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.

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:

Very nice, who is it by?
Lebbeus Woods (May 31, 1940 – October 30, 2012)
I noticed he was not credited at end of the film! Tut tut Terry Gilliam

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.
Yes please!
