sephiroth.4217 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Seriously though.... Was this man put in on purpose, accident? If it was purpose, who is it? Who is based off? Is that Karl? Ben? Too manly to be Gaile ( I think) :trollface: Does anyone know? ![](https://i.imgur.com/KzkdYrF.jpg "") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayakaru.6583 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Is it a man, though? And not a shadow of anything on the water? Or just a statue at the harbour? The plot thickens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veprovina.4876 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 It's on purpose, they just don't want you to know the real purpose. ![](https://i.imgur.com/RCFH2Mj.jpg "") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Healix.5819 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Look a little to the right, on the stairs, under the arrow. They merge photos together, filter and paint over them. Here's the lion on Google street view for example. In one of their concept art pictures with a flaming sword, you can see the watermark of the original picture, but the image is so large that you'd never notice.

Abelisk.4527 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Speaking of loading screens, they changed the loading screen for Crystal Oasis to remove the revealing element on a certain statue. ![](https://i.imgur.com/cNWkbet.png "") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickenooble.5014 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 The artwork is some brushwork over a real life photo from Budapest apparently... ![](https://i.imgur.com/s2sfOk1.jpg "") There are also other urban images all along the bottom. And to the right of the "man" there appears to be a woman walking away, possibly wearing a yellow backpack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGrimm.5624 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 lol, I always wondered the same, I took it as one of the artist drawing themselves into the scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donari.5237 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 When that loading screen first appeared there was a lot of discussion. Upshot was the artist had seriously photoshopped modern stuff, perhaps to make the place feel cosmopolitan. Maybe akin to the other discussion in the forums today about using "hell" as a cuss word being a connotative translation of whatever the New Krytan phrase was?

And to the right of the "man" there appears to be a woman walking away, possibly wearing a yellow backpack. They used the same technique on the Frostgorge Sound loading screen. One of the ships is more or less a direct copy/paste from a google image of the [sailing vessel Concordia](https://imgur.com/Pe7imz3 "sailing vessel Concordia"), which boarded an international school from Canada (the red dots on the square sails are red maple leaves) and sank in Feb. 2010 off the coast of Brazil in a microburst.
