what is this? I don't belive I've ever seen it before... |
Oddworld Announces Artbook Retrospective
|
That image has never been seen before. However, it features Munch, Abe and another Mudokon in an unknown environment. The concept is also done in an unfamiliar style, to any previous concept designs.
Alcar... |
Wey-hey, OWF will finally let me post my thoughts. I was quite literally flabbergasted when I found out about the book! It's fantastic that OWI are allowing people to see their great work, and especially nice, of course, for those of us who love it so much. This is definitely something I'm going to have to save some pennies up for!
As for the new image depicting the statue, it looks rather Mudokon-esque, but has a huge crest on top of its head, and spider-like legs (that Xav and I think are used to hit the bells on the side of the creature). Interesting indeed! |
:
it look like Raymond's style mixed with Babbar's... realy strange and if I learn Silvio worked on it then I don't understand anything anymore |
:
Well actualy... I believe I recall seeing a life size poster of Abe, Mullock and all the others in a local poster shop... Yea, I know again! It had Abe on the forground, Drippik Aslik, and phleg behind him, Mullock was somewhere and behind all that where picture's of scrabs and paramite's on the rocks at the ending and beginning movie's of AO and AE. I was thinking of buying the poster, but since my room is all tigers, it wouldnt realy fit :P. Anyway, it was a cool poster to see. |
hmmmm, never heard of it...
can you go to the store and make a photo of it? :p |
Hello everyone,
You'll notice that the image Oddish found is no longer on the Forums. It seems there's a reason it was removed that CGTalk, and by recovering it and showing it around like a freshly killed prize, we've bumped into a couple of legal doo-hickeys. OWI asked us to remove it, so diligently we have. Sorry, everyone! Max (and the OWF team) |
:
Is there anything that's not ment to be kept a secret? |
hmmmm... yes:
a game is coming out. ooopsy I maybe said too much. anyway I bet that pic is going to be in the book! I'm so excited! |
:
|
hmmm, no prob, was there a main color?
does it look like an other picture you know? |
That was one nice image, I suddenly regret not saving it to my hardrive.
Oh well, I'm sure it will be properly released by OWI when they are full and ready. |
Stares mindlessly at images with a stupid grin, shivering, saying eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! in a high-pitched voice. Looks like someone's goin to Barnes and Noble when does it come out? |
:
That quite a few e's you have there. I bet there's going to be lots images that we hav'nt seen, this is just the taste. |
It comes out in Fall/Autumn, but so far as I know you just order it off the website. I'm not sure who this Barnes and Noble is exactly though, so they may sell 'em there.

All in all I don't think this poster was officialy oddworlds, since they just merged in a lot of diffrent pix into a poster. :). |
:
nope, just don't share it and don't publish it... keep it for yourself. Havoc, thank you very much for the description! |
:
Mwahaha! I have a secret image! I feel so special. :D -oddguy :cool: And sorry sligster...I can't distribute the secret pic until OWI releases it. |

I'm so glad they have decided to do this, I've been trying to find concept art all over the net, but hardly came up with anything. I can't wait to see all the old artwork they have not released and the new stuff as well.
|
I'm guessing, and hoping at the same time that each image is presented beautifully, with information about the image, the date it was created, the creator, and anything else interesting or relevant :D The book would SO rock! But, like I mentioned, that stuff is probably going to be included, so yay!
Alcar... |
oh, yeah that would be absolutly sweet!!!
anyway I hope there will be some infos about the original plots and stories if they are going to include prod art of plots that weren't included in the final games, that would be awesome Perhaps even art of "in-coma" projects like Hand Of Odd or even SligStorm! |
What im realy hoping for, exept for the pics, is some never released info on the game's story's. Both of the game's we already know and played, as one's of yet to come.
Im pretty sure Abe's oddysee had gone trough a big serie's of storyline's before they eventualy cam up with the shrykull thing, and the entire cutting up worker thingy. And maybe Abe wasnt called Abe in the beginning of the procces :D. And... maybe... just maybe we will see some screenshots from movie storyboards that never where used. Those will undoubtly be there! Man... august and september are certainly some exiting months!! - I have a new book called Lionboy 2 thats coming out then, which im dying to read! - Around august I will send in my own manuscript to a publisher. - This Oddworld book will be in the store's!! - The Sims two is released! - The main site of my forum will have its grand opening around this time... Busy time's!! :D:D:D |
Maybe a shot of this ellusive meteor strike that created the Mudokon paw print on Abe's Moon. :p But yes, pictures of material that never made it into the games could only expand our understanding of Oddworld, which is something I know we're all fascinated by.
I also specifically wonder if there'll be the Mudokon skeleton in there that seems quite sought after. I have it in a magazine, but it's terribly small. |
You mean the one from the AE intro?
|
Yes, dumdedum.
|
|
Most likely the information about the pictures will be:
1.Title of the piece 2. Name of the client 3. Name of art director 4. Size of the original 5. And what medium it was done in like: Acrylic, Oil, Water Color, Digital, etc etc. And a little bit of info regarding on how the artist went about doing the piece. Thats to say if they do this book like Spectrum or any other art book out there. The one thing about art books that differs from other books is that its more or less a picture book. But there is the acception. |
No, Havoc, I meant the FMV of meteors striking the moon that was excluded from the opening movie of Abe's Exoddus. The Mudokon skeleton is a proper blueprint. That skeleton isn't really a proper one, as you can see the ponytail. :p :p
|
hmmm, you mean the one we can see it the universe section, where we have to choose native, wildlife or industrial?
anyway I have a cg pic of a mud skeleton :p |
that one ..
that one..maybe..
