The New World concept team had an opportunity to display their artwork that depicted scenes from the world of Aeternum in its loading screens. I had the privilege of participating with 2 images centered around the game’s archetypes. First is the Swordsman, who wields a powerful blunderbuss & a great sword. Following is the final image composited with a textural background and some tertiary glyphs for graphic flair. Some thumbnail images exploring a few initial ideas are included to show the process.

The second image depicts the Ranger archetype dressed in a green-hooded top. The weapon of choice here is the bow & arrow, aimed at a group of dryad creatures emerging from a primeval thicket.
