Nur Ab Sal Posted August 22, 2005 Posted August 22, 2005 I really like concept art of TSL and crave more. In this thread all who share my feelings may support the cause, and beg Obsidian to reveal more of TSL brilliant concept art. A plenty of works are available on Gamespot or IGN but in Prima Game Guide I have noticed many pictures that you don't see anywhere else. Unfortunately they are in low resolution only. It would be a good idea to make a gallery of Obsidian concept art, that anyone who lurks this website could visit. This gallery could contain virtually all concept art produced during TSL development, so KOTOR fans could track the entire creative process. Besides it would be a good way to promote Obsidian Entertainment... HERMOCRATES: Nur Ab Sal was one such king. He it was, say the wise men of Egypt, who first put men in the colossus, making many freaks of nature at times when the celestial spheres were well aligned. SOCRATES: This I doubt. We are hearing a child's tale.
GhostofAnakin Posted August 22, 2005 Posted August 22, 2005 Not a bad idea. Some of that stuff was pretty good. "Console exclusive is such a harsh word." - Darque"Console exclusive is two words Darque." - Nartwak (in response to Darque's observation)
Kor Qel Droma Posted August 22, 2005 Posted August 22, 2005 I third the motion. It would be nice to have all the concept art in one spot. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
BattleCookiee Posted August 22, 2005 Posted August 22, 2005 Good idea... But what I would really like...; During testing alot of bugs get fixed ofcourse, which is great. But not all bugs are gamestopping or annoying, usually there is a bucketload of hugely humerous bugs. The creators of Anno 1503 posted some of the funniest bugs they found in their games on the page to show, and it is quite nice to see... Both funny to see and thankfull that they fixed them.
Petay Posted August 22, 2005 Posted August 22, 2005 Sounds like a good idea, id sure like to see some of the original designs and see how different they are to the models we are using now
Gorth Posted August 23, 2005 Posted August 23, 2005 *Raises hand* I always loved those concept art galleries on the old Black Isle web site. Jason Manley, Justin Sweet, Vance Kovacs, et al.

Shryke Posted August 23, 2005 Posted August 23, 2005 damn good idea when your mind works against you - fight back with substance abuse!
kirottu Posted August 23, 2005 Posted August 23, 2005 So is concept art like first they draw a woman, then her underwear, then her clothes and that final pic with clothes gets into game? And concept art is that first drawn nekkid woman? Sweet. Best Idea Evar! This post is not to be enjoyed, discussed, or referenced on company time.

metadigital Posted August 23, 2005 Posted August 23, 2005 So the point of this thread is ...? I mean, I don't see any concept art, anywhere ... OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
Nur Ab Sal Posted August 23, 2005 Author Posted August 23, 2005 The point is, to give Obsidian a clear impression that they should organize a gallery of concept art made by their artists. Whether this idea will work or not, it's beyond my influence. HERMOCRATES: Nur Ab Sal was one such king. He it was, say the wise men of Egypt, who first put men in the colossus, making many freaks of nature at times when the celestial spheres were well aligned. SOCRATES: This I doubt.

metadigital Posted August 23, 2005 Posted August 23, 2005 So we need Baley, et alia, to spam this thread to gigantic proportions in order for the OE developers and management to take notice? OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
Nur Ab Sal Posted August 23, 2005 Author Posted August 23, 2005 I'd rather prefer gentle opinions, but who knows what will happen. Personally I doubt my initiative will have any impact, but you always have to try... HERMOCRATES: Nur Ab Sal was one such king.

SteveThaiBinh Posted August 23, 2005 Posted August 23, 2005 It would make sense for Obsidian to put up a concept art gallery at the same time they release some information about PNJ, or nearer to NWN2's release date. Anything to get attention from the gaming websites and get more people here (or at the Bioware forums? ). "An electric puddle is not what I need right now." (Nina Kalenkov)

metadigital Posted August 23, 2005 Posted August 23, 2005 They have released concept art for NwN2, at the last E3. I posted some (I had it from a magazine DVD), and I can upload some more if you like. (About a dozen images, iirc.) OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT

Cantousent Posted August 24, 2005 Posted August 24, 2005 So the point of this thread is ...? I mean, I don't see any concept art, anywhere ... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm wondering this myself. If we want a thread for some of the remarkable Obsidian images, from concept to in-game, then why can't the members create a thread for it? Then, hopefully, some of the artists might post in it. I can't believe that none of Obs artists have a website with work they've done over the years. Some of it has to be fair game to post, even if they can't show stuff from NWN2 or NJ.
