:

Farzad had left the company by the time they were working on stranger. Raymond Swanland (sp?) designed stranger.

Surely this will cause a problem in oddworld. Cause the original artist gone then furture drawing might lack a few skills/details. Dedicated fans will know the difference.

Could this be the fact that they are moving to movies. Using old drawings to recreate the story. :o

Xavier 04-17-2006 12:13 PM

Farzad didn't do much for SW... actually I never saw any artwork of Stranger with his signature ;)

Wil 04-17-2006 01:59 PM

Well, he'd left before work started on it, hadn't he?

Ninjaxe, changing artists is an issue that can affect several media, but Oddworld has managed to remain unscathed. The excellent filing system and detailed notes made by the conceptual artists help future artists to recreate the characters accurately. The changing style only affects new creations. I doubt it has anything to do with the movie.

Quick concept art question.

Im not the best with names , so who created the outlaws? same guy who created stranger i presume?

Sekto Springs 04-17-2006 03:54 PM

Silvio Aebischer (sp?).

Xavier 04-18-2006 11:09 AM

you also have to know the concept artist don't have 100% control on what they design, it has to be what's in Lorne's vision

outlaw king 04-18-2006 01:46 PM

So how the heckles could Lorne have a stupid concept like fangus " in his vision " . Those art peices are so un oddworldy!

Yes, these Fangus pictures sure are oddly unodd.

Xavier 04-18-2006 01:54 PM

I don't know... just keep in mind he is da boss

Nate 04-20-2006 07:06 AM

And remember that we are discussing a character based on one or two images and a vague description. Remember that there was almost universal loathing for the Grubbs when we first saw them on the X-Factor special and now they are generally well-liked.

Shrink 04-20-2006 03:16 PM

And the clakkerz! We now all love a good clakker.

Xavier 04-21-2006 01:06 AM

I don't love them, I tolerate them
I can't call that the same

Shrink 04-21-2006 03:56 AM

Yeah, I was just kidding.

Wil 04-21-2006 03:18 PM

I love the characterisation of the Grubbs, but their visual design still looks lacklustre to mine eyes.

Sekto Springs 04-22-2006 12:19 AM

Is it because they look like penises?

It's because they look like penises.

Xavier 04-22-2006 02:41 PM

yeah, they look a bit too much like that, it's true...
maybe to attract a more female audiance ;)

Shrink 04-22-2006 02:47 PM

They look overly simplistic, humanoid, and uninteresting.

I really wish they'd've used mudokons. Mudokons would have worked perfectly.
:(

Xavier 04-22-2006 02:54 PM

well abe has to stay the only savior of the mudokons I guess... that's why they needed another opressed people

Oddish 04-22-2006 02:57 PM

I liked that new natives were introduced, I mean it would be slighty off if Mudokons worshipped Steef, I just don't see it along with Scrabs and Paramites. But yeah, Grubbs look like dicks.

It would explain the amount of female members joining. Hmmmmm...

It just makes me wonder, why the hell would Lorne put penises in a game? Pretty lame question, but still...

Cloverfield 04-22-2006 03:06 PM

I don't think I'm attracted to Grubbs. *roll eyes*

I did find it amusing though that in their dialouge they mention something about looking like Dicks. I laughed so hard when I heard that. It's been a whie since I played though, but I remember trying to get them to say it again as I thought my ears were decieving me.

Purely so this quote could be added:

:

Hey! Just because we look like dicks, doesn't mean you can yank us around!


ODDREN 05-03-2006 04:28 AM

Fangus has a tail on the first art plus in Raymond's Expose 4 art there is a cat-like face above, so Fangus is (or was:)) cat-creature more likely than a human...
what do you think?:)

magic9mushroom 05-03-2006 04:07 PM

They should bring back the evil of Industrialists

Wil 05-04-2006 12:11 PM

Why? Had it gone somewhere?

OANST 05-04-2006 12:23 PM

I don't remember playing an oddworld game without evil industrialists. Unless you've played one that we haven't.

Xavier 05-04-2006 01:45 PM

I think he means ah evil and black hearted as Molluck...
Sekto is a wussy compared to Molluck :p
