Aranthor Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Hello to all. “I wasn't sure were to actually post this, so please correct me if this isn't the right place.” As the title implies, I have some art I had made a few years ago, (I think in 2002), supposedly for an IWD mod (can't remember if it was for I or II). That never happened, and luckily after discovering this site “the Gibberlings”, I remembered I still had that art somewhere. Well, I am more than happy (now that I found it) to give it to the community to use. There are 18 maps (environments) I had made back then. 2 are for a Dwarven Stronghold 3 for a Gnomes (Alchemists/Engineers Something) Stronghold 2 for a Druids Stronghold 3 for a Paladins Stronghold 3 for a Thieves Stronghold 4 for a Wizards Stronghold and 1 random wilderness site and here is the link to them (hope this works): http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22276004/IWD_Mod_Art%20%28By%20Aranthor%29.rar As I mentioned, these are free for the community to use. I think I’ve had them hidden for too long :-( Also, back then when I made these, I did have the time and energy to make stuff like this. Today, well, things are a little different, so I don't think I will be able to spend time again (at least any time soon) to start making any more. Anyway, I hope people find some use for these old lost pieces of art. I would love to see them in a mod some day :-) Quote Link to comment
lynx Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Nice job! The style resembles iwd2 more than iwd1, but it doesn't matter. Did you create all the models and textures yourself too? Quote Link to comment
Aranthor Posted December 2, 2011 Author Share Posted December 2, 2011 (edited) YES. I was really in it at the time. Now, many years later, I'm finding myself player BG1 again, and this time in widescreen Also, it's sort of my job, I am a digital artist. SO back then, much younger, it was just a joy to make all that stuff. Staying up late was just fun back then. Edited December 2, 2011 by Aranthor Quote Link to comment
berelinde Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Wow, this is awesome! Think I might have a use for some of this! And thanks for putting your name on the archive. It kills me when I find something good months/years later and I don't remember where I got it. Quote Link to comment
grogerson Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Wonderful artwork! Maybe it'll see use in the intended setting with IWD-in-BG2 progressing. It would be nice to have another mod to join Kulyok's IWD NPC's. Quote Link to comment
lynx Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Great, that means it's unencumbered and we can use it for gemrb too. Quote Link to comment
Aranthor Posted December 3, 2011 Author Share Posted December 3, 2011 I'm glad you guys like the artwork. Would be nice to walk around it some day Quote Link to comment
Dakk Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 (edited) I'm glad you guys like the artwork. Would be nice to walk around it some day Having just browsed through all the art, I can only say that I'd too would like that! Especially, I find the exterior for the Paladin Stronghold magnificicent, well done. Edited December 3, 2011 by Dakk Quote Link to comment
CoM_Solaufein Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Very nice. I'm interested in using some of it especially the interior of the dwarven hall. Quote Link to comment
Anomaly Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 (edited) Thank you for that, it's really appreciated! Edited December 7, 2011 by Anomaly Quote Link to comment
Gwendolyne Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 (edited) Hi ! I am developping a new mod and search a medieval stronghold for a new Order of Paladins. Does your file contain only bmp or jpeg maps, or the entire maps (.are, .wed, .tis ...) ? Edited December 11, 2011 by Gwendolyne Quote Link to comment

Gwendolyne Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 (edited) Only jpeg images. Sorry, that's all I've got. :-) No pb. I will download your files and check if I can use them - as a whole or only a few parts. Thanks again... Edited December 20, 2011 by Gwendolyne Quote Link to comment
qubodup Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Hello, I saw your backgrounds in this thread and I am amazed.. how does one go about creating such art? render it in a 3d editor? I assume you took 3d models from the web, created some own, took textures from the web and created some own, added lighting and rendered it? Is this how these scenes were created? Here's a preview for those too lazy to download and unrar Quote Link to comment
