That image is awesome! Great job finding it Oddish, I wonder what it is representing/ what event is occuring. Mabye this is part of the big ending we've heard of for the next game?

Wow, this is great news. I'm gonna get a copy.

Looks like a mob's after Stranger too. In a Shrek-ish way.

Whatever it is...it makes a great banner!

Actually, I think it looks like a promo image, showing all the enemies you have to combat.

Yeah, your most likely right. And now that I look at it there's some new bounty guys. The one next to Mortimer Bang on the right and left sides looks new and now that I take a closer look at the city I don't think its on fire, I think its some type of factory town or something of that type.

Esus · #36 06-13-2004, 12:32 AM

Awesome news. I really can't wait for this - and to think I was excited about the most recent Spectrum...

Well thanx to Alcar to remind me.If you go on the connections, it will have your files, and every image you've been on wil be there.Very useful if something has gone.

A very dramatic image indeed, the town looks destrioyed to me.

That bottom picture is most likely Alf leading Abe and Munch to that wierd looking tree. But oh yes when it comes to art Oddworld is qaulity! I wounder how much the original art pieces are worth. Those pictures are paintings and for all we know Raymond Swanland at first did those paintings in the conventional method and then did them digital. Thats how it works most of the time. Infact all the art in Spectrum are photograghs of the original pieces. But some are directly from the computer. Won't it be soo cool to own a large painting of that Oddworld art and have it hanging in your room? Mann the thought of haveing that is just cool!

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...

***Wil*** · #49 06-14-2004, 05:03 AM

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!

Alcar...

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.

***Xavier*** · #52 06-14-2004, 09:06 AM

hmmmm, never heard of it...
can you go to the store and make a photo of it?

***Wil*** · #53 06-14-2004, 09:49 AM

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)

***Xavier*** · #55 06-14-2004, 10:42 AM

***Xavier*** · #57 06-14-2004, 10:57 AM

hmmm, no prob, was there a main color?
does it look like an other picture you know?

Esus · #58 06-14-2004, 11:01 AM

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.

Zach Roy Wilson · #59 06-14-2004, 11:31 AM

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?
