Poll Added : Next piece of art from our concept artist?

[DarkTwinkie]

We are going to open up the next piece of concept art we get started on to the community. What would you guys like to see from Andree Wallin? After we've all discussed this for the next week or so, we'll put up a poll from the most talked about pieces and the result of that poll will be created.

Chris

[Ekaros]

Maybe the ranger HQ.

[Krakrok]

Ranger HQ
new Ranger HQ
Faran Brygo
Guardian Citadel

[Elerond]

New ranger HQ or Meson cannon or one of the settlements on west coast

[Daza]

Life in the dwelling areas. Depicting how they live.

[harold]

What I actually liked most about the Scorpitron concept art, was the background. So I would really like to see some more pieces in that direction: Cities, towns, landscapes and so on. So we could get a better impression of the prevailing mood.

btw: Seeing the Rangers in action would be nice too.

[BubbaBrown]

The Rangers spying on the local cyborg gang who are relaxing on a hot day in the podunk town they rule.

[Jammet]

The rangers, campfire site. Playing cards maybe, one guy singing and everybody listening, one of them examining their route on a map. Theyre eating, cleaning equipment, looking at the stars, in the distant back, the silhouette of city ruins.

[Emmy Lou]

I enjoyed his Rangers so much I'd love to see his take on a group of Jerks

[Zeronet]

Ranger HQ..

[TheEmissary]

I think it would be interesting to see some more ruined cityscapes and possibly some mutant wildlife and vegetation.

[Greenpee]

1. Wastelanders (a generic settlement, up close) during a clear, peaceful day. "Not a care in the world" theme.
2. DR HQ. "Training in progress" theme.

[ThePlanner]

I don't know what to suggest, except this: use the next several concept artworks to help introduce people like myself, who never played the original Wasteland, to the world of Wasteland. If the Ranger HQ is a big part of that then it should definitely be in the pipeline for concept art. If there are other key parts of the lore and experience of Wasteland then those, too, should be in the pipeline.

[Anarkopsykotik]

Rangers exploring/walking trough/stopping for shopping and rest in a thriving city, with all the prostitutes, thieves, beggars, and traders from various caravans it imply.

[Signal]

Ranger HQ
or
artist's take on "The Jerks" or some typical Wasteland 2 antagonists

[SkyeFyre]

I would like to see a typical town and its surroundings. What I loved about the scorpitron piece was the setting it was in. I want to see an example of the kind of colors, and setting your typical wasteland inhabitants live in. Where they live, people walking around, maybe some rangers walking through the center of town. Basically I want to see the game summed up in a single picture (as well as can be done).

[Lazy Nomad]

Mutants. We've seen humans, we've seen a robot, so let's see the other denizens of the wastes.

[Ronin73]

I'd love to see something funny like the wizard in the crystal ball screaming "what do you think this is?! The Bards Tale?!" but not sure that would be Andree's style from the work I have seen. Worth asking anyway

I do want to see more work that says "This is Wasteland" however. The Scorpitron was a brilliant and also displayed some excellent outdoor scenery. Maybe something indoors this time? The chess board in the Temple of Blood or perhaps underneath The Temple of Blood beyond the chessboard? Maybe the Las Vegas sewers with a few death machine/robots or even inside Base Cochise itself.

Failing that maybe some more critters in the Wasteland looking more at those effected by Radiation. A Nuke Pooch or Desert Dweller/Drool as examples.

[Wodwo]

A new protagonist/antagonist that is not from the original game. I would really like to see the evolution of your vision as opposed to updated versions of your old creation.

However, I understand that this is a very nostalgic project, so including an updated vision from the original in combat with a new concept would really be ideal.

I hope that makes sense.

[gautraudj]

Echoing what most people said: Environmental/Scenery type stuff. Ranger HQ is a good start (but please, feel free to depart from the Wasteland Ranger HQ graphic. We won't yell at you for breaking canon).

In fact, feel free to depart from canon Wasteland wherever it benefits Wasteland 2. Lets face it: you guys were working with some limited visual resources in the first game.
