UK Box Cover

[Zorin]

The worst thing is the overall composition of the shot. Who came up with that? Certainly no one who went to art school...

Besides, what exactly is burning with black oily smoke in the wing of a Bf109E?... Honestly, why didn't Ubisoft just make a post here and ask for someone of the talented artists of our community to make them a boxart!?

I don't care about the box,I want whats IN the box!

Cliffs of Dover sounds suspiciously like a second rate drama/romantic film that somehow incorporates Dover.

All the Il2 titles have had art on the front of them rather that in game shots, but I agree with someone who said it had a winter feel about it.

Well seeing as the OP commented on the artwork and not the title or lettering i didn't comment on that again . I made my opinion clear on that in a previous thread.

I just don't understand why game covers are almost always cheap computer generated art. Ubisoft could have easily comisioned a real artist like Ronald Wong http://www.ronaldtkwong.com/gallery/...iationart.html to paint something that would really have looked awesome. This is what books do afterall, and you don't see the front cover of a book and expect it to be full of paintings do you.

why do we get these whinny threads...is it just because ppl hate ubi or you think its gaming chic to look like you do?...these threads are getting boring.

@ tree UK: its not a winter scene...rather a restricted palette with regard colour..think painted photographs which were very common on the 40's

I thougtt the art work captured the moment of the BoB quite well.. Admittedly that artwork with "Storm of War" (in gently styled germanic font) as the title would have worked better, but yeah, its not too bad.

I am aware, but at first glance it does look like a winter scene.

Exactly what I thought, leggit mate I didnt post a whiney thread, people are making whiney replys to a positive post. I thought that people might like to see the UK box art as personally i hadn't seen it before, But as leggit and others have said the moaning is putting me off posting in these forums, tbh it always has. There's nothing wrong with critisim, but critisim were its due or even worthwhile would be better than "why dont UBI pay a top aviation artist a ton of cash to paint a box cover" the answer is in the question. Obviously.
