Game Art Appreciation Thread

In the wake of some of the negativity surrounding the game’s team lately, I wanted to bring up something that the team has been consistently on point with, especially lately.

The game’s troop art and environments have been a slam dunk lately! It’s been a long time since we’ve had any pieces of questionable quality or sketchy legality, and they look amazing and follow a consistent style.

Here’s just a few of my recent favorites, and I encourage players to post other art as well.

I like Queen Xochi’s art. You say “Fireball”, but looking at it more, I see a yellow haired Dwarf with pink cotton candy stuck in his beard. :blush:

What impresses me is that despite all the changes in the game over time, that the artwork in the game is both diverse and evocative in design at the same time; a quality that I rarely in games these days.

Abynissia

Jarl Firemantle

@Denthegod, when I saw your recent topic about Crazed Troll, I thought you might like to see and participate in this thread :blush:

Thanks! This topic is pretty cool! Unfortunately I don’t know how to edit pictures and post them. I remember my first mythic, Scorpius… the artwork is so damn good for him, too.

Here you go buddy!

There are a lot of great artwork in this game and some of them are already posted so here my picks:

Suna

The Silvermaiden

Lady Ironbeard

Rakshanin

…and all the female fey from Glacial Peaks :sweat_smile: (NOT Frost Archer which is weird)

In addition to the ones you already mentioned like, Lady Ironbeard, Suna, Mother of Darkness, Abynissia…

It’s by far the best monthly event art.

We’ve got art for 38 kingdoms, 38 factions, and 1398 troops with 1398 spells, with more every week. I love this game :heart_eyes:

The variety and world-building is so cool. I once thought about using GoW troops as a base for homebrewing D&D enemies because the locations and environments are so varied and creative!

Thanks @NerdieBirdie I shared this with the team :slight_smile:
Sirrian and Nimhain are huge D&D nerds!
Sirrian was working on a Krystaran homebrew as he has lore for everything Krystara.
He also DMs a non-GoW session for the team after work :slight_smile:

Whaaaaat! I would love to see some of Sirrian’s GoW D&D ideas! Such a cool concept!

Y’all playing D&D after works makes my heart happy :blush::joy:
