Imagining a new land is a hell of a job. Artists not only have to create characters, but environments, props, materials, foliage, and more. Feast your eyes on the beautifully immersive concept art that gave life to Diablo IV: Vessel of Hatred. According to Art Director Nick Chilano, the talented crew at Blizzard Entertainment not only had to imagine a new region but still connect it back to the core world. “For Vessel of Hatred the art team took on the challenge to connect the Spiritborn, the Campaign, and the world of Nahantu together visually. This was something that required a lot of communication and alignment. Each of these parts are very important for the game and that means each aspect had to stand strong on its own as well as together as a cohesive vision. As always, the team met that challenge head on and delivered a beautiful world with compelling and connected characters.” Click through the gallery of concept art below.

In the mid-1990s, Blizzard Entertainment had a massive success with Warcraft II. Their next big game was Starcraft—a real-time strategy game set in the 25th century, which debuted in 1998. But the development of Starcraft was up against a major change in the video gaming industry: 3D graphics. Up until this point, Blizzard hand-drew their models, pixel by pixel. Early experiments in 3D, led by Blizzard Art Director Samwise Didier, had a clunky start. “I think it was the Goliath (a combat unit in Starcraft) that we first made, and it just looked kind of doink, from the game view,” says Didier. “It was muddy, and when you rendered it out, everything looked like it was one or two pixels thick.” So the art team leaned in, making the models wider and thicker, resulting in a now-distinctive over-the-top style. The style is now synonymous with Blizzard. “Everything on PC at that time was photorealistic, or trying to be, with realistic proportions. And we just said, It doesn’t look cool.” Instead, the team stopped trying to match reality and aimed for what looked right in the game. “In StarCraft, instead of having one gun, it was three guns, and they were all chunky,” says Didier. “The ‘Blizzard Style’ was inspired by a technical necessity—from trying to make things translate.” This wasn’t the only occasion when technical restrictions determined the artistic direction of the game. The Starcraft team could only use fifteen colors for each model. “You know when you go to a restaurant and they give you a piece of paper to draw on, and a box of busted crayons, and you’re kind of making do with what you’ve got? And you end up with cool stuff because you’re forced to use color combinations you’d never normally use?” Didier and the design team’s distinctive visual style—one that emerged from constraints—helped make Starcraft a fan favorite and set a visual style that remains in video games today. Starcraft: Remastered and Starcraft II are now available with Xbox GamePass.
