Diablo III

The art direction this game is taking has me speechless. Look at how seamlessly everything blends together in the environment! Amazing.

EVE Online Concept Art

Given the harsh, industrial backstory for EVE Online, its no wonder some of the concept art turned out the way it did – this piece an obvious example. I love how it is seething with grit, and how formless a lot of the objects are. You can obviously tell there are people in the street, but you can’t see their expressions or the details in their clothing. You can tell there are buildings along the street and off into the distance, but you don’t see any particular features of the buildings. Everything is very lifeless, on purpose.

    A lot of people haven’t liked the art theme for Diablo III, it’s even been pretty heavy controversy. I would agree though, looks great to me. Easy to see the characters with so much color and light.

    Yeah, I heard some people bitching about it too. Dunno what their deal is. For the game to be dark and evil doesn’t mean it has to lack color – glad you agree! :)
