    Wow.  Well deserved though.  All the information. Videos. and shots that we've seen so far leads me to believe that they deserve it

    Bravo to Kekai and Richard. I have to wonder if Daniel Dociu didn't submit any artwork to Spectrum this year though? He won the gold medal in the concept art section for the last 4 years.

    This is really cool. I wonder if other game artists won this kind of rewards, say SWTOR and Tera's?

    I like Kotaki's work, but Anderson's is lame in my opinion.

    I love both. Andersons is more abstract

    I think it would be more of a surprise if ANets artist didn't win an award. They have the best concept artists in the business in my opinion.

    Not surprising. ANet has some of the most incredible artists.

    Well done! Grats to ArenaNet. Amazing artwork.

  • ircaddictsircaddicts Member UncommonPosts: 218

    Grats to Anet. I'm not supprised though Anet has the BEST artists in the industry. Even now all most 6 years after it came out. The ONLY game that has better character and weapons art than GW is a game (GW2) by the same people

    I really love their concept art, but I wonder if it will look as amazing in-game.

    It will be allmost impossible to get the detail and feeling of the concept art intoo the game..

     

    But with those artists its obvious that nothing will come close to GW2 artistic ingame feeling... If anytime can really make a fantasy world come alive its this team..

    I don't know about how the world will come out, but we have screenshots and videos of actual pieces of concept art in the game.
