I'm really disappointed with what Into the Pixel has become. Originally it seemed like it would be for showing off game art. You know since it was at e3 and revolving around videogames. However they've turned it into another gallery show, who can draw the prettiest 2d image. In my opinion it should have stuck to in game screenshots of actual game assets. I would actually care about it if they had. As it is, it's just another 2d image competition.
poop - you nailed my sentiments exactly. This is gorgeous stuff--but its not game art, it's game preproduction art. game marketing art. game concept art. Game art itself still remains to be recognized/celebrated as a medium it seems.

Thanks for sharing Adam.
The Defeated Dragon(second image) one is also quite beautiful.
but, regardless, they're pretty pictures.
