Thanks to Henrique, Adam Tuckwell and the artist "Sellis" who created this piece, we have another splendid artwork to show you! The scene depicts elements of an otherworldly desert city; a mixture of modern, ancient and futuristic concepts.

Coming Saturday we'll be releasing another concept work. This is guaranteed to be something we've never released the likes of before, and it sounds awesome!

What a joke! They made me look sad
That bad bad lake's okay; it washed my hair
And the waves said: Light up the night. Stardust!

It's okay to feel down. Please just remember. That nothing's made to last

Very cool concept art, thanks Jagex! Has a Tatooine frontier town feeling about it. It also shows off some more space ships and makes it clear that there are humanoids on this planet. What's the person far right looking at, and what type of creature is the beast which the person in the center is walking next to?

this is amazing, a release soon? :thumbsup:

? I was thinking it might be joint with the new skill to prevent mass overload on the "mechscape" servers..!

The Beatles were just a band. Led Zeppelin just a band. The Beach Boys just a band. The Sex Pistols just a band. The Clash just a band. Crass just a band. Minor Threat just a band. The cure were just a band. The Smiths just a band. Nirvana just a band. The Pixies just a band. Oasis just a band. Radiohead just a band. Bloc Party just a band. The Arctic Monkeys just a band. The next best thing just a band.

Quite a big gap between the last concept art we saw and this, but it was worth it. This shows how diverse the different areas of the game will be.

This seems like a desert trading village to me. Not a city, but not exactly a shanty town either. :thumbsup:

Very nice.

Hey guys,
...please don't expect something soon.

Now I'm going to go and steal some candy from a baby. :(

Maybe not soon means release is imminent. Since soon means never.

EPIC EPIC EPIC.

The cargo ship and its design makes me think there has to be some sort of space empire/army group.

The setting makes me think there would be a rebellion.

Factions?

It looked to me as if it was searching for something - with those spotlights

I saw it the other way around - the spotlights look like thrusters to me so I assumed the other side was the front.

Prehaps you're right.

Perhaps the ship taking off is a freighter ship, carrying tons of commodities to sell and bringing home ones to buy, run by a merchant cartel? Given the size, it could also possibly be a passenger ship -- Or both. What really intrigues me is the guy in the foreground to the left, with the desert gear on. I just like the gear -- I hope this style is preserved in the final game because it's awesome looking.

Also, if you'll look in the first red cloth-covered stall, you can see what appears to be a green man who is partially shaded. Perhaps some sort of Pliigi (They're sort of green?) Perhaps something else? This concept art is packed with so many tiny little subtle things, I love it.

Plus, it's just cool artwork. Good job, Mr. Sellis! Thank you very much, Mr. Olifiers and Mr. Tuckwell.

The green-ish guy is being lighted by the object in his hands.

I think it's a robot's head - firstly I thought it was a TV but the screen's the wrong proportion and Ren thought it was a computer but it doesn't seem the right size to me.

It looks creepishly similar to the homepage logo.

wow..O.O from behind that ship kind of resembles the millenium falcon a little bit.
