Re: Visualizing the Halo Universe Round 5 Summary

In Response To: Re: Visualizing the Halo Universe Round 5 Summary (TDSpiral)


: I guess different approaches work for different people. Here's an article
: about how working in constraints produces creativity. With seemingly free
: reign over a problem, we force ourselves into going with something that's
: safe and works. Like I said though, different approaches work for
: different people. An example in this thread: Quirel came up with this
: awesome concept of a Forerunner pilot, and the best I could come up with
: is basically a Na'vi.

: I actually do want to make another drawing though. Quirel got me thinking
: about the abstract.

: I'd try to go with both approaches for future rounds of VHU. However, you
: should be a little bit more lenient on the strict canon approach, since
: that does seem to be something that's tying a lot of people up.

Yeah, what I meant in regards to the rules, if I can use the covenant spaceship contest as an example, is that the rule saying it had to be a ship previously seen or mentioned, with a fully fleshed out background was very constricting.

I think it would be easier to just say that whatever is designed has to fit within the canon, make sense in the universe, but not be absolutely beholden to it. The fleshed out background is more helpful here, I think, because it allows people to really consider their design and come up with something interesting that still serves a purpose/has a logic.
