Sounds like a plan, we have to do it On a more serious note, I think we should contact him - ask if he'd be available. Good idea. Or perhaps that'd be too much?

Indeed! Then this project would truly be a dream come true! Voice your support here : http://forums.obsidi...make-portraits/

Well, two Athkatla-sized cities would be just amazing. We simply have to reach that goal.

Great news, can't wait to play this game.

Indeed, proper care when creating naming conventions is one of the best ways to create a believable world. That's what made Lord of the Rings one of the best, in my eyes. It's a good idea to start from historical sources : http://www.s-gabriel.org/names/

Yeah, should save them a lot of trouble - and it looks very nice as well.

I'm very interested in onomastics myself, I love it when the names in a fantasy world are well thought out. That's one of the reasons I really enjoy Lord of the Rings - though I'm not expecting such attention to detail in PE That said, I'd really appreciate it if some work would go towards that.

I love it, the more character options, the better.

Resting two-handed weapons on the shoulder should be fairly easy to do; could be done for greatswords, halberds, hammers, muskets etc.

I'd really like to see designs such as these : Osvir, you might find this topic interesting : http://forums.obsidi...pon-mechanics/.

This game will be great. I love this quote. Thanks for the interview!

He's well *known* among Magic the Gathering fans too.

Well, same could be said for George Ziets - and it worked

Fair point - and I'm sure the portraits will be fine either way, to be honest. Do you think announcing Sweet's involvement would bring a lot of new pledges?

Aren't we already at the 2,8 mil. with the Paypal pledges?

Possibly, yeah. I still think that having an artist of Sweet's talent would be a good boost, though.

I'm hoping for weapon sheaths (it's a small detail, but it spices up character designs nicely), or resting two handed weapons on the shoulder.

As unlikely as it is now, I still think it'd be a good stretch goal to have - it'd bridge the gap between the Stronghold and the second Big City. I particularly would've loved it if they reached that second goal - and I think announcing Sweet's involvement would definitely help to bring more pledges.

That can still change, however. Sounds probable.

Yeah, while I loved the screenshot, the angle definitely feels a bit off right now.

He'll announce his involvement in the PE soon! I WANT TO BELIEVE!

Looks great, I'm impressed and I like the overall look they're going for. Now to see the characters and the interface...

Good thing George Lucas came up with the hobbit idea for him, too.

Yeah, I suppose this won't happen after all. Though who knows? Sweet might be hired later on, after the Kickstarter is over. But hey, we got an amazing screenshot!

Amazing screenshot! I love it. And great stretch goals, I think 3,5 million is very much possible.
