Posted: Thu Mar 27, 2014 3:07 pmLOL that's just Lan Di's old hairstyle. Remember the Saturn footage? His hair looks similar to this CG picture there.
They originally designed him with very free flowing hair, but they couldn't pull it off because of hardward limitations.

Posted: Thu Mar 27, 2014 4:42 pmThat image looks pretty cool, but I like him better with it pulled back in a ponytail. It makes him seem much more in control and reserved to me for some reason. The loose hair seems too much of a villain cliche.

Posted: Thu Mar 27, 2014 9:53 pmThe rural/farm images are very similar to artwork used in one of the Shenmue calendars.
I'll shoot a few snaps and up them tomorrow.

If you compare the orange sky and very little ground underneath the bottom silhouette character in the 8th concept image above (similar dress to Lan Di, possible ponytail) to the newly found Lan Di art below, you'll notice the similarities.

Could this be the location for the final bout with Lan Di?

Re: Newly found Shenmue art from the Sega Saturn era
Posted: Fri Mar 28, 2014 4:03 pmThis is fascinating stuff.
As soon as I saw images 1 and 3, they immediately reminded me of the 1999 Shenmue calendar. I've taken some snaps of most of the months. The ones missing are familiar pictures of Shenhua so I didn't bother taking them.
As far as I can recall offhand, I haven't seen this artwork in any other Shenmue merchandise. But this stuff is absolutely beautiful to look at.
There's a light directly above so apologies for the shine.
