Dragonage 1 & 2

Dragonage is another game with beautiful art, especially in terms of concept art and character design. This game has some beautiful costume design - lovely armour and weaponry.

This image doesn't waste time on unnecessary detail. The main focus of this image is the armour, so the rest of the character is simply a 2D silhouette.








This image of one of the main characters, Morigan, experiments with her look during different parts/times in the game. I like how the poses are the same, allowing the artists to simply change a few aspects to get a whole new design.










I love the texture in this image - makes it not look so clean and sterile.
These are some really cool explorations of the character and her dark-ish and mysterious nature...

















































Here are some typical character experiments for some of the demons - the bad characters in the game.







These are some more character designs.













































































































































Like I mentioned before, this game has beautiful weaponry. Here you can see how much effort is put into perfecting the design.























































Dragonage also has beautiful landscapes and environments which you can explore at your leisure. They are beautiful and full of detail and really make it seem like this medieval world exists somewhere, waiting to be explored.


















There are different areas throughout the game - each with it's own style.

Forests are where the elves live











Towns are where the people and witches live













...and dwarves live underground in rocky caves.

Each environment has been designed to tell you a lot about that specific race, who they are, their culture, their beliefs, their history, their way of life.

These drawings really show all that beautifully.
