Welcome to the world of "Paint Hammer"

This is a fantasy world waiting to be created. A world that is limited only by your own imagination. Draw and paint your way to an immortal position in the realm. Conquer foul beasts and hone your battle skills. Your quest is beginning.

First Quest: Character Creation

Create any character you want; as long as it fits in some way into a fantasy theme - no high tech or sci-fi, but light steampunk is ok. Other than this there is no restrictions. You may be a humanoid, an animal, a mutant, a dinosaur, heck you could even be a 200 ft long dragon if you want. Just make sure your character has some capacity to grow and change as your journey will inevitably leave its mark on you.
Also, NO copyrighted characters. You cannot play as Link.

Startpoint: There is at least one starting point in each "nation". It is denoted with a star. You may start your quest at any start point on the map. Think about what you want to draw when making your selection.

Barrow Uplands = Hilly terrain with skeletons and zombies
Flatlands = open plains with tribal natives and elementals
Ageless Realm = Volcanic prehistoric with dinosarus

Edit your signature:
To play you must format your sig for the game. Follow this paradigm:
Character Name|Race|lvlxxx|pvpxx|Ex-xx,xx (ex. E1-12,14,21, meaning you've completed events numbered 1 through 12 plus numbers 14 and 21)|location(either name of white dot or number of black dot)
Link to the game thread
example:

Garlunk|Human|lvl02|pvp00|E0|Farwinds01
PAINT HAMMER! viewtopic.php?f=17&t=983#p14531

Hint: You may want to make this your sig on other sites too! :44:

Movement:
Each dot is one move. Black dots are normal encounters, white open dots are special encounters, and white bullseye is an event. Each piece of art you create counts as one level. You'll make one piece every time you move between dots. The event dots represent a larger area and will require more than one piece to complete. Once you have successfully completed an event you can note that in your sig. Events count both as multiple levels (one for each piece you make in the event) as well as the event notation. Once you have completed an event, the next time you hit that dot, you'll have the choice to redo the event (no extra notation in your sig) or to do a single encounter instead.
All the quests for the first three areas are written right now. They can be found:
viewtopic.php?f=13&t=984&p=14540#p14540

PVP is player vs player. These can be done at any time during the game, but must be done between two different users' characters. You cannot challenge someone who is not signed up for the game and you cannot challenge between your own characters.

lvl, E and PVP are your player stats and dictate what you can and cannot do. Some Events and special encounters require certain minimum stats for the character to attempt them.

Another tentative rule is that every image you make must contain your character in some form or another, preferably interacting with whatever is goin on. Sometimes it may be better or more practical to not put the character in, but the majority of your images should have your character in them.

To play, just make your character creation sheet, declare you starting point and edit you sig.

Farwinds01:
*Farwinds is a bussling community of vibrant, albeit practically nude people. Depict and area of the village in the late afternoon light.

Its that 'wtf' moment when a stranger walks in town.

Nick this is amazing! All done in ArtRage? I'm definatly joining in on this. But does everyone need to create their own thread just to keep things organised?
And how will the PVP battles be organised?

I especially like the second and third painting. They really tell a story and mood.

Thanks, Tom! It'll probably be more fun just to have everyone just post in this thread. Its looking like right now we've got about 4-6 people interested; so it'll make this thread big, but not too overwhelming and we'll all be able to come to one place to see each other's work and comment!

For the pvp, it'll work just like the art battles here at the kitchen already. One player will put up a "looking for challengers" in that forum. Then they'll have an art battle making images showing each other's character's fighting or whatever.

*It's a cold, early morning and the furs are on as they prepare for the hunt. A particularly savage warrior challenges you to a fight in a fit of fury

Floki is a proud pro thief in training and a well known wannabe-Casanova. While he may not appear all too bright at first glance, his troubleseeking behaviour has amounted to an extraordinary and lightning fast skill to adopt to any type of situation. Floki bears the potential to exceed in a wide variety of areas, if only he didn't waste most of his time on his (onesided) interest in troublesome women. He's never been very ambitious either and tends to avoid any type of hard work, unless it has to do with his passion, even though it has been putting him into unfavorable situations on a daily basis.

Just a while ago , he laid his eyes on the magician guilds head masters wife, and broke into the Academy in an attempt to save her from what he believed to be an "unfulfilled life in slavery". The damsel in distress hid her happyness about seeing her white knight rather well , but aggreed to join him , if he stole an important artifact from the head master and delivered it to her, in order to free her. Blinded by love and hornyness equally, Floki fulfilled the deed swiftly, but was subdued by the headmaster on his way back to the night chambers of the mistress. Enraged, the headmaster charged floki for high treason and assassination attempt, banning him into the realm of demons on the spot.

Absolute darkness welcomed him there, along with a hoard of hungry demons. As they entered his body to devour his soul, the artifact got activated and subjugated the demons, also teleporting floki out of the demon world into the Ageless realm.
He didn't really understand what happened, but beeing his easygoing self, he didn't care much and set off on the way back to the mistress to deliver the artifact. Only after he started ocassionally growing extra limbs- and heads that hungered for very weird objects, he got a slight hunch that something is fishy.

Floki is creative in problem solving but prefers to go out of trouble's way whenever possible, unless he can expect at least some boob grabbing. He exceeds at speed , specifically at applying it in the opposite direction of his opponents position, but still shouldn't be taken lightly , since his recent trip to the demon realm "blessed" him with a variety of weird morphing powers which he can't control yet.

Floki starts in the ageless realm in the Killrog's palace
