Clulpo?
Gulwz?
IDK

[Hime Blue]

I, for one, like this Clawz replacement! I'm actually impressed. ...But then I think, how the flip am I going to beat it? o_o;;; I love me some concept art too, and I'm very excited to see NiGHTS with the mask on. I must draw that now.

[Gun6]

Broken URL. ;-;

Why must you be so mean, IGN?

EDIT: Now it works. IGN, don't do that! >

[Kori]

My vote's still with KiKi. :3 Or Katy the Kitty Witch!

*needs to grow up something awful* XD

[GoldDreams]

I am really enjoying the concept art. It looks great, and shows the designers really had a personal attachment to the characters. Since the designs are so well thought out. The new boss also looks great. I suppose this is the new Clawz? Since it does have a familiar theme to it with the way the cats look.

[TRiPPY]

Lol i love how every time a new boss pops up they get an amusing Pet name.

How about Clitch *snort*

[MidgitLD]

It is agreed.

Clitch = win

[^_^ Go Dreamer]

I know I'm a bit late, but I just got finished looking at the new pic's! I really love the comcept art! It was so cool seeing NiGHTS with different facial expressions and emotion!! And Finally I get to see NiGHTS with his mask, OMG I nearly fainted!!!!! He looks so CUTE with it!!..... The Reala drawing was Awesomes, though his upper body was a bit large! lol

I loves the Witch Kitty Maren boss (Clitch)!!! She looks so cute, and scary at the same time!! But I guess this is the new Clawz? *looks at the bottom half* O.O; Hmmmm... her bottom half looks like that of a spinning top......... Meh....... kitty Witch maren is still Cool!!

EDIT Oh I almost forgot!!
Purgatory That pic you drew of Clitch is Special Awesome!!!! ^_^

And Meggiemaccat I love your Avatar!!! ^.^

[Tangocat777]

Clitch works for me.

[ayamemaiden]

Concept art! Yesssssssssssssssss.

[Artemis]

O_O....MY GOD!! What a way to start a weekend! I LOVE IT AAAALLLLL!!! Clitch is now my favorite (minorish) boss so far! *wants hat NAO*. Wizeman looks kickass, and personally I like Helen's second and third color concepts. lol, Reala has too thick of clothing/armor/whatever...he's gonna be slowed down!!! XP Ahem....I really like the NiGHTS expression, it really shows off his dream-like 'Maren-ness. You know, like how he used to scare kids. And actually at first glance looking at the second expressions sheet the last one in the top row I thought he was flipping someone off! O_o EEEEEEEeeeeee! That mask is squee-worthy!! NiGHTS pulls it off MUCH better I say. And actually, I think he pulls off angry quite well, but I'd like to see a sad expression believe it or not.

[iLLViLLAiN]

I hope Clitch doesn't act like a... yeah. Can't wait to own the bosses in this game.

[boon]

Just figured I'd let you guys know that this boss is called "Bomamba".

Whoah, thanks for that. I didn't know that site existed... hmm. *bookmarks*

*looks* Wow, there are some pretty amazing scenery paintings of a couple levels O_O I'd post them here but I don't know if that's completely OK... I guess they wouldn't put them there or have free, unpassworded access if they didn't intend them to be released, but I haven't seen them on other sites and I don't think I count as a "media outlet."

ummm... I really want you guys to see them though... what do you think? >_<"

Ah screw it. These are too pretty to not share... and I'm going to assume that by putting them on their public FTP where anyone could grab them, Sega released them. (don't sue me Sega ;____

These also came labeled; I'm assuming that they're the official names of the levels.
Stare~ Stare at the prettyful images~


Clock Tower Daytime


Lost Park


Aqua Garden


Crystal Castle


Windmill



These are sooooooooo pretty and detailed... I have SO much respect for whoever made these O_O The original PSDs are HUGE and so detailed... compared to me tooling around in photoshop, this person is a god *bows down*

Right here:

They're like 120MB each @_@ but so pretty. I'm going to use them as wallpapers (maybe we'll see them under the wallpaper section at the official site?)

I'm going to poke around there a bit more and see if there's anything else interesting...

[TRiPPY]

EEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee *happy squeak* I lovelovelove game arttttt.

Its awesome to see level art! I really do like this artist.

[animejosse]

It's so beautiful, and (aside from Bell Tower of course) has this dreamy feeling about it X3 Love for the artist/s drawing these.

[DARiA]

I'll try to keep it short'n'simple

Boss name 'Bomamba' WTF?
Clitch sounds better
Though the actual design of WitchCat is nice. I see it as the best boss so far (Reala and Wiseman don't count, they're beyond rating)

Level designs - squeeeee, I LOVE the level designs. That's what I wanted about the original game - LEVEL DESIGNS
*designs maniac*


Thankyouthankyouthankyou, you made my day ^___________^

[Icachan]

...Crystal Castle is now my favorite place ever wallpaper. GOD THESE ARE DETAILED~
Aqua Garden got a very Atlantica feel imo, and I can't stop squeeing over the dinosaurs and chess pieces in Lost Park. Eeh~

[Machenstein]

Crystal Castle

It's Imaginationland!

[CrazyInABottle]

.....Wow, I am speechless! Except for what I just said, that is.

For some reason, the Lost Park image looks pretty sad. It looks good, just very lonely. Maybe that's what they were going for. Thanks for sharing!

[*~ChAoSkY~*]

Thanks for sharing the level art......They are so beutiful.
I adore Aqua Garden. @W@

However, can you tell us apti where did you exactly found these images?
Are the simillar artwork pieces lying all over around the wonderful Internet? ._.

EDIT:
Is there anything specific in here: ftp://segapr.segaamerica.com/SEGA_E32007/NiGHTS/ ? O_o´´

[Machenstein]

From what I can tell from that URL, no.

[^_^ Go Dreamer]

I just woke up and Wows!! These pictures are Super BEAUTIFUL!!!! My eyes were all like OO! The artist who drew these put lots of feeling into them!!!! *is saving Squee worthy art to her pc* SOOOO PREEEETTY!!! OwO

Indeed, nothing that hasn't already been seen for a while now is in there, sorry.

[viperxmns]

Ah, stuff was already posted here..

Wow.

*totally called the name 'Crystal Castle'*

[ayamemaiden]

O_O
Crystal Castle is my new desktop.

It's Imaginationland!

XD

[iLLViLLAiN]

I'm just glad the names for those places aren't Island, Funland, and Waterworld lol

All of the artwork is so beautiful especially Crystal Castle.

[Gun6]

How large is Crystal Castle's image in ???x??? pixels? >_>

*ish downloading it*

[Innotech]

I AM SO f*!*ing EXCITED FOR THIS GAME.

[TRiPPY]

Lol innotech is back with enthusiasm i see XD;

[Niraven]

EEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee *happy squeak* I lovelovelove game arttttt.

Its awesome to see level art! I really do like this artist.

Once the credits release, someone check if the level artist/artist was the same guy as the one who did the level art for Kirby Airride: there's a ton of similarities, especially if you look at the concept stuff. (I adore his originality!)

[Innotech]

Lol innotech is back with enthusiasm i see XD;

YOU KNOW IT

[NeoKairi]

Though I like seeing the concept art, and I find Momamba to look quite awesome-sauce, I... I still hate Reala's new design. It just looks ridiculous.

And has anyone else noticed Wizeman's ARCHIE-MOUTH? :3

[Jof]

All the sketches for the level arts are signed by an artist named Bamboo Nishino.

[scout]

awsome, It looks like clawz either just had kittens or belongs to that witch lady. I actually prefer the boss homages because they are still unique in thier own way. Why would Wizeman want to go different, if you want to look at it in game terms.
So who's gonna be The gillwing homage...
