Two Peices Of High-Res AVWW Concept Art

I've been working on doing some new concept art today so that we'd have a better boxart image than the old one, which has been feeling embarrassingly lame lately.  Here are the first two that I've created, and I plan to do at least one more in the next week.

The second one at the moment is the one that I currently plan to use as boxart unless I come up with something better; while I do like many aspects of the first one better, the second one looks better when reduced (which, selling online, is what people see most of the time).





UPDATE: It appears that these weren't quite as ultra-high-res as I'd originally intended.  I uploaded 2200x3300 px images, and blogger sized them down substantially.  Oh well, these are still really large.
Have ideas or bug reports for one of our games?  Mantis for Suggestions and Bug Reports. Thanks for helping to make our games better!

I like both of the pictures.

The first one grabs me more at first, but I think the second one represents what the game is about better.

The second one seems a little on the dark side though. I'm not sure if the different features will really stand out that well when it gets scaled down.

I like how you have things from different time periods in the picture though, the dinosaur is a neat touch too.

Very nice concept art :D

I think the first one is excellent.

The problem I have the second one is that I think the watch tower is a bit too dominant, there are so many other cool things in that picture that gets a bit suppressed with that image composition. However, the cold blue glow from within the watchtower is very cool and gives the picture a mystical feel to it.

I think it would be cool if you could capture the threat from the overlord in some concept art. Maybe the overlord keep like a towering bastion in the background casting it's shadow across the land.

I prefer the second one, but I tend to like somber, mysterious art over action-y.
