[Closed] New Concept Art Glimpses!

Go to Narnia.com... click on the newly active "Country Selector"... then click on the flag for South Korea.... then click on "Games" :D

The games don't work yet, but you get some totally sweet concept-art pieces on the menu...

Its been a pretty sparse few days for news, and we have hardly got to see any concept art all for this movie so far, so this has just absolutely made my day! Can't wait to see that one of Coriakin's House in full size awesomeness! :D

EDIT: A couple of observations...

Firstly, in case anyone still wasn't convinced that its Goldwater and Dragon Island that are getting merged together (its seemed fairly inevitable for a while now), there it is in full view for all to see. I still kind of wish they weren't merging any islands at all, but i guess if they had to, thats probably the most logical combinaton.

Secondly, in the piece for the "Search Game", you can see the Moeraki Boulders which they built props for and were part of the display attraction at MovieWorld in Queensland earlier this year.

Finally, the piece for the "Action Game" looks very much like the terrain of White Island in New Zealand where we know they did some second-unit shooting. The smaller associated thumbnail for that piece would seem to suggest that as suspected, it was for the Goldwater/Dragon Island combo (though if you actually click that thumbnail it brings up the dufflepud game for some reason)

Oooh! I love concept art!

Firstly, in case anyone still wasn't convinced that its Goldwater and Dragon Island that are getting merged together (its seemed fairly inevitable for a while now), there it is in full view for all to see. I still kind of wish they weren't merging any islands at all, but i guess if they had to, thats probably the most logical combinaton.

That's the first thing I noticed when I saw these, and I agree that it's probably the best combination. At least it clears up any speculation people were having. Also, does this mean that they're for sure calling the island "Goldwater" instead of "Deathwater"?

Anyway, here's my thoughts on the art.

Magician's Dufflepud Hunt - I'm assuming this concept is for the magician's house. I love it! I hope it ends up looking that pretty. For some reason, it reminds me of Cair Paravel. But I really don't know why! Maybe it's the color scheme.

Action Game - This does look pretty Goldwater/Deathwater/Dragon Island-ish to me, especially the jagged rocks with the yellowy moss (or whatever that stuff is) on the tips. Is that something smoldering in the upper left corner? Or maybe a geyser? If this isn't Goldwater/Deathwater/Dragon Island, I really don't know what else it could be.

Search Game - I like this one too! The coloring of the rocks here makes me think it could be the same island as the Action Game art depicts. But then again, these rocks are more rounded, and the moss seems greener than those others. I'm at a loss - I really don't know!

Game Title - Did anyone else notice this? In all the screenshots, there's a smaller thumbnail called "Game Title". The art there seems to depict the island Edmund sees through his telescope in the trailer. And judging by the interactive map on Narnia.com, I think it's Dark Island.

I hope we get to see more concept art soon - I just love looking at it all. I wonder how close these concepts will be to the finished product.

Lovely find, icarus! Concept art is always a favorite, sometimes being more in line with what I'd like to see then how the movie ends up. :p

Also, I know the space for an explanation of the game is in "filler" language (whatever it's called), but for being found on South Korea's page, I would have expected the text that we can see is non-filler to be in Korean. . . Not complaining that it's in English though; I'm not fluent in Korean. ;)

Mmmhmm. I'm still not liking the whole malevolent mist thing of Dark Island. Really hoping it looks better in the final film. :-s

It's nice to see some concept art. If that house / palace thing is supposed to be the magician's house, it is nothing like I pictured it.

Firstly, in case anyone still wasn't convinced that its Goldwater and Dragon Island that are getting merged together (its seemed fairly inevitable for a while now), there it is in full view for all to see. I still kind of wish they weren't merging any islands at all, but i guess if they had to, thats probably the most logical combinaton.

I noticed that they were put together on the game. It does seem almost positive that they will be combined. (I don't like to say that anything is positive because marketing is not always accurate and things can be misleading). I'd rather they hadn't combined islands but that combination is better than others would be.

Wow, where on the site is this? I am on the Korean site, but can't find the Games Section anywhere... Where do I go?

You can see it on most of the international websites, just Korea was the easiest to get to, try any of the following:

UK: http://www.narnia.com/uk/#/games
Japan: http://www.narnia.com/jp/#/games
Hong Kong: http://www.narnia.com/hk/#/games

"Lorem ipsum..." is sort of automatic Latin. Maybe Koreans use it too for a filler?
My guess though is that the site is run by the same people and they use this for all language versions.

There, shining in the sunrise, larger than they had seen him before, shaking his mane (for it had apparently grown again) stood Aslan himself.

On the "Explore Narnia" map thing, "Goldwater Island" and "Dragon Island" are separate. So I'm not convinced they've been combind yet.

If that rocky place is Deathwater, it looks pretty cool! I love the rocks, and how small the pool is.
The Magician's "House" looks more like a museum or a palace. I always liked the idea of it just looking like a normal house. No biggie. Just not how I imagined it.

I think "Goldwater Dragon Creator" pretty much confirms Deathwater and Dragon Island being combined. I can't think of any other plausible reason for that title besides the islands being combined.

On the "Explore Narnia" map thing, "Goldwater Island" and "Dragon Island" are separate. So I'm not convinced they've been combind yet.

Well that map is very clearly based on the book in terms of the island order, but they have added a few additional clues on top of the map which indicate very strongly as to the precise order of the 5 islands which have made the movie, and Dragon Island isn't one of them (see my full analysis of that evidence here: http://www.narniaweb.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1594

Though if that website game were the first piece of evidence that said Deathwater and Dragon Island were getting merged, i'd perhaps go along with your skepticism, but thats like the 4th of 5th piece of evidence to indicate that Dragon Island is going to be merged into Deathwater, so I'd say its an absolute nailed-on certainty now.

The Magician's "House" looks more like a museum or a palace. I always liked the idea of it just looking like a normal house. No biggie. Just not how I imagined it.

I'd definitely agree with you there. I always imagined his house as being something more akin to a small countryside house. Bigger than a cottage, but much smaller than a mansion, with dark dusty interiors, low ceilings, dark wood furniture, etc etc. Something rather ordinary and normal all the same.

That said, i can't imagine the final movie product will look too different from that concept art. The garden is a spot on match with what we've seen of the garden set, and though we've yet to see anything of the house exterior, it does match up nicely with the interiors seen in the trailer - high ceilings, large pillars, and not least the large domed roofs which can be seen in the trailer when lucy looks up to see the snow falling. Plus just the general style of it matches up with the design of his library and the style of Coriakin's robes.

I'm loving the concept art! They really should just make the movies using the concept art direction. It's fantastic.

That's funny, but I always imagined it being the opposite. I imagined a rather large house, more of a mansion, with a courtyard and a concrete exterior with a large dining hall and stairs leading from the courtyard up into the long hallway that Lucy walks down. This actually fits really well with how I imagined it when I was reading the book.

Yeah, that's sort of the way I imagined it. However, I never imagined it with a dome. That's a bit over the top for me.

I always pictured it as a large mansion, not as big as the Professor's house in MN but much bigger than a cottage. Not sure about the concrete exterior though. I'm pretty sure concrete would be too ordinary and modern for the Lone Islands.
