February 26, 200520 yr 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.
February 27, 200520 yr 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....
February 27, 200520 yr 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!
February 28, 200520 yr Probably, for me Blizzard movies are the most inspiring thing of all. I have to agree, товарищ
February 28, 200520 yr 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. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice.” - Albert Einstein
February 28, 200520 yr Author What about stills from certain games? I quite like the portraits from IE games, they seem well done as a whole.
February 28, 200520 yr 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. So let us go and embrace the rustling smells of unseen worlds
March 3, 200520 yr prince of persia: warrior within had some great concept art. in fact, my background's the pic of the prince with swords crossed.
March 5, 200520 yr 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)

March 10, 200520 yr I really like the work that "Ingmar" did in the Divine Divinity game. Man that guy had an eye for detail. Tsel
March 11, 200520 yr I really like the work that "Ingmar" did in the Divine Divinity game.Man that guy had an eye for detail. 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...
March 12, 200520 yr 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

April 18, 200520 yr 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!
April 19, 200520 yr That Flying Fortress has got to be the best piece of DL Art ever. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears.
