My best guess is that it's because Stranger's Wrath didn't sell as well as the other Oddworld games so people simply don't know about her. Which is a shame because I personally adore her

Also, let's face it there isn't a ton of Oddworld Fanart in general compared to other popular games

A lack of fan art is rather worrying, any chance you could draw more realistic Oddworld artwork like this? There's simply not enough art, I tell you now: what about the machines, the other characters (not drawn in abhorrent styles like a certain two artists on here) and highly-sensible head-canon(s)  Detailed work gets spent on other franchises INSTEAD, this annoys me

I'm sorry for my rant, but that's exactly how I feel

I do plan on making more Oddworld fanart, at least until school is over because I really do wanna get back to focusing on my webcomic eventually. I am hoping that when Soulstorm comes out the games will get more love or a bit of a fanbase boost.
I'm also sure my headcanons aren't popular or at least there are people who don't/wouldn't like them. I mean I just posted a pic of a spiritual Glukkon ^^' Plus I have my own original Oddworld species so I'm hardly the best example of a sensible artist.

But yes I completely understand, it's so frustrating when something you enjoy isn't getting a lot of attention. I mean I'm an Oddworld fan and a Chaotic fan, both those franchises don't exactly get a lot of love

And hey, I do sell commissions and I'd be ecstatic to do Oddworld fanart.

Interesting that you made a spiritual-minded Glukkon as in the lore, the glukkons were a spiritual people, or did refer to the 'Modern-Day' glukkons? It’s really difficult to grasp how much time on Oddworld due to how little we know of its history, position in its solar system, poles, axis tilt, rotation around its sun(s)? Or anything else for that matter, look at Lord Of The Rings for an example: an entire book (ENTIRE BOOK) was written explaining the richness of its unique (at that time) world, The Wizard Of Oz, Dune and Star Wars as further examples.

I've actually been rather busy conceptualising my own off-shoot of the series, titled the Lannsirad Project: basically a more-or-less parallel to the entire Quntology, you really should have a look at the artwork that I’ve compiled, you really, really should (tidbit, the name of this project both refers to the political system of Dune, and the company Co-founder, Lorne *Lann*ing.

But to have a project, I had to have a protagonist (I’ll explain everything else shortly-it’s getting too long-winded, unfortunately)

Oh wow, seems like you're starting a real big project over here
I took a look at the favourite folder you have going on, got a lot of great reference material building up though I admit I'm a little confused by the inflation stuff in there

If you're worried about being too long-winded you can always PM me, if you weren't planning on doing that already ^^'

Yeah, I can easily explain: in order to get my protagonist, Fuzzle the Sabreweasel, out there, I had to request certain artwork of her (its basically all I could do to get noticed) I've got a friend onboard who uses Blender to create 3D images and animations (watch any Blender animation on Youtube, absolutely amazing and stunning effort) I’ve also got a Youtube channel (look up 'Lannsirad Project') tell me what you think about those examples.
