True beauty exists in things that last only for a moment.
Current Mood: And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe. Maybe this year will be better than the last. I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself. To hold on to these moments as they pass...
Finally, a category that actually makes sense for the nominees
This was a tough call. I really like SMT's art, and all the various demon designs it has. And with Outer Worlds, Obsidian often seemed to lean too heavily on their past with Fallout, even in the art department.
But when Outer Worlds doesn't do that, its sci-fi art is great. And I love sci-fi art.
So, in the end, I gave it to Outer Worlds. Just barely.
I'm certainly bias here...
Yet I really love Retro sci-fi art. It's the main thing that keeps Fallout in my radar because I really love the aesthetics. With that said though, Nocturne's art style is incredibly unique, even among the franchise it's from. The Outerworld's looks great, but it's too reminiscent of the team's previous efforts whereas you would be hard pressed to find something that looks like Nocturne in the genre.
