Age of Conan 4th Anniversary Retrospective

ConanArt · May 2012

Age of Conan is four years old today!

To celebrate four years in Hyboria we're posting a retrospective gallery of some of our best and most interesting concepts/art.

Starting with art from the original game Hyborian Adventrures, we'll be adding more over the next few days covering Rise of the Godslayer and bringing us up to date with our most recent work/upcoming work.

Its a shame that the best thing about AoC is the concept art.

Wiktor · May 2012

Wow.. Some really awesome concepts here! Thanks for sharing!

glottis8 · May 2012

That is awesome! i really like that i can see this from reading the books! i have not played the game, but i really relate to the grit and epicness that Conan is famous for. I like!

iniside · May 2012

praetus · May 2012

NAIMA · May 2012

Incredibly bad ass stuff! I especially love those five crazy tribal dudes.

Aga22 · May 2012

thanks this is inspiring!

sipher3325 · May 2012

This concept work makes my viking nipples hard.

Blaisoid · May 2012

saved, saved, saved and saved.

awesome shit, especially the pseudo african guys. i always thought it's a shame that those sophisticated outfits that some tribes use hardly ever get used as a reference for clothes in games.

Donavonyoung · May 2012

This is some really awesome stuff. Super share!!!

ConanArt · May 2012

Thanks all, I'm going to be updating with Rise of the Godslayer art next.

Naima- yes it's fine to model things from concepts for your personal work, as long as you're not publishing the original artwork or using it for anything commercial.

ConanArt · May 2012

Ok here we go with art from Rise of the Godslayer, the first expansion to Age of Conan. Released in May 2010 it opened up the whole new continent of Khitai for players to explore.

First up: characters and creatures...

Environments:

and finally some weapons and items:

praetus · May 2012

AAAhhhh, those evil spirit kids look really creepy. Also, the chosain entry statue kind of looks like a Cthulhu/elephant wearing a top hat, which I am fairly certain, makes it cooler. Great artwork guys.

Skummel · May 2012

Ahh man I always loved looking at Conan art (and playing it) its great to see them all here in one place

Praise be to thee great ConanArt!

Froyok · May 2012

ZombieBox · May 2012

Butthair · May 2012

Inspiration folder so hard.

ConanArt · May 2012

Thanks again everyone for the feedback. There is so much awesome art created in the games industry and most of it never gets seen. We have been lucky enough to have some very talented artists working on Age of Conan over the years so I'm happy to be able to share some of their great work with you all.

Time for the final post - this selection brings us up to date with what we've been doing since the Rise of the Godslayer expansion and includes art from House of Crom, Tier 4 raids in Khitai and the Savage Coast of Turan adventure pack.

Hope you enjoy them and here's to another four years!
