We’re pretty accustomed to using the phrase “a good man,” but perhaps we seldom enough say, “a good woman.” But Oddleif is just that, mixed with initiative and the qualities of a strong leader.
Was she more adventurous? Did she see herself as getting out of traditional village life? Or perhaps someday taking charge of Skogr? And how did she end up with that scar on her cheek? As such, pretty much everyone wonders what she must have been like when she was younger. When we meet Oddleif in Banner Saga, we come to know her as the wizened wife of the chieftain, a master archer and excellent adviser. Put the music on and listen to it for a while. And you may very well catch a glimpse of some of the magic Madeline is conveying. In fact, looking at the art suddenly makes me think of “Standing Stones,” perhaps my favorite track from the Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim soundtrack, by Jeremy Soule. Or perhaps the aurora borealis- the northern lights- which can be seen in Sweden should anyone have the inclination to visit. What isn’t clear is whether the background is meant to be suggestive of night or the encroaching darkness. Madeline B’s piece involves the godstone of Bjorulf. The contest maybe over, but I’ll be watching this artist’s portfolio long after.īe sure to visit yame’s Deviant Art account too. It makes the piece feel reminiscence of ancient Chinese works, much like Ma Yuan’s On a Mountain Path in Spring, but with modern pop. I particularly appreciate the shadow on the parchment background.
Although the artist took a conservative approach to color, the careful lighting and values make for a level of detail that draws the eye regardless. One must appreciate the exhausting effort that went into the shading of hundreds of cloth ripples. Hakon by 17Yame48ġ7Yame48’s approach really tapped into a personal sweet tooth of mine. Oh, and for part two of the runners up, go here. Just as with the winners, clicking on the image will take you to a larger version. So if you’re concerned about the story being spoiled, best look away. I will warn you that there is a possibility of spoilers from the prior two games in these pieces of art however. We’ll be presenting these in no particular order, but with a few thoughts on each piece. In celebration of fan art Friday, we’ll be presenting not but two postings giving the runners up their moment in the sun. So fans and friends alike have been clamoring to see the fruits of the recently concluded art contest.
