Hey all...i know this isn't really about the language....but recently i have been doing loads of art to get into a school. I got across loads of art styles in gaming. I have been wondering which Japanese video game artist you all like the most (FOR THOSE WHO LIKE VIDEO GAMES...)
I like Toriyama Akira-san's art for all the JRP's he has been working on...especially those from Dragon Quest ! To think that such a creative Mangaka could work on such works.
This is more of a thing i like to discuss because i do like playing video games and making art.
It depends on whether you're referring to background and concept art or character design...but I suppose in both cases Yoshitaka Amano (and the guy who ruins his work, Tetsuya-nantoka lol) and Akihiko Yoshida are definitely up there on the list!
as for creativity in concept and character design, maybe the design team of Monster Hunter simply for the sheer quantity of designs; from armor to monsters, they never run out of ideas. Also, the Guilty Gear series' character design as well as the Y's series (sadly don't know who the Y's artist is..)
But as for transforming concept art into full-scale 3D renditions, I looove what they did with Fire Rmblem's art (especially Awakening and the new upcoming one,) combining cellshading and CG work so beautifully without making it look too artificial. Aaah so much to talk about on this topic. If you prefer mangaka who work on games as well, can you mention a few more? So we'd get an idea of what type of art you like most.
I really like the art from Final Fantasy and Tales of Xillia. I don't know the artists names, but I really liked the art of the games when playing them on the PS3.
Dark Souls I and II, Bloodborne Art and Design by FromSoftware.
God of War I,II, and III Art and Design by Monica Studios.
The Curse of Monkey Island and Day of the Tentacle by Lucasarts Studios.
Forget the name of the person, but the character designer who worked on the early silent hill games.
