This morning I finished the last of the fundamental art resources for Iconocracy with the 197th NPC icon. What remains is to assemble the infocards (23 are finished and 179 are primed out of 209 total), find our winning player corps/alliances in the flash fiction contest, and bring it all together.
To give you a sense of the scale I'm hoping to achieve, the complete Iconocracy image of all NPC factions, bloodlines, and corporations (along with our three lucky player corps and a couple surprise entries) is going to be at least 13107x7527 pixels in size. At 200 pixels per inch, that generates a ~65x37 inch printed image. I'm seeing the first slices of it come together as I work and (speaking as an EVE fanatic) it looks rather good.
While looking back, however, I realized that these last two NPC icons were also part of the first set I posted about six weeks ago before I sat down to improve my admittedly amateur design skills and this became a big project. I thought I'd share the final versions of these last two NPC icons with everybody, side by side with the very first versions (that I actually thought were pretty badass at the time
).
Thanks for all the encouragement and remember keep your eyes open for the next contest challenge thread!
