The Concept Art

Joe Siegler · 09-26-2008, 11:10 AM

Has anyone had a chance to look at the concept art? Other than the other story about the art gallery today, I've seen just about zero discussion about the old concept art we included. I have to say I'm a little surprised by that, I thought the fans would be all over the concept art.

mimicTT · 09-26-2008, 11:19 AM

People are too busy playing this awesome game again

I know i am, ill look at the gallery when im done with the game.

Klaus Kinski · 09-26-2008, 11:37 AM

I would comment on the concept art if I could see it.

Im gonna say the same thing now. Just got ready for some more duke, turned on the 360 and was greated with 3 red rings

Dukefan24 · 09-26-2008, 11:49 AM

I've seen a few pieces of the concept art, after playing hours of gameplay..

But yeah, the 'first' version of the pig cop and the pig cop ideas were pretty impressive, I suppose it's just that the actual game has been more impressive at the moment.

I'm finding it very interesting to see how parts of the game evolved, and stuff that was left out interests me as well but i'm too busy trying to get the 500 ranked kills to discuss much.

Joe Siegler · 09-26-2008, 01:05 PM

Fair enough everyone. I guess I expected more "Hey, that's cool". Didn't consider people were too busy playing to be honest. My mistake.

Phase II · 09-26-2008, 01:11 PM

I wish I could see the last few lol only the online achievements left to go.
Who did the concept art in the gallery ? I want the second one as my background

Pig cops FTW
#16 would have made a good box cover, I think I like it more than the one that's on it.

Joe Siegler · 09-26-2008, 01:18 PM

All the concept art was drawn by former 3DR artist, Chuck Jones. You can see his name on some of them.

No relation to THE Chuck Jones of Bugs Bunny fame I take it?

Joe Siegler · 09-26-2008, 01:43 PM

Nope. Haven't had to answer that question in many a year.

Did he do the cover art as well?

Joe Siegler · 09-26-2008, 01:59 PM

You mean that classic Duke shot? I don't think so, but I honestly don't remember for sure either way.

His art style looks allot like a friend of mines.
He has a very intense style of drawing you look at the concept and you can tell that pig cop means business.
The art style in Duke Nukem is one of the reasons I have liked it since I was young.

The art style of Duke 3D is excellent and the cover art and the picture in my looking for Duke Nukem art thread are two of the best pieces of artwork i've ever seen, and that's coming from an Iron Maiden fan! lol

Phase II · 09-26-2008, 03:22 PM

OK I keep reading about the last 2 pics in the gallery, I'm going to stay up just so I can get 500 kills.
I want to see them now but I think it would be best if I earned it

Steve · 09-26-2008, 03:26 PM

I love the art gallery.

Dude!

That post deserves a Ted! A very angry Ted

Rezzman · 09-26-2008, 04:13 PM

I got a kick out of the storyboard. I also liked the Assault Trooper art.

Back when I was younger, I too thought they were tigers. XD

Steve · 09-26-2008, 04:14 PM

Heh. I also thought they were some tiger bad guy too when it was first released

I would be all over it even, i love Concept Art..! I'm quite jealous actually, i would really, love to see the concept art from this game in particular, it means much to me that i see as much as possible of the game that has anything to do with visuals...

Especially if an Octabrain Concept art would be involved, i'd go crazy

snake289 · 09-26-2008, 04:49 PM

I Could see why Joe was hyping up the concept art

There's a few octabrain pics, yes

MegaMustaine · 09-26-2008, 05:43 PM

The story board of Duke and the Overlord is pure awesomeness.

I hope DNF has some kind of artbook.

Like the Prey Collector's Edition did.

I love concept art.

Not really. I specifically waited to talk about the concept art until after what I'm sure you're referring to was talked about without intervention from us.

ManlyStalk · 09-27-2008, 12:24 AM

The concept art is cool for sure, but it's a fairly standard "extras" feature these days.... at least in the retro ports I own, so I can only get so excited about it. I was paying attention more to the User Clips and Death Rewind features. Very, very awesome additions.

I say that with all the love of my $10 and future 3D Realms title $$$ I have saved.

Woutsie · 09-27-2008, 02:08 AM

I haven't checked it since I think you unlock more concept art when you complete a level, find secrets, unlock achievements... Right?

Yes, you earn more artwork as you unlock achievements.

Stevey Boy · 09-27-2008, 05:08 AM

Ive just got my 200/200 points so have been skimming through the concept art, I really like it, good idea to include it

I was the one that scanned those in for use in the game. George came down to my office one day with a bunch of old concept art sketches, the source originals from our archives. Was told to treat them extremely carefully - some of them looked like you'd tear them into 30 pieces of you farted the wrong direction. They looked really fragile, but they are out there digitally now.

Damien_Azreal · 09-27-2008, 07:39 AM

The concept art is one of the things I'm looking forward to seeing the most.

I've always loved and been extremely interested in conceptual drawings from game studios.

Micki! · 09-27-2008, 07:40 AM

I feel the same as you Damien, i love getting Collectors editions of games, when they come with an art book, or something alike...

Joe, would you mind, someday showing those online too..?
I am dying to see the original concept art that was used for Duke Nukem 3D
