Generating Ideas

These are some images I created from the program Alchemy. It is an excellent device to conjure ideas for characters, environments - virtually anything.

The following images are the results of my experimentation. I've coloured sections red to show what I see when i look at the images. This first one however has inspired my villain idea (which has changed from the last post) - a samurai warrior, with mystical properties. Is he human? No one knows. The image shows how I took the original alchemy experiment and what i changed to flesh it out more. I'm looking forward to making a concept of it.

Fantasy characters are always fun to create

The long repeated lines would be hanging decorations



The second image gave me the idea of a boss character in the game. It could be a bird like character, and the blue sections could be an extension of its body with the bigger area being two creatures, in full command of the character.

The third image gave me an idea of the throne, with the red silhouette sitting on what would be the seat. Everything else is very extravagant. Some of the white areas could possibly be stained glass. 

These are some initial ideas. i'm still looking to flesh the game out more, so i'm not going to rush into the art too much, because otherwise
