Artist Adam Adamowicz Passes Away from Cancer
My husband is a geek. No two ways around it – he loves Star Wars, computers, and gaming. I love him for all of that and more — he shared with me the news of one of the artists from one of his current favorite games has died from cancer. I don’t know what kind of cancer but he was way too young — cancer steals another…
Adam Adamowicz, one of the main concept artists for Fallout 3 and Skyrim passed away Wednesday, February 8th. Adam was a one-man conceptual machine, who unlike his contemporary counterparts, did a majority of his work in a non-digital medium. Fallout 3 was practically visually designed from the ground up by the humble man that was known as Adam. His post-apocalyptic wastelands were a beauty to behold. I know from my experience the art from both Fallout 3 and Skyrim were some of the best parts in both games. Fallout 3 was a revolution when it originally arrived because it managed to take a well-known 2D world and then translate it to the 3D space without losing any of its charm. Unfortunately, Adam was a man with limited time due to his fight with cancer. His passing was a tragic moment to all that knew him and admired his work in the video game field. It’s highly likely that Bethesda is already working on a new Fallout game, and without Adam they will need to make a decision on how they want the art style to evolve. Will they try and have their team re-create Adam’s style, or will they go to a completely different direction? Either way, gamers will be poorer for not being able to play another game based on his beautiful style.
