HiddenAssassin Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 Sometimes you see stills in a game and you just are like woah now I wish I had artistic talent, what are some of these games and where do they feature? Okay I know it's not an RPG but the black and white pictures in the campaign descriptions were always really cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mEtaLL1x Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 Baldur's Gate 2 was very inspiring to me.... I really loved the backgrounds.... soooo beautiful. Especially Druid Grove.. Oh, very many games inspired me, really..... StarCraft, WarCraft, Diablo, Fallout, and many others... Hmm,... perhaps, we should all post some of our favorite concept arts here.... I'll look for some good ones in my archives.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mEtaLL1x Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 Illidan from WarCraftIII: TFT.... A screenshot from game intro. Brilliant work Probably, for me Blizzard movies are the most inspiring thing of all. They are just AWESOME! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorth Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 The visual style of the Fallouts, Planescape Torment and especially the Icewind Dales are among my all time favourites. Both the ingame visuals and the concept art that preceeded them. Some of the concept art for VMBL was made by the same guys, pretty good stuff too “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

HiddenAssassin Posted February 28, 2005 Author Share Posted February 28, 2005 What about stills from certain games? I quite like the portraits from IE games, they seem well done as a whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musopticon? Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 Undying had some awesome portraits(with accompanying horrorific effects) and grand looking textures. I also second the Icewind Dale comment. Simply amazing. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today. A man who craves furry hentai.

Iyanden Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 prince of persia: warrior within had some great concept art. in fact, my background's the pic of the prince with swords crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One2Many Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 Icewind Dale art was awesome and avatars from all the Bio games were pretty classy. The games whose art really blew me away though are the Disciples series. The gameplay is good strategy gaming, very difficult at times, and that alone would sell the game, but on top of that, all the avatars, all the units, all the towns and buildings are drawn with a style and clarity that really go above and beyond the needs of the game. In fact when I think of those games I remember the art in front of the gameplay, which is why I posted on this thread. (It's canadian i think, so another kudo to all the canucks out there.)

When we don't make something that is exceptional it isn't noticed at all. I think that has some kind of advantage It's just like how the USA will *choose* to acknowledge when we kick their butt in hockey.... *runs away* LOL (I had to sneak that one in... sorry) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsel Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 I really like the work that "Ingmar" did in the Divine Divinity game. Man that guy had an eye for detail. Tsel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsel <{POST_SNAPBACK}> yeah, Divine Divinity had a nice gritty feel-the sorceror dude art (complete to pointy cap and beard) was hilarious. i even liked the voice acting. and the little pictures of haunches of meat and hefty bottles of Dwarven Ale were nice and substantial, like you were hauling real sustenance in an inventory screen reminsicent of a high school kid's room...

Lady Alenuska Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 I really, enjoyed the art work from Disciplies 2. It was unique and quite oddly beautiful.... The art for icewin dale and Baldurs gate was quite lovely. I have to say however I was really impressed with the world of war craft's intro for it's artistic quality. Some of the darker art work for VmB I liked too. Lady Alenuska Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkreku Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 I always loved the pictures on the Gold Box-edition games. I especially remember the picture on the "Death Knights of Krynn" box. It was awesome. I'll try to find it! Edit: Found it! I also loved this one: Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
