Title: Where did this Lords of Shadow Artwork come from?
Post by: Draculas Curse on November 05, 2010, 11:54:22 PM

check this out:

or this

Does anyone know where these originally came from? The reason I ask is because when images are put on that Castlevania wiki site they are usually sized down. I want the original sizes of these to use them as wallpaper.

Is this official artwork from Konami or a fan doing it? I have seen tons of images like that all sized down, many of them have gray backgrounds like this one:

But they all have the LOS logo in white, and no artist name which makes me think its official art, but I cant find the site they came from. Also doesnt show up in google image search, can anyone please help? thanks.

Those are in game galleries too. The artist in charge now is Jose Luis Vaello http://bervae.carbonmade.com/ (http://bervae.carbonmade.com/)

Apolake shared a gallery containing the pictures in game. They have a good size :) http://picasaweb.google.com/100489365556523803691/CastlevaniaLordsOfShadow# (http://picasaweb.google.com/100489365556523803691/CastlevaniaLordsOfShadow#)

Hope that helps.

Yeah this is some of the large amount of concept art you can unlock in the game / view right there.

wow thanks, that is a ton of artwork. Do you guys think that is all of it or should I check back on that page for more updates?

Also I would like to convert some of this to wallpaper but I dont think I can without ruining the image. Usually when you make an image bigger it messes up the pixelation. So if these are 800 x 450 and if I ant to make them 1200 x 675 or something like that to fit as wallpaper, is there a good computer program to get that done with? Is photoshop the only option? thanks.

Without looking in game, that does look like most of it. Not sure.

As for the size thing - any program stretching the image beyond it's original size will lose quality. Photoshop wont help... unless you filtered the hell out of it to hide the resolution issues.
