Seeing as I post a Fine Art feature almost every day, itās only right that we take a minute to honour some of the best concept, production and promotional art the world got a chance to see in 2012.
Due to the nature of the fieldāone in which art can be locked away for yearsāand also the fact I often share images from older games, Iām not going to simply post the best art (both concept and promotional) thatās appeared here in 2012, because itās been from all over the place. Nor am I going to assume to be posting the best images drawn in 2012 because, as explained above, most of those are probably still under lock and key for a few years.
So Iām going to post the best pieces of art for games that came out in 2012. That seems the most fair!
The gallery above features art from games like Mass Effect 3, Syndicate, Assassinās Creed III, Halo 4 and Guild Wars 2, just to name a few. Iāve only selected one piece from each game; the links to the credited artists in the gallery will take you to a lot more.
