So, Brink is out. And itās divisive! Some people appreciate the new things itās trying to do, others lament the fact the game is in many ways simply broken, while others still have no idea what to think. Whatever your view on the game, though, surely we can all agree the thing looks great.

Interestingly, the inspiration for the gameās unique art style comes from some unlikely sources. The slightly deformed player models, with their elongated features, were inspired by the works of Australian sculptor Ron Mueck, as well as American comic artist Jon Foster
Brinkās āwashed outā colour scheme, meanwhile, draws from English pop artist David Hockneyās famous series of swimming pool paintings from the late 1960s, along with American artist Edward Hopperās strong, contrasting use of light (Hopperās Nighthawks should be familiar to just about all of you).
The gallery above features concept art for the game, where the colours and hyper-real character design from the above inspirations are clear to see. If the pic looks a little āzoomed inā, be sure to click the āexpandā icon to see it at full size.
