All the great Fantasy Art we've been missing from Computer Games -- Post Them Here!

Hi Everyone!

I'm starting this thread for everyone to share fantasy computer game art, not just for character ideas but landscapes and locations, and magic or power FX.
If you haven't been playing some of the popular computer role-playing games from even 10 years ago, you've missed out on a lot of great art!

As I haven't played every game out there, I hope everyone will share their own screenshots, as well as any writeups or RPG conversions that have been inspired from the great art and animation of computer games.

Dark Wizard of Valdis - The Fantasy Art of Dungeon Siege II: Broken World

As you know, my website presently showcases the fantasy art of computer games. I quite recently embarked on a massive update to my website presently showcases Dungeon Siege II: Broken World section, and though far from complete, it's already got some spectacular scenes.
Even if you've played the game, you may want to have a look as I've used mods to enable close-ups, and only stills can capture some of the graphic details of animation that goes by so quickly. Here is a small selection from the Dark Wizard of Valdis.

Thanks for sharing these - I don't play video games, so it's nice to get an opportunity to see some of the art from them.

Hi Jaerdaph,

Thanks for your comment! You've echoed exactly the reason the website exists -- to bring video game fantasy art to those who don't play video games! (^_^)

As you know, my website presently showcases the fantasy art of computer games. I quite recently embarked on a massive update to my website presently showcases Dungeon Siege II: Broken World section, and though far from complete, it's already got some spectacular scenes.
Today, I'd like to showcase the final boss of Dungeon Siege II, Valdis.

I'm currently playing 'Medieval II - Total War' with the 'Third Age - Total War' mod applied to it so that I can battle in Middle Earth.

So here's a look at the High Elves ...all lined up and ready to go

Um, I hope nobody minds me bringing some Oblivion in here. . . I guess someone had to, sooner or later, anyhow. And it's been ages since I played, so for old times' sake -











And hey, it's still a nice-looking game, IMO. There might be some combat / magic images around that are worth posting too, but the environment itself is probably the prettiest thing in Oblivion.
