Kingdom Rush Frontiers Fun Art mark II, all the details finally revealed!
For the base of this painting I used original appearance of one of the levels from Kingdom Rush Frontiers game,which is substantially modified with many added polygons and references to the movies, cartoons and video games,which you can not find in the original game! Never the less this is still Kingdom Rush Frontiers fun art and it should not be experienced in any other way.
I decided to put together a list of all references from the movies,cartoons and video games which can be found in this painting. The list is quite large, but it may help you to better experience the painting itself! I do not know how much I managed to conjure up the vividness of the characters,but I can only say that I gave my best!
In addition to the references,I added the location (position in the painting), and also a short story which connects these references in some way. If you think you had missed some,here is your chance to check out!
