Classic Art Inspiration for Game Artists
Hey folks, For years now I've been noticing how disconnected we are from classical art as digital artists. There is such a treasure trove of brilliant creative thought and yet we still usually go to the same 3 places as source of inspiration. The OGs have some amazing takes on dramatic lighting, environment composition or… -
Re: Classic Art Inspiration for Game Artists
Very cool tool! Poking around a bit, searching turns up more interesting results than google, which is exciting to me, even just using it as a "spotify" to discover new artists. My one lament is that the back button doesn't function, and I don't see a built in back button on the website, to go to the last viewed screen?… -
Re: Classic Art Inspiration for Game Artists
Thank you for the honest feedback @pior! You're absolutely right about Waterhouse - he's not in our library yet, which is a genuine oversight. Most likely one of many, but we're adding him to the list and will report as soon as his works are up. It's a fair point that the expectation is to look by an artist name. And if… -
Re: Classic Art Inspiration for Game Artists
Well ... the search seems broken at this time, as searching for the name of an artist doesn't necessarily bring up paintings by said artist. I just searched for "Waterhouse" and none of his paintings showed up in the (many) results on display. Yet a regular search engine like DDG (or a stuffy local library, for that matter… -

@kanga sorry I was very confused by your message so it took me a little time to record a brief video: https://youtu.be/mpD3m0HoI60 The goal is simply to help you find references that might inspire solutions when you're stuck - the same way you might flip through art books looking for references, but a million times faster.… -

@pior we got Waterhouse in just for you bud :) https://imaginemore.art/?library=Classic+Art&attribute=user%3AJohn+William+Waterhouse You can see all his pieces following the link and the visual search works further within his collection too. I'm quite confident DDG or your local library can't do that kind of visual… -
Re: Classic Art Inspiration for Game Artists
@Ruz aw I'm sorry man! I had to do those too :) While it's a good exercise, I'm definitely not for dry copying though. More about fresh ideas an inspiration. We spend weeks, months, sometimes years on an art piece yet fresh ideas on how to improve are so rare. We bypass such a huge body of mind -blowing art that no one is… -
Re: Classic Art Inspiration for Game Artists
jeez I a remember at Uni, this teacher forced us all to draw literally pictures of classical artists. we awere all bored rigid and some of the students actually complained. jsut so damn dry. I literally hate classical art in cg, but that's just me but I like classical art in itself :) -
Re: Classic Art Inspiration for Game Artists
your record is well taken! And I'm very happy to oblige because no AI scanning is happening anywhere near this process. Ah ok. How does the process work then? How do you get AI to filter criticism when it cannot read the material? I'm guessing it has to scan an image, perhaps after it has read the image and filtered a… -
Re: Classic Art Inspiration for Game Artists
Interesting post. I'd like to go on record as not permitting you to scan any of my work here on polycount (or anywhere else) for processing by AI. having the ability to find images similar to yours but with better lighting or color has been absolutely exquisite in figuring out what can be done to improve. I've been using…
