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!

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?

Wow that looks awesome. That looks like a market place, posible something like the ge?

this is amazing, a release soon? :D ? I was thinking it might be joint with the new skill to prevent mass overload on the "mechscape" servers..!

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.

Very nice.

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

finally a new one:D

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

That look's really cool, so we are getting another image Saturday or a music track??

Prehaps you're right.

Woah, looks like that place in starwars. =D This looks cool!

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.

Al Kharid thousands of years from now..lol jk.

That was my first reaction. Star Wars! Star Wars! Star Wars! Star Wars! Star Wars! Star Wars!

Wow, that's some awesome piece of art =O
I like how it looks ^_^

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

Wow, that art looks great. Thanks

This makes me happy, it gives me a whole different picture of what mechscape would look like!. I was thinking like star wars flying cars zooming accross the city, but this!... this reminds me of the road warrior and thunderdom, Which are in fact one of my favoritte movies of all time!, this makes me the most excited i've been for any mmo.

'Very cool piece of concept art. It makes me wonder about what MechScape will offer...

i think it's a guard that is on the balcony. dont't you think it looks like one?

he got some pretty armoured clothes.

Whoa. That's all I can say really since I wasn't actually expecting another piece of concept art. Thanks Jagex :D

My god, this looks amazing! Good work Sellis!
Edit: Can't wait for Saturday

What I'm wondering about are the two small ships flying away on the top left, Fighters maybe? Scouts? I think this could be some kind of Pirates camp, with the man on the left on the lookout for enemy ships or prey and the large cargo ships heading out to go pick up a recent kill or dropping some off.

What is in that building to the left of this art piece?, I’m thinking some kind of engine to power the city lol idk

And that guy to the bottom right what is that green light?, some communication device? or some kind of injection device to stop from disease to infecting you?. Sorry I had to say the disease thing I’ve seen too many movies where horrible disease’s ravage desert lands.

Ya I was thinking a communication device.

On Saturday we are getting a music track.

This looks awesome.

Sounds like an in-game screenshot, I doubt it though.
The screenshot is awesome, maybe it will look a little like the Kharidian Desert in RS?

I just jizzed in my pants. This is the type of game I had pictured in my mind this whole time and this is the type of game I've been telling everyone I've been thinking about. The whole "grease monkey" type of environment is what I wanted. Thank you so much Jagex!

oh man, this is exciting. Great concept art

Also, I was trying to make an Avatar with the picture and I zoomed in on the guy with the blue device thing and I found that his legs looked a bit weird..

I'm thinking that its just the way the artist drew it...but what do you think ?

I've made a few pictures out of the Concept Art and I'd like for you guys to tell me what you think about each picture.



-This is some sort of Transport Ship apparently in my eyes. What do you guys think it is? Give me some feedback



-This character here is apparently looking at something green, bright and vibrate. At first impression it could be a TV, but the bright green color kind of throws you off a little. What do you guys think it is?



-Finally, this person with a Camel or Yak of some kind. What do you guys think this could be? A traveling Salesman? Or perhaps a player with the ability to have a Yak, like in RS, which carries items for you. Thoughts?

steam punk?

the concept seems like its a replica of Al-kharid in runescape with some modification for Mechscape with some futuristic touch to it

its just my opinion

I really like this

Can't wait till saturday!

the yak could be any thing really, traveling hoboish sales man, something to eat in the dessert lol?, are just a plain cow farmer.

I immediatly think of Star Wars when I see this. A big thanks to Jagex for being awesome to a loyal fanbase!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Btw, what is that giant green things standing nect to the other green sort of person? It looks kinda fague but it remined me of runescape's moss giant.

Ahhh just gazing upon this concept art makes me want to play the game right now, can't wait for the music sample.


ONCE AGAIN, THANK YOU SO MUCH JAGEX YOU ARE AWESOME!!!!

did i hear there's a sound track coming saturday?

To me it looks like someone is sat next to him looking at whatever is in his hand, just the other person has no detail to its body. Not weird legs.

that image reminded me of this. Maybe there will be an invention skill in mechscape?

Not only do the mods hate meh because of my hip young lingo, but it's also obvious that it's a music track. Srs dude?


Not only does it say "concept work" it also says "Guaranteed to be something we've never released the likes of before" and, this one is important, "sounds awesome."

So it isn't a screen shot because a screen shot does not count as "concept work"

It isn't concept art because it's "guaranteed to be something we've never released the likes of before." The likes of before also suggests it isn't a screen shot because a screen shot is just another picture. A screen shot also doesn't "sound" it "looks"

What sounds awesome? Music! Music is the only thing that sounds awesome because music is the only thing that makes a sound!

Thus given the above postulates, it can be logically deducted with ease that it is in fact, the music track. Also given the fact that Olifiers posted that he was trying to get us a new piece of concept art and a music track, it is only logical that since they followed through with the concept art and there is "another concept work guaranteed to be something we've never released the likes of before" to be released, it is doubtless the music track. Why would they say they would release a new concept pic, and a music track, then release the concept pic and a screen shot?

There was never any talk of a screen shot either.

The image reminds me a bit of Firefly... I think I am really gonna love this game.

It's the Mechscape equivalent of Al Kharid... o_O

Jagex posted a link to here from their twitter.

We'll get more members this way lol

Very cool art, and there's another "concept work" coming saturday? GREAT; so soon and we'll have something else.

Sauce, or troll?

.....Source or you are lying.

I remember somebody mentioning MSW might get a music track not too long ago. I think Poultry made mention, although I'm not too sure.
