Bethesda Concept Artist Adam Adamowicz Passes Away

he is good artist.. i like fallout 3 and skyrim.. condolences to his family

Very thankful to have had him with us...he was a large part of what we enjoy. Sad to lose him..may he rest in peace and continue to be remembered.

Oh my god! I started listening to The Bethesda Podcast (bethblog.com/podcast), and the Skyrim team diary 01 is an extended interview with concept artist ADAM ADAMOWICZ. It's a really weird listen. Especially when he says ”James Gourney, our favourite artist, his line is 'I prefer my art heroes dead.' and his logic is- you pick somethin 200 years old, chances are it's got some merit to it.” Also this is a great podcast, by the way.

I knew Adam for several years. He was making amazing work long before he was at Bethesda. You just don't meet many people like him. If he wasn't an artist he surely would have been a standup comedian-- he had a larger than life personality-- mad funny and highly intelligent. We had wild times, good and bad, but what I remember most is he always had a little black book in his bag and we would constantly have to stop and wait for him to draw whatever caught his fancy: an interesting person, an decrepit wall or structure, etc... He had a creative intelligence and vigor that I inspires my my practice as an artist. His process was always about learning something, about experiencing something new in your subject matter and pushing it further, beyond the usual and derivative. His memory and work will live on, miss you buddy.

Slow day god? because it's just not enough that you made TV suck a little bit more with Andy Whitfield. You just had to ignore this one too!

It's amazing how in such a short life someone can touch so many people with his art and imagination. He will be missed.

RIP duder.. Cancer fucking sucks. My uncle lost his battle against cancer earlier this month. Worst feeling in the world knowing you can't do anything to help. Here's to finding a cure to cancer really soon!

My deepest condolences to his family

First Whitney Houston and now Adam. Darn, what a lousy way to start my day.

RIP Adam Adamowicz.

That's too bad, RIP, your art has given many people so much joy

I always enjoyed the look of those games. R.I.P. Adam.

Ah man :(

R.I.P

..bet he dropped some mad loot.

FU Cancer.

42 is young. I'm sad for his family and friends. He was talented and I'm glad he got create fantastic art for a living.

Heard this first on Reddit, knew it would be here soon. Damn shame really.

That's sad news, RIP. He'll live on in his work.

I've watch and admired his work many times and he is one of those who inspired me the most as an artist.

Rest in peace, Adam.

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

Fuck...I really loved his artstyle and just incredible creativity. Being that he is the concept designer of my favorite game ever, and an amazing one at that, he will be missed. RIP, Adam.

What a tragic loss. Rest in peace, Mr. Adamowicz, your work will be forever engraved in the minds of 10 million plus Dragonborns.

I guess some heavenly host needed a trainer so he could level up his art skills to 100.

Condolences. It's a real tragedy.

Fallout 3 and Skyrim have absolutely amazing concept art that seems to have really given direction to the entire vibe and overall direction for those games. I got the artbook for both games, and there's really distinct and interesting approaches to both games, where playing the game you can tell they knew what they wanted to shoot for early on.

RIP, I had no idea he was a large part of the genius behind bethesda. Skyrim and Fallout 3 have brought me many hours of enjoyment. Sad to see such a talented man go, but his legacy will live on.

RIP :( God what a shame, he had talent and a half.
