Re: Bonus images: Menachite Evolution *IMG*

In Response To: Bonus images: Menachite Evolution *IMG* (Leviathan)


: I actually posted the image below about two months ago. In a Fistful of
: Arrows artist's block, I decided to jump ahead to a page I WAS
: enthusiastic to do.

: I've been thinking of Menachite since the beginning of this comic... This
: first version was actually modeled after the Forerunner stations seen on
: the level "Halo" in Halo: CE. Do you see it?

:

: I wanted Menachite Mountain to be iconic - a mountain that you would
: remember. But Reach is full of ridiculously cool mountains. Seriously,
: almost every level of Reach has an awesome mountain. I tried to top all
: those with an even crazier formation than we saw in the game:

: And I was stuck on that till.... last night. When I decided to go to red
: alert and full-on "I DESPISE THIS" mode. All of the sudden it
: just looked like a stereotypical fantasy mountain or something.
: Over-the-top for the sake of over-the-top. It just wasn't a 'real'
: mountain.

: So, I looked back at all the sketches I had done in these last few months and
: was inspired to go for a 'pinnacle' look - something a little different
: for Reach's usual mountains (but something that was a bit more subtle than
: the last image). I dialed it down, I subdued the colors and went work on
: the detail. I think it worked.

:

: In the larger version in the postings above, you can actually see a bridge
: and a zig-zagging road heading to a little cave in the mountainside, with
: a small platform nearby. You'll be seeing a lot of that location in the
: pages to come. :)

Amazing work Leviathan, thanks so much for sharing it with us. Can't wait to see how you wrap it all up!
