I want to talk a little about the wiz, Mr. Chris Avellone. Besides helping us out on the art immensely, he designed a pretty fricking cool game and inspired myself an others to really go the extra mile. Without puffing him up to much I just want to say that if Torment is 99% inspiration and 99% perspiration, it's mostly Chris'.

How does this relate to art? Well, I bet you didn't know the Chris Avellone could draw. I admit, I feel a little like I am showing baby pictures off but, awwww, he'll understand. Anyway, I know you'll like these.

Allow me to preface this by saying that we dove into our vaults to find long forgotten material for you. This stuff is some of the pre-vis art that Chris did to help us see what he was thinking. Now I've had to remove all the little notey notes that would've given you a little too much information about the area. Other than that, they're untouched.

Personally, I think this stuff rocks. Simple, elegant, to the point. Exactly what is needed.

For the first three sketches I've included the area that was made using that sketch.
