That is really cool, finally a pic of an unmasked Slig.

How did you get the picture to show up in a post, all pictures from geocities never show up....?

Cloverfield 01-08-2002 03:57 AM

That's pretty awesome!

I'd be interested to know where this came from. Way back at the start of last year, we were told that a picture of a Slig without a Mask would be released a GDC (Game Developers Conference), but it never eventuated.

If this image was released at that time... I wonder how Nathanton (who is a member of these forums too) came across it.

If you're around Nathanton, perhaps you could shed some light on this for us Oddworld fans who expected such an image to be released almost a year ago now.

Nathanton's site says that the picture was sent in by Xavier, so I guess we have to ask Xavier from where he got this picture. If it's really an official OWI picture, not a fan art, it is a great one! :)

Cloverfield 01-08-2002 07:05 AM

Ah OK... I hadn't checked the translation until I got home (I was kind of at work when I posted my last message).

Although I would have thought Xavier would have put the image on his site though (exclusive for Oddworld News instead). Plus Geocities is really annoying for linking from the forums (no offense meant to Nathanton's site, I just don't like Geocities).

In that case, I re-phrase my question... Xavier, where did you find the image?

Heh, we weren't too far off, hey Rach? *grins* (I think I'll stick with my cartoonish style though, as I think I finally got it cracked.)

moy85 01-08-2002 10:15 AM

does any one know were i can get good pics like the glukkon queen (does not have to be of the queen)

Xavier 01-08-2002 12:50 PM

I didn't upload on Oddworld News because Psykobee have no time to do it

So I asked to some people if they want to upload a very special pic

Nathanton said "yes"


I found the pic on a site... totaly normal
The articles are in French and very bad, but the pic are amasing, especialy this one.


BTW: it's an official pic...

Using bablefish how do u translate some web sites?

moodokon man 01-08-2002 04:28 PM

hey man that is also obviously a production design so maybe maskless sligs will be in ME
o my god o my god that is such a cool pic

Xavier 01-08-2002 04:29 PM

why do You ask that?

You yust must type the addres and select the laguage


I don't think we will se them without mask in the game, it's only a production...

MudokonOddball 01-08-2002 06:28 PM

That is a really great pic...i wonder what it has to do with future games as moodokon man said. (puts on comtemplation face) hmmm...
Anyways, i know that altavista.com has a translator. It's really bad, but it lets the point get across. There are some REALLY great foreign Oddworld sites, and i often use that translator. Any other translators than that i have no idea about.

ps i could just be really naive, but i have heard this name a lot. what's babelfish? is it an isp? i need a new one that can run through LAN and is compatible with and ethernet card. (wow, three subjects in one post. i must be slipping...again...)

The Magog On The March 01-08-2002 10:29 PM

Wha?! Well, I'm glad to finally see an unmasked slig, but it kinda looks just like a normal slig.. I expected some reason to have a mask on, but their face looks normal (well, for a slig)

Xavier 01-09-2002 12:05 PM

hmmm
I'm a little disappointed... I expected more posts on this topic...
But don't worry

Anyway, I've got others special pictures.
But you'll have to wait until the 14th of March.

We will upload Oddworld Maniac for the occasion. (Xbox launch in Europe)

Wow, thanks Xaiver for finding that for us. Im really suprised you where able to find a pic of this rareness!

Shinjara 01-09-2002 06:12 PM

Yeah Xavier, that pic is cool. I might draw it..

One, Two, Middlesboogie 01-10-2002 01:51 PM

That's it?

All these months of pondering, and it's as unfreaky and un-ugly as that?

I'm pleased that I finally know what maskless Sligs look like (and congrats to Xavier for finding it!), but in a way I'm disappointed. I wanted them to look so very exotic, otherworldly and alien. And that's it.
With hindsight, I'd have preferred not to know. I'd rather it stayed as a dark and mysterious secret.

Xavier 01-10-2002 02:37 PM

yeah I found it strange too

I have got others

Teal 01-10-2002 02:44 PM

I remember Rach said it reminded her of a beluga whale, and she does kind of have a point...

I think it's all that Glukkon propaganda, after all, we all know what they're like... *sticks tongue out at Middlesboogie and waggles fingers in ears and runs*

Xavier 01-11-2002 05:20 PM

One, Two, Middlesboogie 01-11-2002 06:12 PM
