Hey guys, it's been a while since I've done anything with Video Games Artwork due to me having been on a hard earned vacation the past couple of weeks. But now I'm back and guess what I found in my mail upon arrival, a copy of The Art of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag! Courtesy of Titan Books, the publisher of the book who asked me to write a little review about it. Now I'm a bit of a sucker for [...]
I don't kow why but apparently Naughty Dog felt the need to create another Jak game. Why it got the roman number for 10 (or maybe it's just an actual X), I don't know. This was more of a race game than an actual continuation of the story from the previous games. There's mostly concept art from the racers. Probably the most interesting piece of this collection is the comparison sheet of Jax where a [...]
Jak 3 ended the actual story line of Jak and Daxter with some big story reveals. Like the previous two, Bob Rafei was the lead designer of the game. What I noticed is that with each iteration, Jak seems to get darker and moodier, design wise. It almost gives me the feeling I had with the design evolution of the Prince from the Sands of Time series. In the first game of that series, the prince was [...]
What a shame that this video game will never see the light day, Star Wars 1313. I saw the gameplay trailer a while back and it looked very promising. After seeing the concept art created by Gustavo Mendonca, I feel even more sad. It looked like a really cool game, not typically Star Wars, but in a good way. Keeping my fingers crossed that Disney will decide to continue work on this game in the fut [...]
Hey, remember the post I placed recently with that cool cinematic from Ryse: Son of Rome about the Legend of Damocles? Well, the good fellas from Platige Image, who created the cinematic, released a making of video and a whole bunch of concept art.. I've added the video to this post and some of the concept art. If you want to see the rest of the concept you can visit their Behance page ;-) [...]
So I just happen to come across these images that portrayed an alternative concept of our beloved plumber Mario and princess Peach. No more happy bellied moustache guy with his trustworthy dinosaur Yoshi but a cigar chomping bad ass with a mecha power suit and miss Peach looking less sweety pink. These concepts were created by Marat Ars who worked as an artists on games such as Neverwinter and Sai [...]
Florent Auguy recently released a few net concept art works from the video game Beyond: Two Souls. They show some concepts he did for the main character, Jodie, and some designs for what I think are hazmat suits. [...]
This video for the video game Ryse: Son of Rome, has been circulating the web for a while now, but I went back today to watch it again and I found the shader they used to render everything really cool. Almost like a Frank Miller comic come to live. So I decided to share it with you guys, in case you hadn't seen it yet ;-) [...]
Alrighty, guys and gals, I've just finished uploading more than 400 pieces of concept art from the video game Borderlands 2. Aside from a few pieces, I've been able to track almost every one of the artworks to their creators Kevin Duc, Lorin Wood and Matias Tapia. After seeing all of the awesome artwork my hands are kinda itching to buy Game of the Year edition which is only 50 euros but includes [...]
You know, it just hit me that I'm getting old. I'm almost done with collecting and categorizing concept art from Borderlands 2, which I will upload tomorrow, and I was looking at all the artwork and suddenly realized that I never finished the game. Even more so, I've barely been able to play any of the cool games that came out the past couple of years. The reason that I was feeling old at that poi [...]
