Hey all!
Some Crysis fanart I made in 2018.
For those who aren't familiar with it, Crysis is a game from 2007 with 2015 graphics, which meant that no-one could run it when it came out. :D Eleven years later I got a computer that could do with it so I played the crap out of it.
It's kind of a meme because of this but in the end there's a good game there... if you're into shooting things. Anyway, the setting for the game is beautiful and I felt like giving it even more photorealistic graphics. ;)
Some couple of square ones to show the detail...
As usual I'm attaching a process animation.
The whole thing was mostly photomanipulated in a matte painting fashion, with sort of mixed results. xD
Maybe the 2nd frame, the sketch in green, seems perfect for sort of a Vietnam vibe, now I wonder what'd have happened if I had continued with that idea. The proportions there seem all different too, more like it's a swamp or the like, and not sure how well it went to turn it in a space as big as the sea.
Aaanyway..... :D

This is amazing !! it reminds me of a game i used to play ( sniper ghost warrior )
:D Thank you!
I didn't know the game but looked at it a bit now, seems interesting. I never played one of these games centered around sniper rifles, but I'm running out of FPS to play so maybe I'll check one out soon. xD
yeaaah i think u should give it a shot :D might like it, I like the environments works and details, I still love FPS games but yeah we dont have much of those anymore
Very cool, the process is really interesting seeing how dramatically it changed throughout. Shows the thinking process.
Thank you! Yeah, when I look at these years later I always discover things, I feel like I should go back and do that Vietnam scene now, might come better off than this one. xD

STOPI played the hell out of that game back in the day. Mostly because I was on the QA team at EA. I spent 10 hours a day, 5 (sometimes 6) days a week for an entire year playing it and testing everything before release. You can see my name in the credits if you wait long enough.
I may be biased for that reason, but it is definitely my favorite of the series. In fact, I still have it on my main computer and play it from time to time.
Something that almost no one knows about it is that in the beginning beta builds when our team first started testing it you could play it at fairly high settings on a halfway decent video card. However, they were heavily promoting Nvidia and what the cry engine could do at the time. They basically wanted you to buy an Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTX. After a few builds the game became nearly unplayable on any low spec system if it wasn't on the lowest possible settings. The goal was to really make it shine on the 8800gtx.
I should do a post sometime about the whole experience. A lot of crazy stuff happened at that job.
Haha that would be an interesting read.
Crazy what they did with it, it's a very weird figure because it's on one side venerated for its graphics but on the other side laughing stock cause there's no point on releasing a game no-one can play. xD
Personally, when I could finally play it, I enjoyed it very much. I must have gone through it at least 6 or 7 times, with and without mods. Really loved it and the expansion because of the non open world freedom... you can play it in an infinite different ways.
I thought Crysis 2 sucked, all on rails, just wanted it to be over... and I hear 3 is a bit better so I'm bound to try it some time.
So I kind of agree it's the best, even not having played 3. :D
Really beautiful! If you did not say it was from a game I would have thought it was from some kind of fantasy movie.
Heehee it could have been fantasy too, thank you!
Yes it could :D
Damn!!! You make this from scratch? That a whole lotta work there. Great bro
:D Thank you!
Well I use photos for most of it and lots of environment brushes to compensate my lack of painting skills haha.
Okay, you've a good sense then
Amazing
Woh!
I'm so Spellbound!!!! 😍
