We have teamed with one of the industries most creative and artistic minds to bring Fury to the web, Eli 5 Stone. Besides being a gentleman and all around nice guy, he's amazingly talented. He has drawn for artists like Tommy Lee (Motley Crue), Eminem (the Rapper), and for a while was the sole writer, penciler, and inker/artist for the comic book known as "The Tick".
Before beginning to sketch, Eli met with us many times, discussing the concepts of the game, and unique components that could be addressed visually. He helped us create our logo, advertising artwork (for use on mudconnect), a large battle image representing most races (see image on the left), and a few stand alone pieces for the website. He asked great questions and had a real eye for detail. Eli understood our desire to make the website represent our rich and detailed textual world with bright, vibrant, compelling images that were customized to intricate components of what makes us unique.
On opening day, July 1, 2020 of BETA testing, we will begin our first wave of advertising to draw in new players, and on January 1, 2021 we will make our final push as we move the game into live operation. Eli's artwork will be used front and center to help new players associate with our world - we believe that advertising is crucial to the future success of Fury...
Eli's approach to his artwork involved signficant pre-planning and leveraging his 25+ years of experience. Be sure to view our image gallery where Fury proudly shares these custom images with you; our players (desktop wallpaper for everyone!) - although obviously not for use on other websites or unauthorized use. Additionally, below are two links, one to his website for more information on him, and the second that provides a link to a PDF document that describes his work for Fury in signficantly more detail.
