Darkfall’s Art: From Idea to Model
October 15, 2010

Being a small development team sometimes means that our members find themselves doing tasks which weren’t necessarily mentioned in their job descriptions.
In this case it means that our Quest Designers, with the lore in mind, sometimes, take it into their own hands to bring their ideas to paper to give the artists a proper look into their visions. Below we share a few examples of designs by one of our quest designers.
Take a look at how ideas and design templates transform into actual models for some of the upcoming changes and let us and the design and artist team know what you think :
The new look of one of the Arthain Family members
New Arthain Model
The new Oathbound Model in all its glory
The new Oathbound Model
The new Demon Queen Model
The new Demon Queen
The Gorra Dar Concept and Model

Arthain as a playable race would be epic
lol @ first pic, its like ..WTF…
That’s ph4t.
The new oathbound looks absolutely badass. And … sick, in the meantime.
The new demon queen looks weird tho, that thing on her tummy looks like a big arm-penis. :<
looks like you guys are finally on the right track but i dont know how ur engine will display those models the way they are rendered. personally id love to see you change ur game engine to support bump mapping/displacement mapping and true dynamic light sources something about walking through a pitch dark dungeon with a torch is pretty epic.
Those new models look amazing. I love the stick man drawing for the first pic and then the fully realised model at the end. EPIC !!!!!!
Demon Queen? Did I miss that one?
These new models look really cool.
I guess the newer models will have to wait till DF2010 and Dx11!?

The Arthain looks great, except for the model’s ears make them more pointy, the concept art has elf ears, and I am pretty sure that Arthain are supposed to be ex Elves.
The Demon queen is pretty cool, but I like how it is in concept form more than how it came out in the actual model.
Either way everything is really well done. Can’t wait!
If I remember…I don’t think they are elves…maybe I’m wrong. I don’t remember what that quest said =/

Looks cool!
Though I must the Gorra Dar’s design doesn’t look “functional”
Four of thos kind of legs don’t look like enough for any gd stability, and how can they burrow exactly? …
re: quest designers … working on the lore/story of an mmorpg must be a real dream job. So jealous! xD
