Re: [Isugamedev-midworld] new art

[Kevin M. <ke...@vr...>]

looks really nice!  is this hand drawn, modeled, or (probably
not..) touched up from art found elsewhere?

just curious.  i like the stylized look, and wondering how you got the
effect.

I really like the b/w idea.  different levels (or areas) that are tinted
gold, or tinted blue would also be pretty cool while keeping the
monochrome feel.
