Q:

when i was browsing some artwork of Kekai Kotaki, i discoverred this pic of timberline falls. It looks much better than the current one used in the the loading screen. Why did Anet made the choice not to use the more detailed one?

Maybe it didn’t fit the style of the other loading screens? Or some technical stuff? :s

The only real difference I see is the outline of the tower / fortress. I don’t recall any structure like that existing in Timberline Falls so maybe that’s why it was altered? shrug

There are lost of small details for example: The gold outline added to the character and Red hair. The slightly more detailed fortress in the background, the far castle in the back, the broken ship pole andThe frist pic Has higher color density. I’m drawimg alot myself and i was just wondering why idd they make this decision

Sorry for the typos, i’m writing this on my tablet

Yeah, the art is really the only thing that makes sense. So, questions around this are relevant.
