    Thanks all! :)
    I don't know when they'll want me to actually work on it since the game's not due for at least a year. But I'll keep you updated.

    Meanwhile, I've posted more SotA character concept art. Enjoy!

    Wow, awesome! As you can tell from the pic I really like your work. Out of curiosity, what sparks your imagination to create a piece that says so much one moment caught in time?

    U5 piece grabbed me since it made me feel drawn right into the action, a simultaneously hopeless, but heroically inspiring situation with a hero jumping in and bracing, ready to fight, and stand between the shadows and the injured man.

    This is great news. I love old-style hand drawn epic fantasy art and we need more of it :D

    I remember buying pc magazines (back in 80s and 90s) and whenever I was seeing a store ad with the box cover art, II used to drool over all Ultima and Ultima Underworld ones (they were almost always on the very top of the display).
    "Excellent work" just doesnt cut it. Cant wait to see some more art from both games!

    Hey guys!
    Segallion, Richard pretty much described the elements he wanted the cover to have, and the story it needed to convey. From that initial concept, the composition almost arranged itself. So this was pretty much a team effort by Lord British and myself! Of course, I was the one left to actually apply the paint to canvas, but Richard's a busy guy! ;)

    Right there with ya, selbie! :)

    Seon, you were having the same experience I was as each new Lancer edition Conan novel with a Frank Frazetta cover came out! I looked at those and said, "That's what I want to do!" So I ended up in the gameing industry, close enough! :D

    I'll try to return the favor with cool art, Themo Lock. :)

    Thanks again guys! You Rock!

    They have just over $100,000 to go to hit the target.

    Just want to say that Ultima Underworld is my favorite box cover design. I actually have it as one of my rotating desktop wallpapers. Looking forward to Underworld Ascendant.

    Whoa! Lots of replies and questions! Awesome! :D

    Sindariya Without the facial hair, I imagine. :D With it's simple lines it's kind of reminiscent of early anime spaceship crew uniforms, but works great as a fantasy motif!

    Alexander Bear in mind that the game is supposed to be due in 2016! I suspect I won't be working on the cover for months yet. :( (But I could be wrong!)

    Sir Cabirus You're funding at that rarefied level?! You have more passion and resources than I do! ;)

    Ravicus Oh, they'll hit it if the usual pattern of Kickstarter funding holds. The sudden rush during the end of the campaign often matches the beginning rush.

    Umbrae But no pressure, right? :D We'll see what elements the creators desire, and I'll try to keep the number down to a manageable level. Like three! :rolleyes:

    Thanks folks! Your interest raises the ambient temperature of my cardio-cockles.
