Natural selection - concept to reality

<div class="IPBDescription">A new piece of artwork by obibun co.</div>I whipped this up really quickly. My inspiration is from the coming NS release.

Basically it represents how NS has made that huge leap from the concept and design stages to the completed game.


I call it:









Concept to Reality

Note: You'll see I did a pretty lousy job on the radar. You can see the little spot up there where it looks kind of odd.

Oh well. :\ That's what you get for 6 minutes worth of work.

    Cool idea.  I think you should make the concept and the reality parts more distinct though.  Having it all sprinkled together makes it a bit confusing and tiresome to the eye.  Try making the top half concept and the bottom half reality, or something along those lines.

    Very nice Ken. <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo-->

    I'm still not sure if I like that style, but it's still a nice job nonetheless.

    I like it ken, but I think it would have looked better if it was faded between the artwork and the screenshot, like Zerimski's.

    Not exactly how I wanted it but I'll post it anyway, going to try again.

    Also if there is anyway to get a picture of a map wireframed and then a picture of it textured in the same position that would be awesome. Anyway you know of doing it ken?

    gl_wireframe 1 or gl_wireframe 2 will draw polys (I believe); check <a href="http://www.natural-selection.org/cgi-bin/ikonboard/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=4;t=3496;st=30" target="_blank">here</a> for a better description.

    I like this try a little bit better, tell me what you think.
    (sorry about the horrible quality, I couldn't attach it otherwise.)
    Coil I don't have access to an NS map, thats the problem. If anyone whos betaing wouldn't mind doing it for me that would be very cool. I could just try another mod though.

    Yet another one, it's late and I'm fully awake and bored out of my mind.  <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo-->

    I think this one is my favorite of the ones I've done.

    Too expensive to just buy it...

    <a href="http://www.adobe.com/store/main.jhtml" target="_blank">Adobe Store</a> to look for exact prices. There is a Try-Out version free, just try that and then you can look out for the Adobe Photoshop Elements, a lighter and cheaper version of Adobe. Or you look at <a href="http://www.natural-selection.org/cgi-bin/ikonboard/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=7;t=4274" target="_blank">this thread</a>.
