Title: Moods Theme Challenge
Post by: yuyu! on March 14, 2015, 12:12:59 AM

Moods Theme Challenge

I just thought of this on the fly and decided that I will follow strike's lead and make a thread on the fly, too. 'Cause stuff gettin' done. YEAH.

What is this?
I'm going to make a fabulous list of mood themes (happy, sad, etc), and the goal is for you to make something that shows each mood. What you make is up to you! You can make art, music, sprites, pixels, maps, games?, or even write something - these are all forms of art. It doesn't matter what it is, but the goal is to convey these feelings to your viewers/readers/listeners.

What's the deadline?
Ain't no deadline. Do these for fun, whenever you want. It don't matter !!

What's the point of this?
To be honest, I didn't need to include this part. But I think exploring moods is great for any developer, artist, musician, or writer. This might help you to really zone in and explore how to add more emotion to your sick games, pictures, blah blah. Ergo, I think this will be an excellent exercise for any creators of anything at any skill level.


The Moody Themes
Let's start with some basic moods (some are more of "themes", but shuddup).

1. Joy
2. Sorrow
3. Anger
4. Fear
5. Serenity
6. Hope
7. Passion
8. Excitement
9. Sentimental
10. Lonely

Right on! :-)


I just made a quick drawing for "Sorrow":

(http://i.imgur.com/ghVh1OM.png)

It's a little sloppy. :( I experimented a bit with angles that I'm not necessarily comfortable with, and I think it worked out pretty well for the guy's face (what you can see, at least). The girl's face came out sorta weird, but I was working with a quick sketch and decided to color it. :B

I decided to try something different. I'm gonna do atmospheric, somewhat minimalistic stuff for these. Here's the first one:

Post by: yuyu! on March 15, 2015, 09:00:22 PM
OK...I love that song! :gracie: It sounds somewhat melancholic, but very upbeat and happy - perfectly makes me think of the hope theme. Amazing work, Halo! ;~;


I also really like the picture you chose for it. B)

Post by: haloOfTheSun on March 16, 2015, 03:22:46 AM
I have mixed feelings about this one, mostly because I'm not sure how well it captures "lonely". I guess it's mostly subjective anyway, so close enough I suppose.

A person alone on a derelict spacecraft.
thats wut it makes me think of
Title: Re: Moods Theme Challenge
Post by: yuyu! on March 16, 2015, 07:13:27 AM
I like it! B) It sounded more lonely at the beginning, and more adventurous by the end. Maybe da cute box guy on the cover picture decided to fix his loneliness and embarked on an epic adventure to find more box people? :tpg:

Post by: pacdiggity on March 16, 2015, 08:29:13 AM

This is my lonely track. It's shorter than Halo's lonely track and it doesn't have as many THINGS as it but I like to think I CAPTURED the EMOTIONAL ESSENCE of loneliNESS.

I'm not sure if it was the compression or my speakers or whatever but everything came out punchier than I wanted. ;9

That's awesome, Pacman! You musicians are rocking this place. :gracie: Heh heh...that was cheesy. . .


Pacman, your lonely theme seems to convey a completely different kind of loneliness than Halo's. His song sounded more sad, yet determined or slightly more optimistic. Your song sounds depressed, as if the feeling is inescapable. Both are very, very beautiful in totally different ways! ;~;

That's my favorite part of this challenge so far: comparing how different people interpret different emotions. Or at least...how they convey them! :drsword:
Title: Re: Moods Theme Challenge
Post by: haloOfTheSun on March 16, 2015, 06:33:40 PM
That's really cool. I think you CAPTURED the EMOTIONAL ESSENCE of loneliNESS better than I did for sure. Nice job
Title: Re: Moods Theme Challenge
Post by: pacdiggity on March 16, 2015, 09:50:48 PM
Nah, we just have different personal interpretations of loneliness in our headspaces.
Title: Re: Moods Theme Challenge
Post by: haloOfTheSun on March 19, 2015, 07:56:12 AM
I decided to convey a more subdued form of Joy for this one

Title: Re: Moods Theme Challenge
Post by: yuyu! on March 19, 2015, 06:44:24 PM
I like it! Very light and fun. :boe:

I really need to start making things, too... Halo is gonna beat us all !! :halo:

I really liked this one, too! ;~; I zoned out for a second and then suddenly the song was more uplifting. Me gusta B)
Title: Re: Moods Theme Challenge
Post by: pacdiggity on April 16, 2015, 02:02:29 PM
I've really wanted to work on these things and I've had a bunch of ideas for most of them, but my laptop set fire to itself so I have no access to any notation / production software. Of course creativity strikes when it's most impractical. All of my uni work I've had to do on manuscript, which is probably a good thing, but I'm pretty sure very few people will want to look at my interpretation of these moods on paper. Also I don't want to waste all my paper. Manuscripts books aren't free guys.

So I still want to do all of these, it's a great exercise, but my laptop has entered a different phase in its life. The molten phase. Huehuehue.

Post by: haloOfTheSun on April 16, 2015, 10:41:38 PM
Thanks a lot!

There were a lot of technical difficulties when I worked on that one, for some reason. Stuff that just would not work no matter how many times I tried that I've never encountered before. I gave up trying to resolve them, but I don't think it's noticeable for most people.

I've been wanting to continue working on these, but I got busy and then I got sick and I'm just now getting back into the swing of things. Maybe I'll have another one, soon. I was thinking of working on Fear next.
