Camael Posted November 11, 2005 Posted November 11, 2005 I didn't notice there was a small 20 page "Chronicles of Narnia" book included with a box of Cheerios I bought. There are 20 or so very cool drawings that look very much like the Icewind Dale art. I see the entire book was illustrated by Justin Sweet, who worked on Icewind Dale 2 among others! If I scanned the pictures you would think they were Icewind Dale 2 portraits, very cool - noone does it better - best prize I have gotten in a cereal box since the wacky wall walker
Cantousent Posted November 11, 2005 Posted November 11, 2005 I never look for prizes in my cereal. I wonder if I ended up eating any...

Krookie Posted November 11, 2005 Posted November 11, 2005 I don't eat cereal that much, I like waffles in the morning!
Darque Posted November 11, 2005 Posted November 11, 2005 That is pretty cool I'll have to track one down

thepixiesrock Posted November 11, 2005 Posted November 11, 2005 I put my prizes in a box of cereal once. I would deffenetaly recomend it.

Camael Posted November 11, 2005 Author Posted November 11, 2005 (edited) My scanner hasn't been working lately - maybe I will give it a try. The white witch drawings look a drow (not in the pictures below , some other ones) - her sleigh being pulled by 2 badass looking polar bears. there are a lot of pictures of wolves and a dryad. Don't get me wrong, it is still a cereal box prize for kids, the drawings are just very well done, and have that water-color kind of look that icewind dale 2 had. I just looked and it is actually for sale at Amazon, along with some other Narnia books he illustrated, with some pics - these aren't the best ones, but oh well Edited November 11, 2005 by Camael

Arkan Posted November 11, 2005 Posted November 11, 2005 The american concept of cereals is rather strange, its supposed to be something healthy and m "Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger." - Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials "I have also been slowly coming to the realisation that knowledge and happiness are not necessarily coincident, and quite often mutually exclusive" - meta
J.E. Sawyer Posted November 12, 2005 Posted November 12, 2005 Both Justin Sweet and Vance Kovacs did some contract work for the Narnia film. That certainly looks like Justin's style. twitter tyme
mkreku Posted November 12, 2005 Posted November 12, 2005 I bet they don't even allow prizes in cereals in Sweden, because of the risk of stupid people like me swallowing them. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!

Camael Posted November 12, 2005 Author Posted November 12, 2005 I hope we see work from Justin Sweet and Vance Kovacs in future Obsidian games. The character portraits for Jefferson done by Vance Kovacs were awesome and the Icewind Dale portraits and art by Justin Sweet were the best I've ever seen, his style is very cool
