The Making of Thurn und Taxis
Artist Michael Menze, who has illustrated numerous games, has posted a very interesting article on his website Illustration - Michael Menze about the creation of the graphics for the Spiel des Jahres winning game Thurn und Taxis. Here’s the story from Spielbox, translated by Patrick Korner:
| Originally, Michael Menzel wanted to write about the interesting collaboration that developed between those involved in the creation of Thurn und Taxis a long time ago. Those involved, of course, were the Seyfarths, Hans im Gluck, the Thurn und Taxis archive and he himself as artist. Then, the game showed up on the SdJ nomination list as the front-runner and garnered impressive press coverage all by itself. Therefore, he’s only put his “Making of...” page online just now. Among other things, there are sketches of the graphics and various intermediate forms of the game. |
