Electronic Arts has set a pretty high bar for the interviews that they’ve done with us. So far we’ve been able to speak with the art teams and share really great artwork from Mass Effect 2 and Army of Two. Today we are pleased to bring you a new installment – this time dedicated to one of the top RPG titles of all time: the award-winning Dragon Age: Origins!
Released in December of 2009, DA:O is a dark fantasy RPG created by BioWare as the spiritual successor to their famous Baldur’s Gate series. By creating their own world and rules system for the game, BioWare was able to break entirely new ground. Part of this meant a distinctive art style, a huge cast, and many diverse creatures.
While many of our past interviews have included high resolution images for your viewing pleasure, the team at BioWare wanted to go one better. They’ve also provided two spectacular animations that you won’t see anyplace else!
Here are a few of the MANY images that are found in the interview. Find them there so that you can see them full size!

Many thanks to Shane and his team for taking the time to share so much with us about their work on DA:O! Pixologic would also like to extend a big thank you to Electronic Arts for granting permission!
Use this thread to discuss EA’s Dragon Age: Origins artwork. Give the artists your encouragement, too; they’re already hinting that they’d like to give us a follow-up when Dragon Age 2 releases in March!
Be sure to also check out our many past interviews, which can be found in the ZBrush Artist Interviews forum and the User Stories page at the Pixologic website.
