Check out some cool DDO concept art!

[Cordovan]

As we celebrate DDO's 7th anniversary, we thought it would be fun to look at some of the concept art developed over the years. Some of this dates back to 2005, while some is as recent as the development of Menace of the Underdark in 2012! Click here (http://www.ddo.com/component/morfeoshow/view/25) to check it out! We'll also try to get more concept art uploaded to this page in the coming weeks and months. Thanks!

neat stuff!

Awesome, these are really neat!

...but any chance we can get some better resolution? They are very small. :(

[Galeria]

Beautiful and interesting!

Love the shrines in Cormyr, but I've thought since I first saw them that they belong in Eberron with the techy-shiny stuff and the more primitive carved-block shrines of Eberron belong in Cormyr, a simpler, more rustic place.

But, it is what it is.

^this up here.


I'd love to have those as my wallpaper shuffle folder.

very cool, As you have posted this over the years, I saved all of them to one of many D&D DDO files.

Thanks for sharing Cordovan

This one's my favourite. I thought Demonweb looked uniquely mysterious and frightening by depicting itself as weathered bones of long dead worlds. Now I see, how even more atmospheric and sad it could have been, if it would have presented some still uncorrupted larger pieces of worlds.
It's a difference between looking at an unidentifiable skeleton or a still semi-recognizable decaying body of a fellow being.
WHY DIDN'T YOU MAKE IT LIKE THAT!?!

EDIT:
May have changed my mind about the favourite:

I really wanna know what number 5 was supposed to be, was that possibly an early work for temple of vol or black mosuleum?... an unknown asset of some kind... something pitched but never done.... possibly part of the upcomming expansion... this I wanna know because I wanna go there lol.

It's the burned down temple of Amaunator. You can see it in the NW corner of Eveningstar, pretty much brick for brick as it is in this concept art. It has an impressive attention to detail considering it's purely scenery.

EDIT: For those like me that are interested in higher resolutions, it seems they updated the Concept art section (http://pinterest.com/dndonline/concept-art/) of their Pinterest (http://pinterest.com/dndonline/) page.

EDIT2: I'd like to add this one (http://img856.imageshack.us/img856/5784/conceptarttowerofdespai.jpg) as well since it's missing. An awesome Tower of Despair concept art.

considering as out of the way as it is in evingstar I never really payed attenton to it... guess you can play the game on and off for 7 years and not SEE everything lol.

I knew what it was and where it was right away. But, then, I took a whole day to walk through ES and look at everything. (including the gravestone)

Beat me to it! The concept art is up in its native resolutions on our Pinterest page here (http://pinterest.com/dndonline/) (note that you do not need a Pinterest account in order to see the page or access the images.) The Pinterest page has a couple of other pieces of concept art that were grabbed (mostly) from various DDO.com articles over the years, but I can grab those and add them to the current concept art page as well.

I know this is asking for a LOT when your plates are fairly full, but would it be possible to get some new art into the avatar choices? Pretty please? There has to be lots of it hanging around somewhere.

I am thinking some MotU stuff would be awesome! Especially if it happened to include some druid love. :)

Yes, I will make a note to do this when time permits.

[susiedupfer]

Thank you so very much!

[Johnstone]

Yes, I will make a note to do this when time permits.

Also, there's no mark of Storm. I want my mark of Storm.

[fco-karatekid]

I suggested this to Tolero regarding community voiceovers; but why not give tech specs, max sizes, resolution, etc, and have the community submit them. Those that are good/appropriate get dropped in as an avatar choice.

You have a lot of humans with free time on their hands that could make for very good forum content.
