From Fine Art to Computer Game

littleclaude

I just thought I would start a thread on Art History that looks like a computer game, call me an old fart I know!

So could you post any imagery from Art History that inspires you.

Could you also post any images that you think look a bit like they could have been made for a computer game.

For example I think Grimshaw's work could have been made for Gears of War.
Name - John Atkinson Grimshaw,(6 September 1836 – 13 October 1893 Victorian artist
Website - http://www.johnatkinsongrimshaw.org/



Also

edmund blair leighton, (21 September 1852 – died 1 September 1922) - https://www.google.c...UMuau0QXqiIDgBQ


and

john william waterhouse (6 April 1849; died 10 February 1917)- https://www.google.c...iw=1149&bih=620

Just thought I would add a couple more by Atkinson Grimshaw.

beksinski-dark rpg/horror fantasy anyone?

I have long wanted to see a game that looked and felt like a Beksinski/Geiger painting. It would be terrifying.

note: that's geiger minus genitals mind you...

I just discovered Francis Livingston a few weeks back, instantly made me think of games:


And on the darker end always wanted a game inspired by Brom's work:


And then there's the delightful Wayne Barlowe... Who was actually brought in to do some concept work on Dante's Inferno and was very underused I think:

I always saw a little bit of Lucian Freud in brink, doubt it was intentional though

Very nice, who is it by?

I will add the tragic news that the architect Lebbeus Woods died only a week ago. Lebbeus Woods' drawings / models were a major influence on Half Life 2 - the Combine structures are all based on his work

Lebbeus Woods (May 31, 1940 – October 30, 2012)

I should also add that lots of people ripped him off, for example - scene from "12 Monkeys"

I noticed he was not credited at end of the film! Tut tut Terry Gilliam

12 Monkeys on left..................Lebbeus Woods concept on right!

Can anyone else see the similarity or am I reading to much into the image?

Bookmarked, and then bookmarked again. Great stuff, almost exactly what I had in mind for a future project if it ever happens.

The Great Day of His Wrath (1851) by John Martin.

My favorite when I was a child - Hieronymus Bosch. Never mind a huge bird eating people, and musicians sticking flutes up peoples arse's and nuns helping people shit and vomit over people in a pit, it was that rabbit nibbling someone’s toes that freaked me out, center bottom
