When I finally see your finished works only then do I realize why you sometimes say you may not get finished in time. This is a huge undertaking. I don't think I've seen an entry so packed full of action and characters. ;D Working hard is right.

Talk about overly crowded images... Well, I think 2 or 3 scenes are even missing because I realized that I couldn't get them done in time, so I had to set some priorities.
But some here is just for fun, some things tell a story over the whole image and some characters have some more or less close relation to Ekuar. (Ahdri rockshaper, Redlance also a shaper, but trees, Rayek obviously)

I hope people can spot the "title" build / hidden in this image.

I'll upload a more detailed one later that week, or put the separate scenes up. Ususally I have one or two ideas, but then more hit ideas hit me while I am on the road. And I end up with a lot of scenes that I somehow need to combine. Eventually I notice the limited space. I can shrink the vectors nicely (as long as ratio stays the same, of course), but detail get lost. E.g. I drew the ... what it that called, the white sickle moon shaped things at the finger-side-end of fingernails? I drew that stuff actually on some fingers because somehow something was missing. It was all good in the individual scene. After shrinking you'll barely see it any longer. :p
And then I wonder why I did all that detail... XP

The two heads in the sand are my absolute favorite as well! When is a subsidiary of Pike's shack coming to a town near me? I want it now!

No wonder you mentioned you may not finish it in time! This is realy a lot to watch. Those little details and hillarious ideas. So great! Ekuar seems like to have a loooooot of fun!

Whoa, this is intense! SO many things happening, how fun! I especially like the Ekuar in the "O", it brings a bit of the sadness of his life into the illustration as well and makes for a nice contrast to all the fun in the rest of the image. I like how it's not all strictly "EQ world, but how some of it's a bit more modern, you don't see that very often. Nice work!

Thanks, people. The low resolution does not do the image justice, too much detail vanishes. Can you spot the little visitors, the whole "hidden" title of the image?

> not all strictly "EQ world, but how some of it's a bit more modern, you don't see that very often. Nice work

Thanks. Well, most of it should be a possible thing, I try to stay relatively canon with the characters. Of course, for humour's sake I added some things like slide and refreshment's bar. Though it should fit Pike's personality, I hope. :)
The "E" of "the", yeah, well, I intended Cutter first to stand upon the logo, then I noticed it wouldn't fit. So I thought I need "the" anyway and started. The mushroom went nice, but then I ran a little out of time and inspiration and thus the E came to be. It was also a "hommage" to the Trolls. I left out 2 or 3 scenes and one of them would have included Trolls, since they also had an influence to Ekuar's life. And this "E" might be some trollish device. :p


By the way - if I counted correctly - this might have been roughly 50'000 (+- x) mouse clicks for the whole image.
