Inspiration: (Become) The Witcher: Rise of the White Wolf

December 4, 2008 | Filed under: Other: Inspirations by valp @ 12:06 am

Magicians at Platige Image have made this brilliant trailer for upcoming The Witcher: Rise of the White Wolf video game. It’s special extended version for PS3 and X360 consoles made by Cd Projekt RED. From Poland, of course ;).

The best PC RPG in years… remade into the ultimate console RPG. Find out why The Witcher has sold more than a million copies and won more than 100 awards. The Witcher: Rise of the White Wolf is built from the ground up using the PC game’s acclaimed story to deliver console gamers a truly unique and extraordinary role-playing game.

Become the legendary monster slayer Geralt of Rivia, the White Wolf, in an unrivalled RPG experience where the choices you make shape the world around you like never before. Set in the world created by visionary fantasy author Andrzej Sapkowski, The Witcher: Rise of the White Wolf sets a new standard for mature role-playing games with a gripping non-linear story and a visceral real-time combat system that showcases Geralt’s sword-fighting mastery.

Inspiration: Martini Blu Party

November 27, 2008 | Filed under: Other: Inspirations by valp @ 9:00 am

I love stylish designs and fashion influence into graphic design overall. That’s why Martini Blu Party is so fabulous for me. Everything there is perfect - light, retouch, colors and brilliant idea which connects all this in simply way. I am not saying it takes a while to make it done, just I love minimal and glamour all together.

Also I see some space for extra effects… ;-). However designs like that gives me inspiration and forces me to think a while. As you may see most of my artworks are detailed, very comprehensive in small pieces added with care and attention. I think this varies my work but Martini gives me another reason to consider some other directions, opens new doors of creative thinking. That’s why I love being inspired!

While it’s filed under inspiration, you should go and check out advertising agency Armando Testa, Turin, Italy as well as photographer Emilio Tini. Other credits: Executive Creative Director: Michele Mariani; Art Directors: Luca Cortesini, Laura Sironi; Copywriters: Daniele Bona, Dario Digeronimo.

Inspiration: Max Payne - The Beginning (Graphic Novel)

November 25, 2008 | Filed under: Other: Inspirations by valp @ 9:05 am

I want to recommend you this small site (as well as movie), which connects film with game in such a brilliant way. First check out Max Payne - The Beginning (Graphic Novel) and then go to Max Payne website - the game was released in 2001 and sequel, The Fall of Max Payne, in 2003. Gallery division has some graphic novels from Max Payne 2 — for me it’s inspiring and a great lesson to learn from.

November 10, 2008 | Filed under: Other: Inspirations by valp @ 9:14 am

Online showcase of Benedict Campbell - the photographer, digital artist, film maker and designer - is such great inspiration, I just could not stay for a (long) while, bookmark and save some pics. I bet you will do the same, but please don’t miss any of these divisions because each has various brilliant images!
