Cool designs thread.
I'll just be dumping cool wizardry monsters and stuff.

these are indeed cool designs. here's some fan art from some guy

>>716213402

>>716213402
Nice.
Based on this guy I think?
I appreciate help with bumping.

bumnp

>>716213483
And that's this one.

>>716213617
>>716213483
Fuck forgot pic.

does anyone know who did these? i've heard people say it's Jun Suemi but it doesn't look like him.

>>716213496
>>716213668
yeah, from this guy, looks like he just did another one recently

wizardry thread?

>>716213761
Dunno, been looking myself.

Japanese always manage to make Western stuff so much better, it's crazy.

>>716213797
'luv me old Wizardry look, simple as

>>716213797
Nice, I think it's this one?

>>716213865

Giant enemy crab.

postan more of these since i have them saved

>>716213951

>>716214037
I need every single old Wizardry design ever in high res

>>716214129
I wish, I don't think these exist in high res though.

Nice thread, anon. I'd post some cool concept art, but I'm phoneposting in bed.

>>716214129
this is so raw, love it

I love the Japanese dog-people kobolds.

Not Wizardry but I really like Ikeno's interpretation of classic monsters

>>716214459
Yeah dogma had some cool designs.

Maybe you should actually play a video game for once

>>716214513
>newphew never heard of wizardry before

>>716214558
its that new gacha right?
pretty cool

>>716214289
this is peak aesthetic and I won't hear otherwise
I'm so pissed about Dogma 2 and Deep Down

>>716214698
>dogma 2
don't remind me

Wizardry is so cool. I just wish it was more fun to play.

>>716214804
Your mileage may vary but it really depends on which game, since they're all pretty different.

>>716214804
Honestly for me it is kinda fun to play once I get going but it sucks to get there with the lack of QoL features in the UI, needing to roll for party members, needing to set up an atuo mapper, the needing to refer to outside sources for item descriptions and probably other annoying shit I am forgetting. I wish the Japs that own it would do some good remakes. I know there are some remakes, actually one of the series that needs it. But from what I've heard most suck and from what I've seen some butcher the artstyle.

>>716214804

>>716215053
That looks like shit and everything I don't want Wizardry to be.

>>716214698
idk what this shit says since it's Jap but this site has a lot of high res Wizardry art

idk if games will ever look this good. maybe one day

>>716215124
too bad for you

>>716213761
>>716213823
It is Jun Suemi, there's a physical Japanese book of his artwrok form the series. You can find copies of it on eBay. It doesn't look like his modern work but look at the old cover art paintings he did in the 80s and early 90s and it looks exactly like those.

>>716215451
I see.
Shame no one scanned it I guess.

>>716215341
More like too bad for you that you. Too bad you'll waste your time playing gacha slop with ten year attack animations because a generic anime woman looks at the camera. I kind of doubt you've ever touched a real Wizardry game if that's what you look for in games. And that is not too bad for me, that's too bad for you.

>>716215124

You are missing out then if you don't at least try out the game, especially if you haven't even tried completing Debra's island quest.

>very cool art
>games are about a bunch of ewoks fighting other space aliens

>>716215586
i played some older wizardry, they are autismo games for fart snorting elitists
never liked them, they were simply no fun and looked and played like shit
so no, its bad for you and good for me
now, you can take your projections and shove them into your ass you faggot

>>716215650
Depends on the game.

>>716215586

You don't have to do the gachaslop. You can just collect adventurers bones and use just the characters they give you.

They could always port over some of the older Wizardry games and give it controller and mouse and keyboard support.

>>716215210
One of those posts is a very endearing tribute post to Andrew Greenberg and Sir-Tech talking about the game coming over to Japanese when the author was young. It's cool to read.

>>716215627
No I truly am not missing out. Even one second of turn based combat like that garbage webm he posted makes it clear that even if it weren't gacha it's clearly trash. I'm not a cumbrained weeb. I have never looked at Wizardry and said "I can't play, where are the generic anime girls looking at the camera!" The fact that it's also gacha slop is the shit icing on the already unappealing cake.

>>716215782
>never liked them, they were simply no fun and looked and played like shit
Opinion discarded.

found some cool art, not by Suemi though

https://archive.org/details/Sakyo_Ikegami_Benny_Matsuyama_Wizardry_Gaiden_2_Imaginations_Guide_Book/page/n3/mode/2up

>>716215803
You know what else I don't have to do? Play shit game period. I am not playing a turn based game with attack animations that long, that's garbage design. I do not have a desire to see anime girls in a Wizardry game. That is not the tone or style I want. It's bizzare how many of you are desprate to convince me to play this ass game just because I like something else, that this thread is actually about, that is really really different.

>>716215782
Cool then why are you in this thread faggot? Because you're insecure in your opinion I would guess? Like I said above, bizarre how desperate you guys are to get fans of the actual Wizardry games to accept your anime gacha slop. We don't care. We don't like it. Just accept that.

>>716215850
yeah, that is what I said, a fart snorting elitist
>no you don't like my fav game?
>uh, oh, opinion discarded...
>snorting farts intensives

>>716215903
Nice, I was just looking through it myself.

>>716215974
>ad hominem ad hominem
Yawn.

>>716215974
It's actually you who is doing that. You came into a thread about something that is realistically, not even the same series. Started posting shitting webms of anime girls and are surprised when you get told "No one cares, this looks like shit, we're posting in this thread because we like oldschool Wizardry aesthics." Then you have the nerve to get offended that you were told that. That's not even me you are replying to by the way and for the record I hardly think I am much of an elitist considering I would be the first person to describe Wizardry as "One of my favorite series I would never recommend to anyone." I get why most people don't like it.

Some other stuff in this set I didn't find as separate ones.

>>716215001
Oh hey it's Pazuzu

>>716214361
they cute

>>716215969
>We
you are just one lonely faggot tho
pathetic

>I get why most people don't like it.
Concession accepted

>>716215167
>>716215032
Katsuya Terada really is something else.

>>716216179

>>716216195
I said "we" because someone else had already replied to you before I even got the chance to tell you what a dumbass you are and they continued to reply to you.
>Concession accepted
Concession about what? There was never an argument, nothing can be conceded. Calling you a faggot and telling you to fuck off isn't us disagreeing. You tried to get me to play a shit game and I said "This looks like shit I'm not playing it." How exactly do I concede that? Do you think you got me to play it and I am currently secretly doing so? You're so used to using your troll bot replies you forgot that one doesn't even make sense here.

>>716216196
i remember reading his sun wukong comic book. he seems clinically insane.

>>716216259
I've got more Wizardry art but they're mostly human stuff, so not really cool monster designs
I can post them all or just post more Jap fantasy stuff

>>716215974
There is a pretty intense level or irony in you coming into a thread celebrating old school western fantasy art, posting anime art then calling other people elitists and saying the art other people are posting is shit. Like you really have no self-awareness huh? Anon, if anyone is being a fart sniffing elitist, it's the guy that insists any game with pretty anime girls and cool anime boys with 73 belts has bad art. The fact that you are a weeb-elitist doesn't make you not an elitist.

>>716216330
>Concession about what?
are you fucking retarded and can't follow your own post?
also you started shitflinging and now you cry like some fag?
pathetic
>>716216521
>the art other people are posting is shit
never said that, just that old wizardry games play and look like shit which they do and you would know it if you played them
I never said nothing about art you fart snorter

>>716216681
>ever said that, just that old wizardry games play and look like shit
So you came into a thread, insulted everyone in it, said what they like is shit and told them to play something you like instead. And you think you are not an elitist? Ok buddy whatever you say. You both supremely insecure and supremely lacking in self-awareness. Again, being an elitist about shitty anime games is still being an elitist you pathetic loser.

>>716216491
fuck it

>>716216681
If your game is so good can you go start a thread with a webm of it and see how many replies you get? Thanks. You fully agree these games basically aren't even in the same series, so why are you in this thread?

>>716216961

>>716217032
found some good stuff here: https://www.retromags.com/

>>716217231

>>716216952
nigger, can't you follow the reply chain?
I didn't start shitflinging, you can't demand polite behavior when you behave like ass so fuck off cunt
>>716217001
lel, I am not desperate for attention tho, most of the thread is just you dumping and me bumping, there is maybe 5 anons here(at best)
also stop creating and fighting strawman you created in your head, that is not healthy and make you look like a moron

>>716217289

>>716216961
love this one. i've been trying to find a high res version of the character card illustration for months but haven't had any luck

>>716217359

>>716217430

>>716217494
this is for Dungeon Master but still by Jun Suemi

>>716217708

>>716216136
Took a dinner break, I have a couple more sets to dump.
Nice job keeping the thread alive even if there was that one whining cunt.

>>716216491
Yeah by all means, if it's cool it's cool.

>>716217797
I've nearly ran out of Wizardry stuff to post now anyway
this piece is funny, because it's digital it looks a fair bit worse than all the traditional paintings from him

>>716217935
Eh it just looks unfinished, still looks cool.

>>716217935

>>716217995

I'm surprised Wizardry never got a TCG, especially in Nippon

>>716218141
Probably didn't have interest in it until yugioh made one and then became the dominant monopoly on it.

>>716218095
that's all I got. I'll post an SMT image and some other bits probably

>>716218235
Sure, it doesn't have to be wizardry, that's just what I'm dumping.
>SMT
Kaneko was definitely inspired by wizardry in some of his designs if I had to guess.

>>716218235

>>716213079
I think I saw this one in The Witcher 3

>>716218302

>>716218378
A lot of these were used in a bunch of games.
Fromsoftware had a whole lot of these in their older games like shadow tower, and even some in newer ones like the iron golem in dark souls 1 and fire giant in elden ring.

>>716214053
>raver lord
>look inside
>it's just Crucible Knight

>>716215782
Why the fuck are you in this thread?

>>716218141
>>716218216
TCG unironically did not exist when Wizardry was popular. Magic the Gathering was the first TCG. There were card games before it and collectible card sets before it but nothing mixed the two with the idea that the game's rules could be changed by the cards people owned until Magic. Magic came out in 93, the last real Wizardry game in 92. Pokemon was the first popular TCG in Japan and interestingly enough despite being one of the world's biggest markets for TCGs, Magic has always sold horribly there.

Japan has these badass serious designs, what's funny is that the original western manual illustrations were very goofy.

>>716218404

I see, that makes sense.
For some reason I thought magic predated wizardry.
Didn't know it came after.

>>716218554
That's kind of the funny thing with this series. Americans say it as kind of a goofy version of DnD with illustrations you mention, a race that basically psychic wookies, dominatrix gear as an item, etc. A lot of that didn't translate as goofy or a joke to the Japs so they always saw it as "The dark-fantasy western RPG series with brutal difficulty."

>>716212964 (OP)
Good starting point for someone who’s never played this series?

>>716218583
Yeah Wizardry is surprisingly old and trading card game surprisingly young. Most people don't realize trading card games are so young because trading cards have been around since like, the 40s when they started making baseball cards and card games are of course centuries old. It's almost kind of nuts it took so long for someone to look at collectible cards sold in packs and say "You know, you could make these for playing a game too, not just collecting."

>>716214201
I love skeleton enemies/knights so damn much. They are the embodiment of those dark fantasy stories for me. I wish some game made the last levels just a pure segment of homage for those dudes

>>716218573
alright I need to brush my teeth and shit or I'll be posting art all day. if the thread's still alive later I'll try to carry on
Magic & Mayhem is sorely underrated, has a lot of cool designs, all made in claymation and inspired by Ray Harryhausen's work
think it was this game that gave me a love for stylish UI and fantasy in general
good thread

>>716218514
why are you even breathing?
fuck off

>>716218662
Wizardry 6 and 7 are the last two with old school graphics and mechanics. 8 is ok but it came out years later and it's not really the game these arts come from. 6 and 7 are also both popular so they have mods you will want like an auto-mapper, unless you REALLY like the idea of playing old school and drawing your own map on graph paper. Also keep in mind these games expected you to play them with the manual handy, which can be tedious but it's better if you realize this. Things like item descriptions for instance are not in the game itself or are missing information. I would say look at 6 and 7 and see which one looks more appealing. Look into what QoL mods there are for the game you want, find a PDF of the manual and don't hesitate to consult a guide for things like making characters. These games are hard to get into, there should be 0 shame in looking up info on how to play them.

>>716218996
The way you keep lashing out at everyone who thinks these designs are gay and keeps telling you this clearly isn't the thread for you makes the other anon that called you insecure seem right. Like I imagine you're the kind of guy that has a chip on his shoulder because his peers made fun of him in high school for wearing a Naruto headband to school.

>>716219179
It's futile to try and make the blind see.

>>716219179
The designs are fine. Wiz 1-4 are great so I don't know what the fuck he's smoking there though.

>>716219179
nigger if you want bump just ask nice
no need to be a faggot about it
and stop projecting

>>716219416
>>716219516
that's Sorcerian art. still cool though

That's literally Dave Rapoza, the artist for the Lichman comics.

>>716218996
Oh man either this is some of the most genius bait someone’s ever done, or you’re genuinely underage, I can’t tell anymore

>>716218216
>>716218519
I mean, at its peak, sure, but the IP itself has been alive all this time. It's quite easy to get officially licensed cards nowadays, basically every mildly popular seinen gets a few prints at least, so I'm a little surprised that at no point was there enough interest for a Wizardry TCG considering how many cool designs there are, how beloved by nerds (no better potential buyers) it is, and how it's most popular in Japan of all places.
>>716218996
NTA but you're calling well-respected entries of the series shit while posting art from a garbage neo-Wiz gacha spin-off. Not the most likeable anon ITT.

>>716220320
sigh, so many illiterates
>>716220296
I wish I was underage so it must be me - a genius baiter

I just realized is the image limit on this board still something gay like 150?
In which case that sucks a massive cunt so I'll catbox the rest I have, which is only a couple left anyway.
But that's it for me for wizardry.

You can speed up the attack animations and even put the combat in autoplay if you want. I use both when dungeon exploring but will return to manual control when fighting tougher enemies or mobs with magic wielding creatures since I need to use my mage to spell-bind the enemy magic users.

You can try Dungeon RPG -Abyssal Dystopia- where you can move around the dungeon like in Wizardry Variants Daphne but when fighting enemy mobs, there are really no attack animations. So it's like Dragon Quest combat from the earlier games which is itself took inspiration from Wizardry.

Wow sounds even worse than I thought then.

>>716220443
Okay cool it doesn't look like it is, that's nice at least.
Should I do some SMT since the another anon who wanted to disappeared?

if anyone's interested:
the best way to experience classic wizardry currently is Wizardry The Five Ordeals
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1308700/Wizardry_The_Five_Ordeals/
it's working on wiz 1-4 rules with some fixes. it also supports user made scenarios, in which japs try to break those rules over the knee by introducing custom spells, equipment and monsters

>aiiii, somebody recommended me wizardry game in wizardry thread? I am going insane
>aiaia, it have good looking girls in it? oy, I need to snort some farts to recover
seriously
>no thanks, I don't play gacha
sound more cool than you whining about anime girls in a game that was endorsed by co creator of wizardry and is seen as its spiritual successor(and is actually pretty good game EVEN, EVEN, EVEN if its gacha)

I'm interested.

I was wondering if the OP was lying to me.

>>716221294
Kaneko's speciality is drawing dick shaped monsters.

Yeah this is a pretty good one, I approve.

>>716221167
Alright, I'll post some cool stuff I like.
Or I would but all the files are webp...
I'll see if I can work around that somehow.

>>716220949

It's a choice. You don't have to use auto-combat. But quests can get repetitive, so I use it.

do not open

>>716220429
Snarky comment and no argument, just what was expected from a poster such as yourself. Get well.

>>716221596
I liked how they referenced this in dungeon meshi

thread was fun while it lasted i guess

Wiz threads always make be big sad in that Japan was never that big into RLs to basically inhale an entire series into perpetuity

The Dark Spire is still one of the best looking games I've seen.

>>716212964 (OP)
Why did Japan love Wizardry so much?

>>716222126
Mostly because Japan had their own idiosyncratic thing isntead of wizardry/dnd called Record of Lodoss War.
Which was just like a modified DND campaign played by a bunch of people and dumbed down for the Japanese audience published in a magazine.
It somehow became a big franchise and their own version of it with those specific characters made for that play session.

>>716221970
nah, start shit get shitted
if he acted in civilized way from the start then there would be not shitflinging
>>716222048
>hating on meshi

>>716222323
Wait THAT's what lodoss war?
It's a dnd campaign?
Holy shit I never knew, I thought it started as like a videogame or a manga or an anime originally.

That's both kind of really cool how something so weird like that made by just a bunch of players who published their game records turned into a massive multimedia franchise and also kinda dumb...

these both have some Wizardry inspired designs

>>716214361
Japanese dog kobolds came from Wizardry (Which took it from ODnD which was never translated to Japanese)

>>716218554
>this is your party

>>716222674
Pretty soulful.
Also that's a very japanese looking staff design for a priest.

>>716221227
Oh no the 3D modeller didn't get the memo and made the face look a lot more child-like. What a shame. I'll stick to the SMT succubus

>>716214479
I really enjoyed this game until the content ran out. I hope they adapt it into a single player game when it inevitably shuts down

>>716222674
cartoon fantasy aesthetics are underrated

>>716220949
Pretty much every JRPG in the past two decades has an auto battle command

Some japanese dnd stuff while i'm converting smt webps.

>>716222751
This is the Japanese art for D&D Rules Cyclopedia (BECMI) ruleset, they had alternate artwork for the Japan releases.

>>716222959
I imagine this is more modern.
Here's a dnd player guide cover.

>>716213849
yes

And another.

>>716223046
Yeah BECMI was released in the 90s.

>>716212983
YO

Some more random covers.

>>716222568
because both use art from javardry

>>716223069
>is that anime babe?
>aiiiiiiiiii, i am going insane!!!

>>716223559

What about them?

cool thread
the Vermis I - lost dungeons and forbidden woods
also has cool art

>>716223720

Some more Sorcerian / Hitoshi Yoneda stuff.

>>716223824
I've heard of this but haven't seen it myself.

They missed with this one. I do enjoy the old D&D art though more in the western style than the new slop and some of these are fine and get the idea well others are just meh.

>>716224120

>>716223932
I wish Sorcerian would get a proper remake, with tweaked combat and expanded job system.

>>716223367
Wizardry has informed practically every Japanese fantasy trope.

prefer the art style of japanese d&d

>>716223824
>>716223932
Vermis is a pretty cool book. It's a players guide to a game that doesn't exist, essentially the artist imagining a game and making the art to it

>>716224183

>>716224173
It is new art I think compared to the other older ones, so maybe that's why.
I still think it's cool but yeah it's just an imitation so doesn't hit quite the same.

>>716223932
Though on Sorcerian's cover it's more on the background, circular logos like that activate something in my brain.

>>716224074
I hope one day I can develop my skills to this level

>>716224291


>>716224263

Peak soul packaging.

>>716217359
first time seeing a bard that actually looks cool

The modern one isn't even imitation its just standardized formula: Your art MUST look like it was pumped out on a computer to look half-painted half-computer generated, no soul, no human in it. Just make it impersonal as possible.

>>716224835
Saga games have some cool ass bards.

>>716224890

>>716224835
Cool illustration by someone I saw searching for one to share for Bardic Inspiration. (Literally casts spells through songs and instrument playing, duhh that's a fucking Bard in D&D.)

love these Ogre Battle designs

>>716225010
Denam's posture here always irked me

>>716225092

>>716225092
Hell yeah, though I never liked how they actually look like in game in 3d.

>>716225171

>>716225032
yeah i feel like that's a skald
pathfinder has that class

>>716225237
the platonic ideal of a ninja and a mage

turbins need to come back for badguys

>>716225321
Tactics ogre has the one for lancer/dragoon for me.

>>716225294
Nah, Väinämöinen, he's literally a God in Flesh type too like Gandalf (where the whole grey to white idea came from probably when the Christians depicted Väinämöinen as black due to his association with sorcery and bad stuff, foreigners = evil type thing so they made him look black in paintings, he was 100% white however) though and mostly does Bardic shit like poetry slams with opponents who try to fuck with him physically after losing a wisdom check and singing them to a swamp.

>>716225436

>we'll never have a ruin explorers game
WHY LIVE

>>716225436

>>716225615

>>716225615
lol exactly what i was thinking
i want to learn to copy this art style

>>716225720
Lol what a coincidence.
Yeah it's great.

these are gross but in a nice way

>>716225786

>>716225720
You can start today, start doing style studies, draw over, see how his style works, what makes his style tick. Its the 90s sort of anime art you could see in Toonami if you need more inspiration action anime, seinen manga etc of that time has a lot of that style. Don't worry about feeling weird for copying style, Japanese do it 100% and just make it their own when learning.

>>716225808

>>716225868

mystery niggas

>>716225942

me on the right

>>716226001

>no good Slayers games either
It's like Japan hates money.

>>716226261

dunno if this already got posted

>>716226391
Don't think so, looks cool tho.
That's it for me, I'm out of pics and we're somewhat close to image limit so I'll go to just posting/lurking.

>>716225869
Even traditional artists copy shit all the time to learn, it's called master copying or master studying. It was an important part of apprenticeship under a master painter back in the day

surprised nobody posted Soulshit yet. I'll be that faggot then

>>716226561
Yep! Exactly. Only Artschoolfags will try to tell you not to study art or copy anyone ever because they don't try to teach you proper art because we got cameras for that duhh why would you want to learn to draw accurate representations? Just draw abstract lines on paper, lmao *snorts coke and farts.* Yeah that's good man.

>>716226678
wish these guys had capes in-game

>>716226764

>>716223092
why is raistlin wearing a blue robe

>>716226904
No clue but I could instantly tell it was Dragonlance for some reason. They did good job with that art.

>>716214804
I can play other Wizardry-based series, like SMT or EO or Undernauts or Variants Daphne etc., but every once in awhile I crack open Wizardry 1 and I always ragequit on floor three with all the spike traps. I just get too autistically enraged about the fact that there's no counter play except avoid the hallways, which have seemingly crazy strong enemies that have tons of AOE. Pisses me off.

>>716225996
>mystery niggas
No cooler design, it just works. I adore how menacing Werdna looks on the box art of IV. He's cool as is but the mystery nigga aura from the cover is unsurpassed.

>>716220176
I thought those face bones looked familiar!
Lichman volume 3 never ever huh.

>>716212983
WOw they copied dark souls??

>>716225808
>>716225903
if this game came out today /v/ would call it gooner shit

>>716214804
I thought the first is just straightfoward enough (for ancient CRPG standards at least) to push through with some moments where I was really sucked into the game, but I bounced off all the other entries

>>716227167
Normal (Heteronormative) Sexuality wasn't seen as a great big evil yet by big corpos or foreign filth trying to destroy our societies from inside out.

I've been really enjoying the enemy designs in Clair Obscur

Pure kino. More games need steampuink influence.

>>716227123

>>716227259

>>716227267
I know it'll sound gay, but CE33's designs feel very 'artstation-core', or like knockoff From. idk I haven't seen a ton from it to be fair

>>716227402

>>716227473

>>716227701

>>716227782

someone please return giant shoulder pads
i miss them so much

>>716227907

>>716227972
They'll come back in style in about 80 years when we're all dead.
But at least that generation will get to enjoy them again.

imagine if the japs took over ultima as autistically as they did with wizardry

>>716227956

Digital Devil Saga had some absolute banger designs.

>>716227430
>Art station core
I mean, the entire setting is around the time of the Belle Epoque and many of the enemies are direct creations of a painter
I guess artistic, stylish creations are to be expected from the time period of the world's fair and Art Deco
>Fromsoft ripoff
You lost me there though.

>>716228384
I haven't played e33 but those weird hairy monster-people with staffs that I think like to fight or something 100% look like they were made for a fromsoft game.
If you told me they were from one I'd believe you.

>>716228129

>>716226391
Here's just the pic itself

>>716228649
Very nice, thanks.

haven't played it yet but some designs from this seemed cool

>>716228904
Is it that weird capcom tower defense game?
I played the demo and it was strange.

>>716213849
It's literally just western art but with anime samefaces on human and demihumans.

>>716230742
That's not even bait, you just threw out the whole damn anchor.

>>716228741
nice i wonder who the artist of this is

>>716230897
>https://x.com/VGDensetsu/status/860484154848313345
You can just click the button that says google on the post, you know.

dunno if this is just from a case manual or something

>>716213035
*SNIIIIIIFFFFFF* ah yes very pungent my dear

>>716230810
Here's just the pic

>>716231084
Sega?

What game don't remember that one?

a good fucking thread for once

>>716233642
Again, you can just click the google button on the post and it tells you it's Traysia.

unfortunately not vidya

I always liked the THICK as hell mega lush greenery in the mana games art.
All the leaves, vines and bushes always looked so dense and magnificent.

>>716236351
imagine the smell. pic related isn't vidya but it's a pretty bitching design

>>716236351
>>716236436
>imagine the smell
Oh don't I know it.
Especially this one with that deep blue night in that amazing rainforest.
Sublime.

>>716215053
Japs having the rights to wizardry is a travesty.

>>716236351
Fun fact, the artist for that, Hiro Isono, based it off an earlier work of his. The man fucking loved jungles

>>716237572
That's pretty based.

>>716237784
I highly recommend checking out his other works if you like this kind of art

>>716212964 (OP)
I always loved this sketch-like look in most art. Just so free and loose, yet able to convey easily what they drew.

>>716238116
Will do.
Oh damn he passed away, maaan
I do really like how more designery his artwork looks with all the little stippled dots, it reminds me of how the Akira cell backgrounds were painted.

But I would also kill for art with this kind of subject matter but in the highly rendered Ghibli backgrounds style they do with those nicker poster paints.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTZhMGMe3SU

>>716238460
Yeah, not everyone can pull it off.

>>716238641
That video might not have been the best example but you know what I mean.
The usual ghibli backgrounds, they just all look so buttery smooth.

>>716212964 (OP)

>>716237187
could be worse

>>716239554

>>716225808
>>716225903
I used to jerk off to those tits when I was young.

>>716237187
Would be cool if Drecom unjewed Variants Daphne before pulling the plug, but looking back on how unceremoniously Wizardry Online was killed off, I doubt it.

Well it's been a nice thread but I'm off.
So here's one last bump from me.

>>716226391
Fucking love Jun Suemi's character art in Front Mission 2, everyone in that game looks so inhumanly attractive. Even the fat old guys look good the way he drew them.

best thread on /v/

>>716228902
That trope of having random paleo-critters as fauna on the jrpg. Its precious. That random diplocaulus just being there.

>>716246030
Akira Toriyama loved dinosaurs so it's probably his influence.

>>716234931
Looks kino still

>fantasy game has a cute and funny race

Nice goyslop thread nerds, how about you have some sex though?

>>716248571
Kill yourself.

>>716248571
I think Elmon's just a short elf there's no other characters like her

>>716213483
Thats cool

>>716248571
Very based but it's cringe when they mature mentally, they should just always be undeveloped

>>716214945

>>716250726
Ok clunkold

>>716227972
Honestly, having a few animeish characters with huge shoulder pads every now and then is great. But I've always been disgusted by the wacraft style where literally everyone gets that shit

>>716230810
I'm too lazy to dump hundreds of images from my collection just to prove a point but I'll do it if you provoke me. None of the western fantasy style art posted itt is either unique or original in design. It's clearly copied and inspired from 70s-80s book covers, ttrpg art, magazines, comic books and graphic novels. Probably some art books as well.
>>716213865
>>716213951
>>716214059
>>716214698
>>716215210
This looks like Frazetta's art, but with medieval fantasy aesthetic instead of his typical pulp fiction stuff. A little bit of Jeff Easley as well.

>>716240348
That's just a bunch of Alfs

>>716251849
doesn't matter, it's still cool

>>716248571
>>716250429

>>716227259
>>716227430
That's clearly Frazetta's Death Dealer, lol.

>>716252996
That doesn't look anything like it.

Damn. These artists are really, really good. How did they achieve that level of skill? Asking for a friend

>>716253230
Practice.

>>716212964 (OP)
why is this game so ballbustingly hard?
