Schweet! Looks like Blisterz Booty has four nostrils:p
Lovin' the hi-resness!

I must admit that the first fan letter I ever wrote to a book publisher was sent to Ballistic immediately after I picked up EXPOSÉ. From the moment I flipped opened the cover I was amazed and inspired and felt the need to applaud their outstanding accomplishment. Never before had I seen such an incredible compilation that showcased the best in digital art from around the globe. This was particularly refreshing (and valuable) as it opened our eyes to more of the amazing talent that is emerging from international territories - such as Indonesia, Korea, and China - that we so seldom have the opportunity to glimpse.

Just seeing those pictures releases a mass of endorphins into my brain.

Xavier 05-02-2004 08:00 AM

Glad you like them :)

what nostrils? Do you mean those dots between his eyes?

Oh, and LOVE those salamanders.

They are nostrils, you can tell by the lighting that they are slightly raised-embossed from his head.

Xavier 05-04-2004 07:39 AM

this guy only has 2 nostrils, you can see it clearly on the christmass card

oddguy 05-04-2004 09:03 AM

I only saw two, but SS made me notice that there are four in this pic. The lower nostrils aren't as clear as the top ones, but they're there. Look closely!

Xavier 05-04-2004 09:04 AM

yeah, maybe they are just some pigmentation
but is sure does like he has 4 nostrils

oddguy 05-04-2004 09:13 AM

Blisterz Booty and Flint "Explosivez" McGee are the same species I believe. Look at this pic, his veil has four holes for his nostrils. You can see it.

hmmm
look at those:

http://www.depthsofoddworld.com/imag.../CG_Intro3.htm

seems there are only 2

oddguy 05-04-2004 09:24 AM

Interesting. Maybe OWI wanted to make it different from MO. Munch had nostrils on his forehead, so maybe they added another set to make it different for Blisterz Booty and Flint "Explosivez" McGee. Just a theory. We do know those guys are making the finishing touches.

Esus 05-04-2004 09:26 AM

You can just about see the lower 2 nostrils on the xmas card, though they could easily be nostril-like spots.

I still havnt got a clue what that CG intro pic is showing :s

Xavier 05-04-2004 09:29 AM

jup, we will know for sure in the final version... :p

oddguy 05-04-2004 09:31 AM

We must be bored. We're debating the number of nostrils on a video game character for crying out loud! :rolleyes: Need...more...info! Must have!

-oddguy

Sekto Springs 05-04-2004 09:42 AM

Yes, the chrstmas card shows four nostrils, but the lower set seem faded, maybe he has a breathing system in which he breaths through one set and the other closes and then he switches again, that would be interesting to incorporate into CG.

Shell Man 05-04-2004 11:13 AM

...
 
The close-up CG pic clearly shows that they are just spots, like the ones all over his upper lip. That's the only pic that should count, since it's the most close up, and you can see the spots in question.

Xavier 05-05-2004 04:02 AM

I do agree with shell man on this one...
I think they only have 2

oddguy 05-05-2004 05:59 AM

Well, as long as they can breathe through their nose...I'm cool.

Oddish 05-05-2004 07:16 AM

Hmmm it appears there's a river on left hand side, behind the Slamanders, it has fog.
And near Blizerz booty right foot,is a hay stack or a pile of sticks!

We can see that the Slamanders are water type creature.

Cool!

Xavier 05-05-2004 09:41 AM

I love the counting scraches on the booty
counting the numbers of victims

Sekto Springs 05-05-2004 09:55 AM

I also notice that BB's suspender straps don't go all the way over his shoulders, they stop as soon as they reach the bottom of his shirt, weird, I've never seen suspenders like that.

Oh, an look....the Sali's have cute li'l flipper-tails :blush:

Well they're probably not suspenders, rather ... descenders!?! I mean instead of holding his pants up they're pulling his shirt down to limit the amount of belly-flashing.

And good spot on the salamander tails. I thought they were just the knot on their loincloths until you pointed them out.

Xavier 05-06-2004 07:43 AM

cute tails indeed...
I wonder what the big "boxer madaillon" Blitzerz is wearing is.
D. Caste Raider seems to have the same one

It's not clear, but it probly has some sort of cartel symbol ingraved in the metal, maybe who they work for.

And it's spelled 'Blisterz'.....:p

Xavier 05-06-2004 09:12 AM

my bad... Blisterz... ok...
that's what I tought but I wanted to know what other people tought

Nate 05-06-2004 12:37 PM

If you really zoom in (and use your imagination) it looks a bit like a face with a beak.

I just noticed the mottled colour on the salamander's bodies. It looks cool.

paramiteabe 05-19-2004 12:54 AM

Notice the factory they are standing in the background? Notice how massive they look?

What factory? Also the image was the same that we saw on the X-factor, but with no Slamanders.
