Here's yet another cover consept. This is one of those that was not chosen. And, for you guys, I removed the logo on this one

*chester did the linedrawing of the front characters.

This looks great! Colors are just wonderful.
I like the idea too. I have to learn make mountains like that!

Hehe... those gals are so adorable. Sorta makes me want one for myself

And your mountains are breathtaking! I've tried so many times to draw mountains like that and I can never get the coloring right. They look amazing... great work as always

Wow, I just love your fjell and the colors are just wounderful, got a nice glow.
But there's just one little thing.. I don't like the face on the kid to the left, sorry i can't explain it better but i think she/he looks wierd.

Hey, I'm enjoying this series of cover concepts a lot. I agree with DiXter though, I think it's because the lighting of the face doesn't match with the light comming from behind him, imho.

wow, that�s sweet, I have a little book about "heinzelm�nnchen" (don�t know the english word) with similar characters

Prometheus-ANJ · Posted: Tue May 15, 2001 6:25 am

Nice mountains. The snow/rock contrast and the overall blue-ish hue looks good.
Did you paint them that way or did you fiddle with color balance afterwards?

rulz.....

Frost · Posted: Tue May 15, 2001 6:59 am

Those little blue characters are really starting to grow on me (uhm, not literally). =) I think they're great, and this image is the best so far I find. Hug Chester for me. Nice work mates.

this series has been great, I really like the atmosphere you've been rendering and the mountains are wonderful.

LordArioch · Posted: Tue May 15, 2001 8:51 am

I can see why this one wasn't chosen as the cover (not a lot of impact), but I think it's quite nice just as an art piece.

Blir nesten n�dt til � f� tak i dette bl�fjell spillet. Da blir nok s�skene mine glade. Fjellene dine er helt sinnsyke. Minner meg mye om de fjellene som omgir sunndals�ra. Liker dem veldig godt!

Awetopsy · Posted: Tue May 15, 2001 9:59 am

this ones my fav so far...

Farwalker · Posted: Tue May 15, 2001 10:25 am

Your painting skills are crazy Joachim. I love these mountains you post. Keep posting and keep getting us all inspired!

Great job!

vebjorn · Posted: Tue May 15, 2001 10:59 am

sir likes-alot
I`m very curious about the game too;-)

This is the best one you've done yet. I like how the background seems so cold but their faces are kinda warm; reminds me of old christmas cards. Gives me a mysterious nostalgic feel.

Joachim · Posted: Wed May 16, 2001 12:14 am

hey everyone, thanks for the nice feedback !

topeira, thx !

-tepox-, thx. Hehe, mountains aren't that hard to make.

bg, thx

axo, yeah, summer is here, and I'm sitting inside doing winter landscapes :-(

jezebel, thanks a lot ! and, thx for the email

dixter, I agree with you about the faces. Actually, chester painted them first, without having the same setting behind. THen, I just took over and swooshed over them when after I did the background. SO, I guess the reason for the bad lightsetting is it that wasn't planned properly and there's not lying much time and patient into this picture to get things right. -but really, thanks for the comment, I should've been more careful with that area.

simon g, Hehe, yeah the mountains. Actually, The "mountain" isn't supposed to be any bigger than this. It's a small rock/mountain they live in.

janne, thanks !

grendel, I'm happy you enjoy it

Yes, I agree with you/dixter

dragon82, thx. No, I don't know that name. Gotta check him out.

anj-77, Actually I panted them this way, without changing the balance afterwards. I try to avoid doing that, since I know you can't do it in real life

-but, the reason for the intense blue, is the story. It's something calle blue weather, which the people with the hats creates..This makes the atmosphere blu and it is the only way they can go outside their mountain.

milkman, thanks, I guess

frost, Thanks danny! Mail me some day ! Hehe, those characters. ..hope you're not kidding

....This whole thing is based on kid-tv, so it's all a rather childish consept...but I like it anyway. It's doesn't need to have railguns included to be fun, atleast not for me

agent44, thanks man ! I really love what you have been posting lately ! -I think I might have forgotten to reply on some of them.

lordarioch, yeah, not much impact. It tells a good story though. Thos two guys watching the red girl sneaking into their mountain. Which is based on some rasism thing, I won't start explain

andskj, tusen takk! -hyggelig � h�re.

awetopsy, thx !

farwalker, thx ! Very kind !

vebjorn, hehe, you curious. I don't think this is the right game for you

Maybe your son though.

zorglub, thanks a lot. Yeah the game has a very christmas card based look. Or atleast the scandinavian type of x-mas card...not the glossy coca cola santa, but the more dirty look.
