Style in the end is about conscious creative choices, personal tastes and expression. You have to see and experience reality - observational drawings, drills, studies - before you can interpret anything in your lens

And that last part requires going out into the world and living and experiencing

the TLOU show is just insanely bad. casting Bella Ramsay as Ellie is such a feat of stupidity that it should be studied in history books... and the writing... abysmal

typical game adaptation

never heard of that, sorry

To so effectively conceptualize and bring to life a world like Half-Life 2's, not just on his own but in such successful coordination with the other artists around him, is a legacy that will far outlive Viktor Antonov and genuinely may never be touched by anyone again, at least in the same way. 4/6

Rest in peace, Viktor Antonov. Your work defined and continues to define not only the narrative and aesthetic heights achievable by video games as an artform, but touched and inspired the lives of millions.

We have suffered an immeasurable loss. 6/6

rest in peace Viktor Antonov

my life wouldn't have been the same without your vision

Our thoughts with the family & friends of Viktor Antonov. He was a visionary who added a unique and powerful voice to our medium.

Moreover, we interviewed several of his colleagues over the years and were always confronted with broad smiles when his name came up.

Thank you Viktor. Rest in peace.

RIP Viktor Antonov.
I wish I told you how much admiration I had for you but we get caught in our lives until a surprise like this hits us.
You were instrumental to the success of Arkane Studios and an inspiration to many of us, also a friend with whom I have many fond memories

Rest in Peace Viktor Antonov. ❤️
You've been a pillar of Video Game Art identity.

Terrible news. Viktor Antonov was a true visionary

Dunwall

I didn't want to say much till I felt it was confirmed, but I learned today that Viktor Antonov, our visionary art lead on HL2, has died. I don't have details. Just sadness. Brilliant and original. Made everything better.

Word on the street is that Viktor Antonov, the artist behind Half-Life 2’s City 17 and Dishonored’s Dunwall, has passed away. Two of the greatest environments in gaming, all laid out with absolute precision.

There’s a great Vice article from 2017 on his work: www.vice.com/en/article/h...

Just found out about Viktor Antonov passing away. RIP to a legend. His art for Half-Life 2 and Dishonored has been a well of inspiration for me

Mr. Antonov was and still is my greatest inspiration as an artist. His work on the Half-Life 2 Beta has inspired my art for years.

It's sad to see such a titan of the industry pass so soon. And that he won't be able to see the successor to his most famous work, HL3.

Rest in Peace Viktor.

RIP Viktor Antonov, the man who visually shaped the world of Half-Life 2, a game that I hold close to my heart

masterful; on another level in terms of how he thought of art, process, world building, etc.

Visionary is an extremely apt word for a talent like Viktor Antonov. An incredible loss for the community and his loved ones.

seems so. tragic

Rest in peace Viktor Antonov. Wasn't expecting to hear this news after waking up from a nap.

an immeasurable loss.

A post from Marc Laidlaw, writer of the Half-Life series. "I didn't want to say much till I felt it was confirmed, but I learned today that Viktor Antonov, our visionary art lead on HL2, has died. I don't have details. Just sadness. Brilliant and original. Made everything better."

One of the greatest visual designers of our age has passed. I still pore over his concepts and compositions and feel an awe before a timeless brilliance — progressive and speculative and yet inhering total physical credibility.

There's been too much saddening news of late.

Despite the Todd Howard of it all, Bethesda has published some incredible-looking games, and Viktor Antonov is a big reason for that. RIP.

Rest well Viktor Antonov. What a legend he was - his work was always incredible no matter what he made, and it’s a tragedy he was taken from us at the age of 53.

🕯️

According to a recent social media post by Marc Laidlaw, Viktor Antonov - Half-Life 2's visionary art director - has passed away.

Assuming this is true, we are extremely saddened to hear this news.
