Description
This is the box cover for the a new board game that I worked on and that came out recently. It's about Easter Island's and is a resource management game. It's also an allegory for the destruction of a microcosm by overpopulation (kind of what we're doing to our big blue planet, but that happened on an island scale.)I did all the art (cards, box, etc..) except for the board, who was done by my friend Lars Grant-West.
Personally, I enjoy the game very much and I would recommend it to anyone who like strategy/resource management-type games. I've already been paid for my art and am not making any benefits from the sales, so the comment isn't biased that way
Here's the original catalog and more explanations:

Very nice pic, really, I like it a lot !
By the way, for info, the story of "destruction of a microcosm by overpopulation " is a false story, a modern myth. I've just shot a documentary in Easter Island with archeologist working there since 2000. They were just killed by slavery traders

The game has an excellent concept, as far as my opinion goes. It must have been a fun project to bring to reality. There's a great movie on this subject, I trust you must have had seen it.
Excellent and professional work!

Nice! Did you know that there was a journal of a ship's captain that said that the Easter Islanders had red hair?

I really like your work! I'm not sure if I'm from one of those tribes cuz my father is from chile and my great grandmother is one of those native people over there. Everytime I see the big stone head I feel so proud! n_n

Really nice job. I'm gonna have to check out the game sometime though the price is really daunting.

Oh man, you should have given them coral eyes like the originals, that would have been wicked. That said, very nice work indeed, the Moai are awesome.

Very fun piece. I think it would have been funny if you made their faces exactly like that of the statue heads. I know old joke but still a goodie. I really like the perspective on this piece very nice and dramatic and very good detail I think the figures could be worked a little more just something is not feeling right especially in the hands.

hehe, yeah, but it is a realistic game and I don't think the boss would've gone for that. I did read a comic book that did that, very cool idea.

be funny if you did a version with the heads a long like that statue first and handed it in just before the real one right after. Be a funny joke at least on your side. I have done that before just to give them a mild heart attack, I love it when they get all flustered like that. Once I kept sneaking in on the fake versions I handed in first of the energizer bunny. But I am just zanny like that.
