Fable 2 - Dirty Prostitutes And Clean Frenchmen

Behold the gorgeous ladies of the night of Fable 2! Which one would you pick, were you so inclined? I just can't decide. This little snippet of concept art accompanied an interesting post on the Fable 2 development blog that deals with an internal back-and-forth email about the lack of soap in the office. The reasons for the soap shortage were soon made chillingly clear.

Five days ago, in an unexpected terrorist attack, the entire shipment of liquid-soap for Europe was hijacked - hundreds of lorries diverted towards Paris and their contents spilled over French capital. The scenes were horrifying - millions of Frenchmen who hadn't washed in decades screaming as they were forcibly cleansed.
The U.S. is currently in talks with the French government to send relief dirty-up crews to the panic-stricken country. Hey now, it wasn't me, it was Lionhead!

Bioshock 2 Wishful Concept Art

That Videogame Blog points out that concept artist Ben Mauro recently put up a nice collection of concept images for a "proposed sequel to BioShock."

Mauro told the site that these are just personal images he created for an art class he was taking. The assignment, he says, was to design a sequel for a video game or movie.

Too bad, because it's some pretty amazing stuff. I liked it so much I sent a link to Ken Levine to see what he thought. Haven't heard back yet.

It almost looks as if Mauro was thinking prequel when he did this art. Perhaps this shows the making of Rapture? Check out the link for images of his tram system.

Some LEGO Universe Concept Art

After my chat with LEGO's Mark Hanson the other day about the upcoming LEGO Universe MMO, I was promised some concept art. Well the big day has arrived and I awoke this morning to find two nice little images in my mailbox. The email described them as being related to one of the first zones that players will encounter upon starting the game. Not much more info than that but there you have it. Make the jump to check out another shot! More »

Warhammer Online Concept Art Aplenty

The team handling press for EA Mythic's upcoming Warhammer: Age of Reckoning MMORPG don't believe in information trickling. Every month we get a fresh blast of concept art, screens, and information in one huge chunk. Rather than split them up or simply toss them all together into one large gallery, I went ahead and split them up into easily digestible nuggets. This month we get information and screens on two character classes: The Sorcerer / Sorceress and the Disciple of Kaine, as well as renders of the elven zone of Ellyrion, some renders from the next cinematic trailer, and concept art featuring the taverns and RVR keeps in the game. First up is the Sorcerers, Dark Elven magic users who utilize the powers of their will to harness incredible dark magics, though building up too much power can cause the magic to turn on the player, leaving them vulnerable to attack.

Latest by jynxycat: @ehlaren82: I'd say they'll borrow heavily on DAoC, as is evident from the RvR content. Not to say that's bad, DAoC was an incredible game before the big MMO boom hit. But definitely, they will take back some ideas that WoW stole more »

Fallout 3's Brotherhood Of Steel

Emil Pagliarulo, lead designer at Bethesda on Fallout 3, has written a fairly lengthy profile on the famous Brotherhood of Steel, the technology worshiping knightly order that appeared in the first two games as well as Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel and Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel, both of which have pretty much been erased from cannon by all involved. Washington D.C. is host to a different Brotherhood of Steel, who have put aside their mandate to discover new technology in favor of a new idea - protecting human life. When the player comes into the picture he or she will discover the BoS to be a honorable and courageous faction barely making ends meet. Hit up the link below for the full story on the Brotherhood's new direction, or hit up the gallery below for some nifty BoS concept art.

Speaking of mishandling Marvel licenses, Sega has released this piece of Iron Man concept art (click for a larger version) from their upcoming game based off of Jon Favreau's Iron Man movie. Perfect for all of you out there that didn't know what Iron Man or tanks looked like. Thank goodness for concept artists. Stop the presses!

The Level Art Design of BioShock

It's no secret that I am a BioShock junkie, taking in every drop of media from the game much like the genetically altered freaks of Rapture take in plasmids. One of the things I noticed when I did my hands on with it at E3 was just how amazingly beautiful everything was. I spent a fair amount of time just looking at everything and marveling at all the work that must have gone into that incredible amount of detail. More »

Starcraft 2 Media Blitz

It's been less than twenty four hours since Blizzard announced the second coming of Starcraft and there's already a glutton's feast of media to peruse. I've collected a ton of screenshots and concept art here as well as some video of gameplay (after the jump). But this is really just a tiny taste of what's out there floating around. All the videos you could want are currently running around GameTrailers and GameVideos and to see the rest of the screenshots and artwork, check out the epic Starcraft 2 website That is, if you haven't already. Which, if you are any kind of true fan, you've already been over with a fine toothed comb. Several times. Obsessively. Flynn De Marco More »

Gallery: Earth Eternal's Furries

Is this concept art for an upcoming MMO from Iron Realms Entertainment, or someone's VCL gallery? Judging by the fact that none of them seem to have obvious exaggerated genitalia, I'm going to have to go with concept art here. Earth Eternal is a 3D MMO from a company known for its text-based MUDs. It features a rather intriguing alternate Earth setting, and anthropomorphic animals as player characters. In the FAQ the devs explain that they aren't furries, and the game doesn't embrace furry themes, though they can't be sure because as they said, they aren't furries. Riiiiight. More »

Latest by ComaKid: I have the distinct and total feeling that this 'concept art' is not much more than traces over 3-D character renders. Still, what's with the stumpy legs and torsos? Bleh. I don't see much difference in body types. Let's see more »

Gallery: Warhammer Online Concept Art

EA Mythic has unleashed a slew of new Warhammer Online concept art on an unsuspecting public. The art depicts monsters, some buildings and landscapes, and the creepy concept design drawing for the Chaos Zealot profession, the main healing and buffing profession for the minions of Chaos, who seek to recover the seven chaos emeralds before Sonic in order to enslave the world, or else I'm getting my games mixed up again.

Beautiful Guild Wars: Factions Concept Art

Over at ConceptArt.org, one of their posters has published a huge amount of really amazing Guild Wars: Factions concept art. Some of it is really just Cthulhu cool. Of course, the actual game looks nothing like this, but there's scarce a picture in the bunch that wouldn't make a great wallpaper. Florian Eckhardt More »
