It's shaping out greatly, but the only think I strongly dislike are the flags and the svastika. It's an extremely controversial subject and offensive to many persons, I don't recommend to showing this in any part of your art, or at least, not in so prominent way. This can easily go off your hands if noticed by the enough amount of people and they decide to add sensationalism to it. Just my view, don't take it bad ; )

Off: First exam was good! Tomorrow next one!

I wouldn't worry about the  nazi stuff. I mean, it's almost 20 years since Wolfenstein 3D came out. I think the world is ready.

I'd completely forgotten about this stuff. Looking forward to seeing it finished.

God, I love all of your artist mockups, I was blown away by Medici but now the amount of detail in this and the way you captured his style in a completely different medium...just wow.
One thing I might say though, the smoke on the gun in the "Facist Pig!" frame looks too solid to be smoke despite the style and comes off a little strange. Other than that, love the atmosphere on the mission failed screen, love how the chicken is an item and that even the hearts are cubist.

Can't wait to see the finished product.

When I switched over from a SHMUP to a FPS, Wolfenstein3D was an inspiration and ref. To honor that I added '3D' to the title and then overlaid it on the swastika design to minimize it...may redo all of that later :/

The smoke on the gun was actually ref'd from Picasso paintings as that how he painted smoke even tho I too felt it looked solid so I softened it a bit. Also added some canvasy texture thruout. Works in places and fails in other places.

I like the Musician screen best too. Thx, Skamocore  :)

I don't follow that? You mean it should be lighter or darker?

Better Title Screen?
+ New poison screen.

The poison screen is fantastic. The title screen... I liked the old color on the font. Just less of the swastika showing through. 

i think especially the titlescreen and also maby the map are too far away in style.
i really enjoy everything else though.

Jal, how do you feel about having sex with men? Because I totally want to make some babies with you now.

I swear to god Lucas I was about to write the same thing to Jalonso. 
Jalonso, you're crazy, k

Lucas he's mine.

This project is so great, so creative, original and nice to look at :)

Im stunned by this for some reason it looks really good

and I love the stuff you got on this page too but what was this above here? concept art? :)

Originally this mockup started out as an outer space classic type SHMUP. That never worked out as the inspiration is the Guernica painting that takes place during Spain's Civil War and the whole Franco Fascist takeover.
That screen was a later version that was going to be a top-down 1930's time period inspired by games like Tyrian. That piece shows a section of the Guernica painting as buildings and that whole idea failed because no matter what I tried the buildings still looked like people and animals so I scrapped that whole thing and moved to the current FPS/stack version.
I thought that was the best looking and had it worked out this would have been finished a long time ago.

Hey, what happened to Jaltendo?

@lucas, Jaltendo was threatened to be sued 
@Jeremy, will edit!

Title screen alone would make me want to buy this game.

I really thought I was going to be easy on myself and ignore color conservation this time...

...I ...just...can't!

Up to now the palette has been 86 colors. I have now brought that down to 58. Naturally I have to retouch and tweak a bunch of areas to make all colors work throughout.
This palette is terrible and quite crazy when seen on its own and adjusting (maybe its just a Picasso related thing?).
Below is the palette in case anyone wants it for their palette collection. Feel free to use and abuse (just know it may only work for this piece and will need lots of adjustments. Especially in the neutrals). Also included is a slightly more refined and cohesive 33 color version. Also, free to use.
