What changed
1917 - The Alien Invasion DX changes
Creating an artwork for a game is a very difficult task. You have to ask yourself, what is the essence of the game. Then you have to communicate it to your painter. Thanks god there are people out there who feel the same fire like me. This masterpiece is made by the Heavy Metal artist Alex Boca. He understands Heavy Metal, he understands Arcade gaming and he understands the beauty of soldiers charging into the plasma fire that will vaporize them. I am so bored by rendered cover artworks, the whole CGI stuff. I am more into the classic approach. Alex told me it was a pleasure for him to paint this battle scene and you see his Herzblut (Heart Blood) in every detail. Yes, it is made digital with a tool called Photoshop, but he didn't used many layers, there are many classic painting techniques that were also used by the old masters. His classic way to produce art fits perfectly my classic way to develop games.
