Our good friends over at 3dTotal have been hard at work developing a beautiful art heavy card game, which is now accepting pledges over at Kickstarter

Prime Wars originally started out as a call for art submissions for the Prime set of books and has evolved into a collection of utterly amazing individual pieces of art from some of the greatest digital artists on the planet!

Those great guys and gals over at 3DTotal are giving away a free chapter of The Digital Art Masters: Volume 5!

Over the past few weeks James Hawkins has updated his portfolio to include some of the new GOW 3, UT3 and Bulletstorm concept art that he has created for Epic over the past few years.

ArenaNet have published a fantastic article on the environment art that is featured in the upcoming MMORPG Guild Wars 2

The article goes over how they created the awesome environments for the game and how they evolved over time into what will be seen in the final game.

Epic is an understatement.

Check out this mind boggling portfolio by Geoffroy Thoorens!

Eat3ds second and third challenges: Head Sculpting and NextGen Small Scene are over and the results are in!

With a ton of really fantastic scenes and sculpts, we couldn't be more pleased with the high standard and turnout of the challenges and it was really tough to wade through all the great entries to pick the final winners

Libre Graphics World have done a great interview with Sintel art director David Revoy!

In the interview David goes over how GNU software has helped him realise his goals, how he became a part of Sintel and the challenges that he faced during his time with the team.

If you want to see some more of the "MuppetMan's" work, go to his website and check out some of his sketches and sculptures as well. Mr. Moffitt has a really clear and refreshing style.
