Every once in a while, we all have to step back and look at the big picture; to see what lies beyond us, where we truly belong, what we really are….and, sometimes, we just need to know where to slap down a city. Today’s update is going to look at how we do one of those things, and it’s not the first three. That’s right, today, Mars is talking about map-making.

Waltz on over to the NCFC booth!

Hello everybody! This is Mr. Mars here with my first post on the blog! It is a momentous occasion, and I am utterly thrilled to know you are all here to experience it with me.

It’s a delicate process to compile a concept art update, mainly because 99 percent of everything I do is strictly confidential. The concepts are meant for games, not for hype. It’s kind of frustrating in that manner, as all the really cool stuff that I’d love to show off has to be kept under wraps until the game’s release. Still, I think concept art is an interesting subject, and I’m sure none of you would object to more goodies- even if it’s just a taste of what’s to come.

In trying to come up with a way to spoil you all without spoiling you all, I have decided on 4 images to show off just three of the many types of concept art it’s my job to produce.

Now that my goofy intro is out of the way, it’s time for more fan submissions! This time around we’ve got a bit of everything! Some jams from VdGamer, some lovely pictures of Chase from Mothergamemaser and rib78, some enemy concepts from scytheholder, MegalucasmodelML, and rib78. We’ve also got some nice area-type concepts from Fandangox and MalixDexide. And last but certainly not least, some excellent NPC dialogue from steinmitz. Keep up the wonderful work everybody!
