Oddworld feature film concept art

Story 435 reported by Max on

We have a delightful surprise for Oddworld fans today. Oddworld Inhabitants has very kindly shared with us two conceptual paintings by Raymond Swanland that have been produced for the Oddworld film. The thumbnails below link to the paintings on TOGG.

We would like to stress that it is far too early for Oddworld Inhabitants to talk about the film to the press or answer questions about these images in particular, and we suggest not bothering OWI with questions they can’t answer. However, they always welcome interest and mail from fans, for whom these paintings are a special treat.

Lorne talks about why he switched to movies, how he is approaching the development for Citizen Siege and his opinions about the relations between the Game and Movie Industry. Major revelations includes the fact that there are going to be two games related to Citizen Siege and that the Movie is set for 2010 at the moment.
