Bethesda Concept Artist Adam Adamowicz Passes Away

One of the important artistic talents behind Skyrim, Fallout 3.

No Caption Provided

If you enjoyed the look of Fallout 3 and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim as much as I did, we have, in large part, Bethesda Game Studios concept artist Adam Adamowicz to thank.

Unfortunately, he’s no longer with us.

Adamowicz reportedly passed away earlier this week, the tragic result of a battle with cancer. He was 42.

There’s an informative and touching eulogy by a fellow concept artist at Awesome Robo, which includes plenty of Adamowicz’s art.

He didn't die. He just left for a new job. Jesus and God and Hercules all wanted him to come and design their new places.

Didn't know much about him until recently. Though it's still really depressing. I recently lost an uncle to cancer after taking care of him for about a year. So, I guess I'll also echo this sentiment: @DoctorLazy said:

Fuck you cancer.

R.I.P. bro.

I was never aware of this guy's existence, but his art has made an impression on me. And now I am sad. Life is weird.

Such a shame. At least a part of him has become immortalized in the work he did on such important games.

I'm sorry to hear this. Fallout 3 is probably my all time favorite game.
