I thought this would be a cool idea, I'm not sure if this should go in suggestions but I thought it should be its own thread since its all about art..well I got this mountain picture from Wikipedia and edited it up a bit using corefx, its a mountain being smashed by a meteor and another meteor in the backround. I think this should be a part during the main storyline, would be cool. Post your own artistic ideas about the next TES game, let the posting..begin!!!

Shoot, sorry lol

He meant IMG tags, images are perfectly fine as long as they don't violate the rules. But, either way, the "link" you posted was a file path, not a URL.

This is a good idea for a lot of reasons. Think of it, me and my little bro were just saying how the style and tone of a concept art can show more about a game than a screenshot.

You can find some fantastic Elder Scrolls fanart on DeviantArt. One of my favorites is http://theminttu.deviantart.com/gallery/#Oblivion.

Woah, those are pretty good (and hilarious )

That is amazing - very tribal and chaotic feeling, whilst still intricate and similar to previous TES boxes.

Ha! Like the pants steeling one, and Dr. Sheogorath.

I'll be the opposition then because I think it's bad.

I made this a long time ago, it's basically just mt.everest with some more green and blue added, and a fake bloom effect.

My jaw dropped when I saw that box, man I'm jonesing for some ES:V news.

I like the DLC for that

God please let it bee summerset Isle

Lol looks pretty cool, but if you check the fake DLCs description they made it seem too epic, found it kinda funny.

amazing...

True, true. "Complete the quest and become the most powerful ruler ever." Repeat. Repeat.

Even though I'm hoping for Skyrim, the Summerset picture does look much better here.

I guess I'm the only one who doesn't like it... The map in the background is a cop out. The lettering is whacky. I'm going to get a cut just by looking at it. None of the images are unique or fit a theme other than 'we've got guys in bear costumes'. I just do not like it.

It tells me nothing about the world. The box art should be the game's best apologist.


Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't the sumursets, I don't know... something like http://www.imperial-library.info/maps/cyrodiillargelowrescr7.jpg? Looks like the reach or Colovia, to me. (geographically)

Agreed with the poster above on the box art.

both boxes are cool for fan work, but nothing like what bethesda should (and will) be doing. the skyim box doenst fit together thematically (blood moon screenshots + oblivion coloring/borders + 'tribal' font). the summurset screenshot looks cool enough technologically, but the setting is too pleasant and the background towers dont look altmer and dont fit with eachother or their setting. i do like the idea behind the skyrim screenshot (mixing various cultural references)

for box art i definitely prefer the more subdued, authentic feeling of the redguard through oblivion boxes. it makes them stand out in stores when viewed beside the endless barrage of space marines, football stars, and half nekkid chicks.

^ the box arts gotta stand out or it will fade to the back of the shelf and we all know what happens to games how go to the back of the shelf,

for those who don't they get *wisper* bargin binned :violin:

I said it was a "decent" job, not a brilliant job. Meaning, considering it's fan art, it's a pretty good try.
