2005 Video Game Art - By Nic Kelman Games today already command Hollywood budgets and teams of dozens of artists, writers, musicians, and designers…and yet almost nothing has been written about their art and design from a non-technical viewpoint. Video Game Art is a first look from an art history and post-modern cultural perspective at the influences behind, and achievements of today’s genre-defining video games. Examining themes such as character, environment, and the growing place of video games among more traditional art forms, and including commentary from luminaries of the field and often unpublished behind-the-scene art of both past and upcoming games, Video Game Art is a pioneering foray into what promises to be the dominant art form of the coming century. Published: Features over 25 pieces of artwork from Darkwatch www.assoulineusa.com |
