Artist's Comments

I've been keeping this under wraps, but the teaser website went up this morning so I can finally start showing off artwork from Legends of Zork!

Here's the first illo released to the public for the game. Special thanks to Christine Choi for her painting suggestions/palette help on this piece.

Zork was one of the very first PC video games and was originally all text-based prompts. You can read about the game's history here:

Even though there were no graphics, the game had a great sense of humor and made you feel like you were part of a bigger world. It's been years since they last had an official Zork game and being able to be a tiny part of this game's history is a real thrill for me.

I'll be posting more artwork from the game here on my DA site soon.

Great image! He definitely has that classic adventure game hero look.

Love this! Just last night I was thinking about this game. Very nice job and a great gallery too.
:iconkingofcreativity:
Quite awesome. I hope the strewn skeletons mean the Grue will make a comeback.

I remember Zork!!!!

What a blast from the past. It was like a "Choose Your Own Adventure" book but on the computer. It was allot of fun

Great piece Zubby. The skulls remind me of Manny from CoMI3, which definitely isn't a bad thing!

Thanks! I really did want to evoke the Curse of Monkey Island feel in this game, so if it brought that across I'm ecstatic.
:iconzubby:
It will indeed.
