Welcome to Ill Fortune

.:: Fullview a must...a whole lot of the detail gets lost in the preview ::.
Welcome to Ill Fortune...a nasty little hive of scum and villainy. This is the teaser poster for my next roleplaying project Ill Fortune, set primarily in the little frontier town of the same name. Rootin', tootin' western action...expect over the top confederate generals in armored trains, abandoned gold-mines, cool-ass indians on the war path and plenty of high-noon shoot-outs. Ooooh, I am looking forward to this.

Created over about 8 hours by first creating a mock-up of the whole scene in 3D Studio MAX, which I then imported into Photoshop where I did a lot of texturing and detail painting. One of the most enjoyable pieces I've done in a long time. Hope you like, and PLEASE: If you have any ideas for stuff that's "missing", please tell me...I'm in the early stages of design, and everything is still subject to change. One thing, though: For storyreasons there can be no railway close to the city, so don't bother asking.

.:: Edit december 21st ::. Wow, what can I say! Thanks alot for the daily favorite and all the feedback, guys! I really appreciate it. And for those that might wonder: This is not the last shot from this series. I plan to do close-ups of the major points in the town once I get all the details of it right. This pic was originally mostly intended as a test to work out the kinks in the technique and to have people come with crits and suggestions to the town in general, so I'll even upload an updated version of this piece some time after new years. But again, thanks alot to everyone and sorry that I don't thank you all personally...but thank-you notes on this scale would take more time than making the actual picture, sooo...
