this is gorgeous, bloodborne has such a great artstyle - i'm considering making an !imaginarysouls@lemm.ee unless someone else gets there first

although i must ask you to post an artist's name and/or source in future

(by the way, i like your url, mr floppy@rabbitea.rs)

[–] floppy@rabbitea.rs 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Source is https://bloodborne.fandom.com/wiki/Cathedral_Ward - I can't find an artist name.

(and thanks, not my server but had to sign up there when I saw it πŸ™‚)

[–] Zeus@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

now ideally the imaginary lemmysphere's are for drawing attention to an artist, as well as an artwork

i'm not going to remove this (for now), but i am going to gently rebuke you

[–] floppy@rabbitea.rs 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Consider me rebuked. I will remember this for future posts.

(i'm sorry. i hate modding. i really want to thank you for posting; but there's various reasons i encourage this rule, including copyright)

if i may use @Crul@lemm.ee as an example; this is what they did when unsure of the artist

(i also have a few pieces of wolfenstein concept art that i haven't yet posted because i'm searching for the artist)

I gave it a try, but the closest I could get is the page 127 of the book linked by @floppy@rabbitea.rs on the other comment (added below in higher resolution). I'm not even sure if they list the names of the artists. It would not surprise me if the illustrations were drawn by unnamed-low-ranking artists from a subcontractor.

I did find a list of artists on https://www.creativeuncut.com/art_bloodborne_e.html but they aren't attributed to any particular artwork - and the one I posted isn't here.

[–] Crul@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Awesome find!

IMHO it seems impossible to attribute it to any specific artist, but I'd love to be proved wrong :).

[–] floppy@rabbitea.rs 3 points 2 years ago

Unfortunately I think this one will have to remain unattributed.

For the sake of completeness, the artist is likely to be one of the following; Daisuke Satake, Hiroshi Nakamura, Masanori Waragai, Masahiro Miki, Masanao Katayama, Mai Hatsuyama, Yusuke Kato, Ryuji Baba, Kota Tonaki, Kento Koga, Tetsu Takahashi, Tsutomu Kitazawa, Wataru Kami, Yusuke Oda, Emi Kaneko

i didn't ping you just by typing your name, did i? i'm sorry if that's the case, i though it would only do so if i inserted it as a formatted link

It would not surprise me if the illustrations were drawn by unnamed-low-ranking artists from a subcontractor.

yeah that's what i though would be the case. it's unfortunate that game companies do that (particularly but not solely japanese ones, i've noticed). thank you for your efforts though

i didn't ping you just by typing your name, did i? i

You did, but it's ok, don't worry. I'm not sure how it works either, but I've been assuming it's the @username@instance text what triggers the notification. That has been the common pattern in the notifications I've got.

[–] Zeus@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

how weird, i've typed that before and it didn't ping people. i assumed it had to be [@username@instance](https://instance/u/username)

[–] floppy@rabbitea.rs 2 points 2 years ago

The official art book doesn't appear to give the artist's name either πŸ˜• https://archive.org/details/artbook-Bloodborne_Official_Artworks
