Game Art? - Jun 22, 2004 15:41
I' ve recently taken a bigger interest in game art. Not screenshots but the concept art and character pictures and whatnot.

Does anyone else share this interest with me?
Does anyone know a good place to get this art/pictures?

RPGDreamers.com has a lot of video game fan art, but mostly maintain to RPGs.

Most of that is wallpaper or fanart
On top of that I am also looking for more such as what I found over at Creative Uncut
Like the individual character pictures

I love concept art. I often hope a game comes with a concept art gallery for me to veiw. I know one of the artists who did concept art for Hitman 2 and 3.

I don' t know where to find game art in general, but I know that the Final Fantasy Compendium has all sorts of art for the FF games.

There always seems to be an abundance of FF related media but for other games you need to really go digging for it which is dissappointing because some games beyond the FF series have really nice artwork

I saw a shirt a little while ago with just a goomba on it
It was awesome but I didn' t end up buying it

I' m keen on Game Box Art. I often import games purely for their lovely covers. there is a JP Magazine which specilises in concept art for video games but I cant rememebr the name. I' ll have a look for a copy and as soon as I find the name i' ll let you know!

I also love game box art
I enjoy having games sometimes only because they have nice covers and not necessarily because they are a great game
Aesthetics plays a bigger part than most people think

RavenShadow can you give me an example of some of these game covers?
