Oddity Share Some Of Their Futuristic Pit Fighting Gladiators!
June 20, 2014 by brennon
Oddity have begun to share some artwork for their future pit fighting gladiator game and the first concept work is for Melania and Terraxus, a male and female pair for the arena.
The setting and feel they are going for is based around the idea of 'rusty sci-fi' in the same vein as Dune or the earlier Star Wars movies. They want to sink pit fighters into mechanised pits of death and have them duke it out to the death. The artwork is being done by Felipe Escobar and there are sculpts in the works by Leonardo Escovar Quintero.
The game sounds like a grand idea and the artwork is pretty awesome. I would love to see the miniatures for this one.
Will you be keeping an eye out for more on this?
I wonder what scale it will be?
I get that they want “rusty” sci-fi, but the illustrations above look like fantasy designs to me. Not seeing the sci-fi at all here.
@Echilda; As far as I’m aware, sculpts will be “god scale” (pretty much the region between 28 and 35mm)
@Vermonter; The comment has come up several times. Future art (including aliens and such) shows the sci fi element much more. And without the presences of fire arms, or “sci fi” armour, things do tend to look quite fantasy 😛
I will (am) be writing the rules on this; so if you guys have any suggestions or things you’d like to see, I’d love to hear it.
i think there’s power cables running from the back of the male to the axes some sort of vibro blade or power weapon
