Yanick was previously Senior Art Director at ILM which he joined in early 2001 after working as a Senior Matte Painter on the Lord of the Rings trilogy in Wellington, New Zealand. In 2012, he was handpicked by JJ Abrams to be part of the dedicated, ongoing Star Wars Art Direction Team, and he has continued in that role since Episode VII: The Force Awakens. His talent is sought after by such Directors as Spielberg, George Lucas and Peter Jackson. Yanick has an elite reputation as an Art Director that can effectively realize a director’s vision. For over 25 years, he has worked on high-profile projects at ILM, Lucasfilm, and Weta Digital. But despite its unique look compared to the others, Val Royeaux still isn't that different from your typical fantasy towns.Yanick Dusseault is a familiar name in the vfx world. We've also seen Val Royeaux, a gaudy and colourful place, full of people who think they're better than you. It's the sort of place I think of when it comes to medieval fantasy, with dwarven street merchants yelling about their fine wares, taverns full of rowdy people, and of course an elven slum with a big magic tree. Denerim is a very murky city, for lack of a better word. With this new concept art supposedly set there, I'm hoping with all my heart that this is what the streets of Minrathous would look like when we finally get to visit.Īll the cities we've seen so far in the Dragon Age series have been your usual high-fantasy locations. We only know this from comics and lore, however, because we haven't actually seen it in-game. In the current timeline, it has fallen into decay, full of war refugees and crumbling buildings being held together by magic. It's one of the oldest and largest cities in the game's world, Thedas. If you're a fan of the series, you'll probably know a fair bit about Minrathous. I hope either 1) you are a companion, or 2) I can have that hat. Shout out to this fabulously-dressed mage. Now, according to Dragon Age 4's creative director Matthew Goldman, this concept art shows Minrathous, Tevinter's capital city. We already know parts of the game will take place in Tevinter, homeland of Dragon Age: Inquisition's best companion Dorian. It has a much different mood to the art we've seen so far, and I'm pretty stoked about what it could mean for the game's setting.
Over the weekend, BioWare executive producer Christian Dailey posted this high contrast and rather moody bit of art on Twitter, showing a mage soaked in red light in a city alleyway. That's enough for me though, and I shall endeavor to make you all excited about each and every one. Dragon 4 is still a long ways off, and the only consistent info we're getting about it seems to be through semi-regular concept art reveals.
