Description
EDIT - Over at Black Drop Studios Blog, [link] You can read about the process of this image. Stop by if you are interested.Wow, long time no see. Once a year, SoFE - School of Future Entertainment has a competition which is called Game Concept Challenge [link] (My group won that competition two years ago). During these two days there has been a festival here, a real game festival. The game-mekka of Sweden really.
This year I participated in the 24 Hour Concept Art challenge and I came in second, woho
I got Halo stuff... I don't even own a 360. So I have some things I might sell. A limited edition Halo Wars and a Halo 3 wall graphics.
Anyway. The image, They are the Aztec Chaos twins. FEAR THE CHAOS PIG!
I think I only spend 12 hours on this all in all. The girl who won was absolutely amazing. But this really felt like first place. I was so damn proud

Wild pigs are not native to Mexico...
Warrior woman: "WHO ORDERED CHICKEN LEGS?"
Guy who ordered chicken legs: " oh crap..."
Not sure how well that spear will fly with that skull at the front...
I could imagine Tina Turner or Grace Jones as that warrior woman... talons included.
Pig: "Obelix will never catch me up here!"
Obelix: "A flying boar!" *throws menhir*
Pig: " oh crap..."
(menhir hits warrior woman and shatters)
Warrior woman: "WHO THREW THAT?"
Obelix: "Sorry about that, I was aiming at the pig"
Warrior woman: "THAT'S MY BROTHER!"
Obelix: "Oh? Well, I suppose you would taste good, then."
(Warrior woman strikes Obelix with great vengeance and furious anger, then leaves.)
Obelix (rammed a foot deep into the earth but otherwise unfazed): "I guess she's upset."

On a more serious note: THE RETURN OF EPIC!

Hahaha, all that made my day ^^
There is a reason for the pig though ^^ When I entered the contest I only did that for fun, and I knew everyone would make epic warrior since the theme was 'Warrior God in motion' And I just felt like I wanted to make something fun with it so I added a pig in the sketch but I was gonna remove him, however, everyone who saw him loved him so I kept him. And I fell in love with him myself. Recently I've read alot about mythology, and there are alot of stories in there about Gods with animal siblings etc so I ren with that. However.. why a pig? No idea. However, FEAR HIM! XD

I wondered if the idea of using a flying pig came from the expression: "When pigs fly!" which means "Never!" (similar to "When Hell freezes over!")
It would be interesting to see Chaos Pig attack Obelix... hmmm... *eyes pencil* ...maybe later, I'm at work now.
I was trying to come up with a name for him, but all I could think of was "Hamexinapan", which sounds more like a place than a name.

Hamexinapan was a funny name. Can't say it without thinking about monkeys however. Apan = 'the monkey' in swedish XD I don't like monkeys!

Ah. And definitely not twelve of them (I started to watch the movie 12 Monkeys once, but I gave up after about 20 minutes...)
I guess he won't be named Hamexinapan (or Hamexiapan, which sounds more Mexican) then.
I thought of the name "Tlanxaxl", possibly for the warrior woman.

At the same time something like Hamexiapan would be nice cause then his nick name would be Hami
Tlanxaxl was nice. But how do you pronounce it? XD

SamBlob In reply to SofieWikstromArt [2009-04-20 12:02:40 +0000 UTC]
The name actually came from "Ham and eggs in a pan" without the "and"...
It's pronounced "transaxle" but with an "l" instead of an "r".
