Animated concept art for an unannounced game

being developed by Little Wolf Studio


I’m a big fan of concept art and as you know I also really like gifs, so the combination of the two is right up my alley.  The devs made the gifs meaning I got a day off to go to the beach (wee!).  Unfortunately there’s not too much information on what the game is yet, but I thought the pretties were enough to share by themselves.  You can visit the website here for more info, or follow the studio on Twitter to keep updated on the progress and to listen out for the official announcement.

Promotional art in Duelyst

Really love the additional art for Duelyst, there was way too much to put in one post so thought I’d add an extra one.  Unfortunately because I wasted so much time learned so much by fiddling with the Dawn of War gif I don’t have enough time to finish the full Duelyst post, that’ll be up tomorrow!

Bonus looping gif below that I stole from their website. =)

The Faction Art in That Which Sleeps, by Richard Luong.

I really liked the art and the descriptions from the game, so I thought I would put them in a separate post.  You can see That Which Sleeps here, which is a strategy game about weakening the world so that you may return. 

Each faction plays a bit differently, and these aren’t all of them, just a selection of what I thought looked best.  Sisyphus is the only human faction (top image).

Let’s see what else you can be.

image

Limos, Shadow of Creation.  

“An injustice forgotten, a hate without meaning.  Pervert the living, rend your children, and bring this nightmare to an end.”

image

Belial, the Shadow Prince.  

“Schemes drip down to a shadowed throne, lies echo in its black chambers. A soothing relief for the dead thing that lays there, a broken lord of the wretched.”

image

Karth, the Form of Fury.  

“They wait, persecuted, driven into dark forests and deep caves.  They wait, eager, for their blood burns as omens fall.  They wait, as the drums of war begin to beat.  Their God comes again.”

image

Inatha, The Wings of Winter.  

“Fear the mountains for the words that they speak, fear the snows for the horrors they keep, fear in ice the ancient’s deceit.”

Richard Luong (Tentacles and Teeth)

Elsinore by Golden Glitch – a tragic time travelling adventure game set in Shakespeare’s Hamlet.

“To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether ‘tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep;
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to, ’tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish’d. To die, to sleep;
To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there’s the rub;

For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause: there’s the respect
That makes calamity of so long life;
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
The oppressor’s wrong, the proud man’s contumely,
The pangs of despised love, the law’s delay,
The insolence of office and the spurns
That patient merit of the unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin? who would fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscover’d country from whose bourn
No traveller returns, puzzles the will
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?

Thus conscience does make cowards of us all;
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o’er with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprises of great pith and moment
With this regard their currents turn awry,
And lose the name of action.–Soft you now!
The fair Ophelia! Nymph, in thy orisons
Be all my sins remember’d!” 

Crossing the Line by Zomboko Entertainment – an absolutely stunning first person thriller where you must investigate the unsolved case of the death of your wife.  Sounds a bit cliche on the surface, though you are able to interact with the shadow world (wraiths, souls etc.), which could add a twist to the story.

GIF’s really struggle to capture the game (and colours) in motion, the visuals in the trailer are tip top, though let’s hope the voice acting is placeholder.

Chester United by Brilliant Blue G

 

Celebrating one month and 100 followers. :)

It’s actually been longer than a month, but sssshhh!   I wanted to introduce something a little new going forward, so I got in contact with jdpalmerart (who does concept art/sketches) to see if I could commission some art for one of the games on my blog.

I decided to do Chester, since I’m addicted to gifs and I liked the whimsical nature of it.  It was a bit hard to see Chester in the gifs, so we did a little digging and found an older image.

J.D. used that along with the in game character portrait to do awesome things, see below!  I’d like to try to do more “fan art" of the games on my blog, but I’m not sure at what frequency (monthly/weekly etc.).  I guess it would depend on how interested people are in seeing more.  What do you think?
