Lorne Contributes to Gamespot Feature on Game Art

Angalok · #1 02-18-2006, 06:52 PM

Thought I'd toss you apes a bone here:

http://www.gamespot.com/features/6144426/index.html

Gamespot interviewed several of the top creative types in the gaming industry on the subject of how one becomes a game artist. Lorne Lanning is featured prominently, and the banner for the article is a picture of a Clakker. He doesn't really say anything that we don't already know, but he does gush about how great Shadow of the Colossus and ICO are (two of my personal favorites, by the way).

Very Interesting.

I like the drawing of the Clakker on the banner.

There's also a drawing of a grubb.

Nice one.

That's good and all, happy to see Lorne being metioned as an artist in the gaming indusrty. So, are we going to see more of this feature? Or is just a single article.

Wow, great find!

Lorne is very talented. I love the drawings of the Clakker and the Grubb.
My favorite piece of Lorne's (Out of the ones that I have seen) is his Dinosaur painting! It is so cool!

Well, nice find. It was a good article.

Wonderful! Excellent find Angalok. This is very interesting indeed.

Oh, and Cullen, those (Oddworld) pictures weren't by Lorne. He doesn't do the art, he directs it.

(I want Shadow of the Colossus *tear*)

Cullen Heath · #10 02-19-2006, 02:43 PM

Oh, my bad. I assumed that sense he was on/in the article, he was the one who drew them.

But, his art is exellent, anyways.

Angalok · #11 02-19-2006, 07:52 PM

According to the article in question, Lorne hasn't personally painted or drawn in several years. A pity...

outlaw king · #12 02-19-2006, 08:48 PM

Well , his ideas are tops anyways.

Nepharski · #13 02-19-2006, 10:20 PM

Curses! I just found it and was about to post it myself. By the beard of Zeus!

Oh, yeah, good article too.

oddish, apparently they are going to do several articles, each one featuring a job within the gaming industry

I was hopeing it was only based on being an artist than the whole gaming indusrty. Because the article seemed to me only some simple answers to some straight forward questions.

Out of all those artists profiles it looks like Lorne is the most artistic one

And love those sketches Lornes produced, such a creative genius mind.

The Grubb is wearing a helmet, or battle mask.

I think you mean "voilÃ*" meaning "there"
and not "viola" meaning "raped"
