Let’s see some of the art you’d like to see the devs draw inspiration from, whether it be armour and weapon concepts, environmental concepts, architectural concepts, monster concepts, character model concepts, and so on. POST IT ALL!

ooh tough question.
Now I tend to like darker type art rather than classical Fantasy which is what AOC is based on but here goes.......Fighting Fantasy artwork was one of my most favourite and largest influences, its rather warped but i love a world of flaws as opposed to a world thats always just perfect. Fighting Fantasy are old school RPG books by mainly Ian Livingstone a absolute legend in my eyes.

TULNAR BOYYYYS

I was going to post some Monster High pictures for @Nagash but I couldn't bring myself to do it.

Instead...

I would like the art direction in Ashes to have the beauty of Witcher 3.

GemiiChan

I dont much care where they get it from but I need some more pink...pink can be badass too!

Teyloune

I want to be able to make a Tulnar that is inspired by DnD 5e Kobolds.

Yes, i am a fan of heavy and plate armour!

Nagash

it seems we are posting a lot of western armour ideas ^^

Damokles

@nagash
Well what else do we have?

Medieval european armour looks the best in my opinion.


Japanese doesnt really fit the theme right now in my opinion (could change with expansions).



Chinese could be good.


Near eastern armour could be fantastic (especially because we already have a race based with these designs).




Norse armour always looks epic .


Roman armour is always another option .

I very much enjoy the armour styles used in Aion and Lineage 2 and really hope we will see some of these types of designs in AoC:



Another robe


Plate


Another plate


Lineage 2 robe; couldn't find a better quality picture >.<

@Nelirya
I have to agree that AION had a few of the best cosmetic armoursets ever.

@Nagash I'm pretty sure its because we are burnt out on the current rise of eastern apparel/themes in games right now.

they look awesome!

I like the sexiness of Aion, and there are times and places for those type of garments. I like a good variety. Just don't make me look like I'm soliciting.

Nagash

What I would love to see in ashes are masks that just cover the whole face

Damokles

@Nagash you forgot to mention the combined hood for that mask ^^

I like Ian Livingstone's art style but for me my absolute favorite has always been Frank Frazetta. He can get dark and brutal as well. To me there is just so much more emotion in his work than stuff by someone like Boris Vallejo. Boris' work always seems to be like something sculpted by Michelangelo. Boris seems to be more interested in the musculature of his figures which makes sense when you know he has a bodybuilding background. Frazetta's stuff just seems more raw and powerful emotionally. I mean just look at his Death Dealer 1 and 2 and his Banshee. Those along with Dawn Attack (for that old school 60's sci-fi vibe) are some of my favorites.

@Nagash I love all of those.

Amist

Kinda sectioned my wantings into category by race

Ren'kai orcs





Vek orcs





Dünir dwarfs





Empyrian elves







Py'rai elves






Humans?

Teyloune

I just like everything about this, especially the masks.
