Game Informer Update: Art Video

Post » Tue May 17, 2011 2:55 am

January 26th


Update on the Skyrim hub today. Includes concept art of many types of armors and the first glimpse at an Argonian.

http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2011/01/26/the-art-of-skyrim.aspx

The main things I got from the video is that the animals really belong in their habitat/environment. And that the races are very very distinct from each other. There will be no confusion whatsoever apparently.

seems nice. honestly, without talking to them, in Oblivion I never could tell the difference between a breton and an imperial (at least the voice actors were different)

Were the females different? I can never tell the difference between the female Bretons and Imperials.

And the orc armor to the right of the Skyrim map. This game has me popping.

Scars are confirmed. Now my anticipation is complete (just kidding, I can still build upon it)

Was really happy to what looked like a Argonian in the concept art... I don't remember where.. I think it was about 2:15 or so into the video give or take 20 seconds. Was barely seen on the left. Can't think of any other race that might have a tail like that. Was a little disappointed to see they are going with the Oblivion style beast races legs, and not Morrowind if that concept art is true.

Honestly, its most likely his index finger. If you look closely, you can see what looks like a pinky finger, but the reason its so hard to see is that its colored darkly, as opposed to the brighter hand.

But flipping the bird works just as well.

They do! If they don't bring pauldrons back atleast the armor sets look nice and hopefully there will be more variety/scarcity

I saw the vid a second time and noticed in the pic with the dragon attacking on the let you can make out an Argonian character on a seperate piece of art on the board.

I saw the leggs and they seem a bit wide at the top of the thighs.

hmmmmm....but its only concept art. So infer what you will beast race fanatics.

Edit: ninja'ed, and you have links too!


Someone please expand and link all the major/minor pics from the vid in a post? Its a ______ loading the movie and I can't rewind or skip parts without it restarting.

Daydark, those links are broken for me. Or should I tell Dragonbone?

I liked where he said that the work they were drawing in it was of a statue of a God in the game where it was clearly a Goddess, not a God. But the question is, was it the Nord version of Mara or Kynareth?

I personally feel that this is the best update so far, maybe second to sounds of Skyrim. Well about even. Still I really enjoyed looking at these images and hope we see them in play soon.
