The Fantasy Art of Computer Games #287 - Uncharted 2



The Art of Uncharted 2 - book (small)





You may remember from last week when we showcased The Art of Uncharted 2 by Ballistic Publishing that the art director for the game was Robh Ruppel -- the same Robh Ruppel who was involved with Dungeons & Dragons when it hadn't yet been bought by Wizards of the Coast, and he did a lot of book covers for Planescape, Ravenloft, and other D&D game worlds.



Presently, his website art galleries have some concept art pieces for Uncharted 2. Much more is featured in Ballistic Publishing's The Art of Uncharted 2: Among Thieves.
