Oh gosh, finally finished. I loved the game so hard. My goal when drawing this picture is to make the characters look very much like their game selves, so I worked the hardest on the faces. Another challenge was maintaining the composition and not making it look too busy or look like someone puked a rainbow.
Any chance you played any of the originals? the first one mainly? There aint much art for those which is sad because its better (not the second) although this one is awesome. Nice job on the pic, I love the how the collage looks like wings
I really want to give it a chance, but the graphics really haven't aged well and I don't feel like looking at a bunch of concrete textured papercraft for thirty hours. Logically, artists are drawn to things with good visual design, so it would make sense that there is more art for a visually gorgeous game then a game with superior writing and development, but poorer visual design. I have gathered quite a bit of secondhand information on the original, though, and find it charming, but I will probably not draw something for it. On the other hand, I do commissions.
haha, "the graphics haven't aged well" is the FIRST thing I tell people about Deus Ex 1. (next thing I tell them is the controls weren't too great either)
However, the writing and story is AMAZING! It's just a shame the technical obstacles (eye-hating graphics and unintuitive controls) get between some players and such a GREAT game! [it could really stand for a re-release, if only juuuust for the visual side of things]
