I used to work with the Adam so it really sucks, but nice to see how many people cared about him.

Did he pass from natural causes or like an accident? None the less, amazing artist.... Respect and Condulences to his family and friends.

I didn't have time to know Adam very well. My interactions with him were always pleasant. I found him to be one of those rare genuine people. Always positive, witty, intelligent, and funny. He had a rare form of cancer that typically only affects children.

There's no doubt that Fallout and Skyrim would not have been the same without his amazing talent. Such a tremendous loss.

Take a look at his blog as well: http://www.adamart08.blogspot.com/

Did a little doodle to rock in remembrance on your desktop.

I got Fallout 3 CE just so that I can have the Art of Fallout 3, most of which are concept art by Adam Adamowicz. Such a great artist! Sad to see him go......

Sorry to hear, condolences to family and friends

I believe he had cancer but I am not sure.

This is a sad loss for our industry as well as his family. Adams concepts were amazing and like many others I was in awe by his stuff from Fallout 3.

I wish his family the best of luck as losing a loved one is never easy.

I ordered the Fallout 3 art book due to a majority of his art.

I read online that he passed due to cancer. What kind, I do not know.

RIP

RIP, now when I open my Skyrim art book I'll be reminded of his awesomeness

My sincere condolences to his family and friends. The industry lost a very talented artist!

Terrible to hear of his passing, but at least amongst us, having Fallout 3 and Skyrim as your swan-song magnum opus... that's a hell of a way to sign off. He's left us with magnificent and soul-changing experiences and worlds to explore.

I hope to be able to accomplish a tenth of that before I'm old and gray.

We should remember to celebrate what he created before we become too consumed grieving his loss.

Very sad to hear. such a great artist.

Joseph Silverman

Horrible. Really sad when a relatively young, incredibly dedicated artist passes away. Much respect.

keizza

R.I.P. the best to his family. a truly sad loss.

Andreas

Fuck cancer. Another amazing talent gone. R.I.P.

slipsius

Man, amazing talent. RIP indeed

He left his mark in the world, the majority of us don't get that chance, so Rest in Piece Adam!

Torch

What an insanely good artist, and a real shame he's gone. Really inspiring and it just goes to show what you can accomplish on your own. R.I.P.

Geezus

We've currently changed http://www.elderscrolls.com/ to pay tribute to Adam. Stop on by and read some of the kind words.

also... squeeze the nun.

leslievdb

such a shame

Torch

I know I already wrote a comment but I'd just like to add I think his work will continue to be a major source of inspiration for a lot of the artists here and should hopefully give people the drive to really up their game. Badass artist!
