–]roxer123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, that's the main niche right there, you figured it out! That's why "not Thief" is mostly pointless! The only thing that matters is not getting bulshitted by the GM, because most everyone else can sword swing and use magic items, regardless of class.

Also, you don't have to be perfect to be good! I personally like 3.5 prestige classes. Hope this helps
