Ultima Online: Kingdom Reborn Art Guide

In yet another treasure from the Mythic Archives, here is a style guide produced for artists working on assets for use in the Kingdom Reborn expansion for Ultima Online.

Enjoy! There are some interesting examples of art direction to be found in these scans, including discussions of “real” versus “cartoony” art styles, the use of contrast, anatomy of proportions, and the character art creation process. The first few slides also look at the (tight!) schedule and steep requirements that the art team for Kingdom Reborn were facing.
