Peabot Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Ok.. So have you seen this concept art of Zevran..(picture below)? ..is there anyone but me that thinks he looks alot more HOTTER in this art than what he looks like in the game!? :wub: I mean the hair, tattoos, outfit..! If any of you great hair/face/tattoo/outfit/character modders out there could do something to make Zevran look like this...! :woot: Honestly I don't know what I'd do, but I would certainly worship you. Forever. http://img710.imageshack.us/img710/8383/rszzevranconceptart.jpg%20%20Shared%20with%20ImageShack%20http://stream.imageshack.us/redir.php?sl=img710/8383/rszzevranconceptart.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mlai Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 That can't possibly be official concept art. And since it's not, you're better off playing WoW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamajii Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 That can't possibly be official concept art. And since it's not, you're better off playing WoW. That's a little harsh without taking a stroll over to Bioware's DA site itself and checking before making a comment with such conviction. http://na.llnet.bioware.cdn.ea.com/u/f/eagames/bioware/dragonage/assets/media/characters/zevran/concept_art/previews/concept-preview-1.jpg Either click the image and look at the url or check the images properties. You'll notice its hosted on Bioware's, well EA's content distribution network. http://dragonage.bioware.com/characters/zevran <-- You can check Zevran's page for yourself as well.

Mlai Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Ah, so it is long-discarded early concept art, then. Probably drawn back when the artists were told "Make something like Baldur's Gate." Because obviously DAO later went in a completely opposite artistic direction (low fantasy). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peabot Posted April 20, 2010 Author Share Posted April 20, 2010 That can't possibly be official concept art. And since it's not, you're better off playing WoW. Harsh indeed. It's not like I'd take some random picture and claim it would be the official concept art if it wasn't (where's the point??). And I don't see why I should be "better off playing WoW" just because I liked this art of Zevran. It doesn't make sense and just seemed like an totally unnecessary comment, but...whatever floats your boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I don't see why I should be "better off playing WoW" just because I liked this art of Zevran. It doesn't make sense and just seemed like an totally unnecessary comment, but...whatever floats your boat. I know where poster take this "play WoW" comment. Right now, in my WoW model viewer I can create almost exactly copy of this concept from their Blood Elf model. And since all lovers of "dark fantasy" and "low fantasy" despise WoW cartoony *bad word* style and colors he made this comment. I am also DO not agree that this concept were abandoned due to the style change. In games dialogs we have traces of this style be true one. In Alister and Liliana dialog tempalar said that "all about Zev is too much his HAIR and his CLOTHES" and this non existent hairstyle have been mentioned in another Zev and Alister dialogue. Liliana and Shale commented on his tattoos often. I have always found this pretty strange since there in nothing "too much" in his in game self. VO were recorded before art style drastic change? I do not think so. It just lack of time and marketing- only Morrigan get here concept as "unkillable sex symbol" , Duncan as Devid mascot and Ogren got hairstyle as designers collective mascot. I am for one love this concept, because it have style and soul. What I would not give for it to become true in game. But there is too many modeling work involved and he is male. EDIT: I have forgot to mention something. Every time you load DAO you an see his unfulfilled concept designs ones fulfilled. This art in not old. It were drawn as promo six months before resale of DAO. http://img638.imageshack.us/img638/597/daoreferenceposter.jpg beside this image I have 3 or 4 original concept arts of him and he look the same. Just jewelry, arms tattoos and cloak were removed during the art change- hairstyle and strange feathery boa thing were meant to be implemented in game.

Kamajii Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Personally I prefer the way he looks now as opposed to the concept art. But hey, that's what mods are for. Right? He looks much wilder in the concept art, and that head to shoulder ratio... either his head looks way too small or his shoulders look way too broad. Not sure..

blkcasanova247 Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 In order to do this I think it might even require a whole new mesh. This is pretty far outside the any of the characters in game...you couldn't just retexure an existing mesh to do this IMO. If someone wanted to take a stab at this...hey I'm all for new material. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
