CD Projekt's The Witcher® Featured at Into the Pixel Art Exhibition During E3
April 28, 2006 - CD Projekt RED announced
today that The Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences
(AIAS), the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) and the Prints
& Drawings Council of the Los Angeles County Museum of
Art (LACMA) have cordially chosen artwork from CD Projekt's
The Witcher® for the third annual Into the Pixel exhibition
of video game art, taking place during E3 in Los Angeles May
10-12. The chosen image, entitled "The Road," was completed
by talented Damian Bajowski, accredited concept artist who
has been working on The Witcher® since the project's
conception.
Scheduled for release in Spring 2007, The Witcher® transports
players to a unique fantasy world in the role of legendary
monster-slayer Geralt of Rivia. The game blends a classic
role-playing experience - with extensive character and story
development - and unprecedented real-time combat that is both
stunning and tactical. Based in the world created by
celebrated author Andrzej Sapkowski, The Witcher® is poised
to reinvigorate the role-playing genre with a fresh approach
to traditional PC role-playing games.
Into the Pixel is videogame artists' one annual opportunity
to receive recognition for their creative achievements by
peers in both the digital and fine art worlds. Video games
are an influential aspect of pop-culture and entertainment
whose impact goes beyond the digital arts to influence
perspectives in art, cinematography, literature and even
fashion. And behind every game character and dynamic
environment are artists whose talents birthed the image seen
in the 3-D world.
Into the Pixel 2006 will premiere May 10-12, at the
Electronic Entertainment Expo, in the Los Angeles Convention
Center Concourse Foyer.
