One More Piece Of High-Res AVWW Concept Art

Original: http://christophermpark.blogspot.com/2012/01/one-more-piece-of-high-res-avww-concept.html

Been working on a variety of things today, but among them was a third piece of concept art.  I feel  like this one emphasizes the sci-fi side of things more than the second  one, but I'm not sure I actually like this one better than the second  one; the composition and the colors aren't quite as good, in my opinion.  But still a piece worth having around.



Most of the work today was design work for the actual game, so don't worry that all we're doing these days is concept art.  Some pretty major stuff should be coming this week!

While I like the idea the colors are, as you say, a bit off in it.  Particularly the part with the dragon feels very "dark", while the sky is almost blindingly bright. It creates a kind of unbalance in the picture.

This is my favorite so far, great work.

It feels like its combining strengths of both the previous pictures - the glyph bearer facing a monster from the first, and the clash of different time periods from the second - without anything taking over. I agree that the composition of colors was a bit better in the second picture, the watchtower created a interesting tension that isn't present in this picture, but I fell it's minor and not anything I would have reflected over if you hadn't pointed it out.

I don't know if you read my comment in the previous concept art post, but this picture was pretty much spot on what I had hoped for ;D

I did see your note, and meant to respond -- sorry about that, been pulled in five or six directions at once this week.  Anyway, I was thinking of you when I included the elements the way I did, for sure. :)

No worries, just glad if I made a small contribution

I'm very excited about the upcoming refinement of the missions, have put the game on hold a bit until the mission system is a bit more fleshed out. Glad to see that the development is once again in full swing :D
