As seen on oddworld.com:

Michael Bross, J Mauricio Hoffmann and Raymond Swanland are back!

I think most of you know my love for Raymond Swanland's work so you can imagine that I'm pretty excited about this

Now if they could also get Farzad Varahramyan back I think my head would explode.

Far-zad! Far-zad! Far-zad...

It's funny because he's foriegn.

Well they're talented and awesome people, so this is a good thing - And also for the nostalgic crowd who want to see a touch of what made the original game great being implemented into the new game.

Raymond and Farzad are good, but give me Steven Olds any day. Twice on Sundays.

Actually that's not correct, those guys did not work on of the original AO. Only Raymond Swanland is listed in the credits of AO, and only in the special thanks section, so I doubt he had a significant impact on the first game.

Farzad? How much concept art do you think New 'n' Tasty needs?

Did farzad design AND paint some of the beautiful in-game backgrounds from AO and AE, or did he just do the concept Art and then environment artists produced the in-game stuff?

It's great news for having Michael Bross back, and Raymond Swanland is a fantastic artist. Is Raymond Swanland going to be working on New 'n' Tasty? I'd be very interested to see an Abe related painting from him.

No idea.

I just know I like Farzad's work. Steven Olds' work too now that Nate mentions it.

Hundreds upon thousands. TOGG needs an update.

I would like to see a friendler, more relatable Abe, with no stitches in his lips, and maybe a moustache.

This is some excellent news.

I'm talking about mustachioed Abe, of course.

Kids like sunglasses. Abe should wear sunglasses. Those Kanye West ones that don't actually block out the sun.

Steven Olds was my favourite. still is. followed by Farzad.

Make him wear a baseball hat backwards and give him a skateboard.

Jbot123 · #16 07-18-2013, 08:07 AM

And then give him a kilt, a keytar, and an AC DC t shirt. And a talking purple bulldog that smokes and uses offensive language.

Scrabaniac · #17 07-18-2013, 08:51 AM

Chuck in some lung busters and a gold OWI chain too...

Vyrien doesn't usually take this long.

***Xavier*** · #19 07-19-2013, 01:06 AM

You can stop this nonsense now.

Raymond Swanland became my favorite with that Ma'Spa painting in the artbook.
