They better add great detail to it.

you know what concept art is right?

try reading again... con...cept.... art...

its just an idea to help create the bigger picture of what you want to make. although that would be awesome to see, i highly doubt its actually in gwen.

take a look at the factions concept art book for example... many luxon jade powered crab shaped drillers were drawn, and we only saw a few of those that were still just background objects. plus they were toned down in size and mystical feeling too. Or how about the huge statue of Abaddon and 2 dragons wrapped around him? or the abaddon/margonite face shaped temple, or the huge tin-can headed reaper statue x100000 the size of a human? (inside the nightfall art book) So you can see that alot of great ideas don't make it into the game just because they were made.

oh man, thinking back now at the different concepts they had for Shiro and probably like an end-form for him were so awesome... I wish those were in the game, hes so simply "blah" in the real game. I think Anet needs to get more into the over-the-top detailed magical places (especially in GW2) they work hard but I think this time around they need to step it up and make it look in a way that you forget your looking at a game and your really in the world. Thats my opinion though.

At least the loading screen will be cool.

bril
–noun, plural brills, (especially collectively) brill.
a European flatfish, Scophthalmus rhombus, closely related to the turbot.

I don't think this is the word you were looking for.

Brill is slang for brilliant...

Ork Pride · Jun 24, 2007, 03:59 AM // 03:59

Its slang for brilliant in british, but it is slang for cool in american

frojack · Jun 24, 2007, 08:03 AM // 08:03

That is nothing short of amazing. I really think Anet pulled a heist and hijacked most of the best talent in the industry _-_.

Domino · Jun 24, 2007, 08:12 AM // 08:12

It's just concept art... it looks like every other loading screen A-net has.

maybe I'm missing something here?

Anphobia · Jun 24, 2007, 02:10 PM // 14:10

That will make a nice desktop wallpaper, thanks!

The fact that, as exemplified "by every other loading screen" ArenaNet always has very high quality concept art.

pretty cool art:P

Looks good. I hope that at the very least they use it as a loading screen.

@ frojack - For an artist, I don't think a better place exists in the gaming industry than ArenaNet and the GW games. Too bad they can't monitor the in-game reactions to their work.

frojack · Jun 24, 2007, 05:34 PM // 17:34

Well not all of us are from the US ^_^. Seriously though, Anet are one of the few companies that seem to truly value art (40+ members of the friggin' art team!!!!!).
