Recently, Managing Editor Jon Wood visited the offices of The Chronicles of Spellborn in The Netherlands. Today, we present an article about the concept art and general artistic style of the upcoming MMORPG.

"Beauty is more than skin deep."

It's a clich

    I wonder if the actual ingame model looks like that. The huge head looks a bit weird ;)

    Great report from your studio visit, a lot of interesting news on TCoS.



    " I wonder if the actual ingame model looks like that. The huge head looks a bit weird ;) "



    Yeah, but that's a caricature, so I don't think there will be a lot of huge-headed folks in-game .

    Spellborn has long caught my eye, certainly. It ranks third in visual appeal for me behind Vanguard and Climax's would-be Warhammer Online.

    Hehe. That's not concept art, but a caricature of Romano.

    I'm a big fan of TCoS, and like that they are getting some attention here at MMORPG, but is it possible to get a little more meat and potatoes out of these write-ups?

    I was hoping for some insider info, considering the writer took a trip out to The Hague. I mean, we got a picture of how the team works together...cool, sound is going good...ok, art department is on track....nifty, but how is the actual game? Is the combat fluid and fast paced? Is it a contender with AoC? Any solid info on the mines area, or PvP system? Any in game maps? Any word on a US publisher? Any shots of some high-end armor? Sigils?

    The current articles just seem a little fluffy to me.

    Relax, we're getting the the meatier parts. The first two articles were meant to serve as an introduction. In the future, we'll be toughing on combat, PvP, abilities and more!.



    No Worries.

    Spellborn definitely has it's own unique graphic style. I tooks pretty cool. The character models might seem a little odd, but that's because they are different.  They just take a little getting used to. I think most people will be happy with the graphics.

    Just love the art style. More european than really any mmo before. Great color palette and shapes. And looking at the shots, the lightning is great too.
