Gaming Artist Lets His Mind Off The Hook, And It Looks Great
Daniel Lieske makes a living by producing art for video games. During the daylight hours he is employed by Ascaron Entertainment in Germany, but by night he is his own artistic wizard. Lieske has worked on games such as the PC strategy game Sacred, and while his art for the game is great, he feels that is is somewhat constricted.
On Lieske’s site he went on to say, “…my personal style and the stories inside my head often have to step back in order to comply with commercial requirements,” so this is often why he works with media that has little to nothing to do with video games.
The piece of art pictured above is a snippet from his online graphic novel, The Wormworld Saga, and it is breathtaking. Readers can head to Lieske’s Wormworld Saga site here and read the online novel for free (which is definitely worth it), but they can also provide donations to the artist to aid in keeping the novel continuing, which I strongly encourage.
The art in this online novel is simply amazing. The words aren’t even necessary when the art looks this good. It seems to take you away to this world that Lieske has created, and it’s a beautiful world to live in. I can’t wait to see what this artist continues to push out.
