JoshuaTheJames over at conceptart.org posted this LINK of some concept art done by Mad! for a game called Dungeon Runner(I think) by NcSoft. There's 3 images by Mad!, I'm not sure if these are done under the Vigil company or some older concepts that are now just been shown, I'll look into and maybe see if Mad! can give some info if he's not busy. Thanks for the news Joshua!

NICE! They're all great, but I love the second one especially.
I love the human female with the dual swords most. It's inspiring. The dungeon entrance is captivating as well. Two thumbs up from me.
These are sick. I hope Joe does a sketchbook someday printing his game design work.
do you know that joe mad will pencill 1-3 pages of a batmansuperman story in memory of Loeb's son?
however very interesting sketches
Yeah it's on the news on the front page right now..under the one titled "Lots of News." Also there was more news on it but that was before the site went down like a month ago.
I really like Joe Mad on comics. But he isn't so talented like the japanese and korean dudes to CREATE stuff. Mad! just SWIPS a few Final Fantasy ideas and change them a lil. Yup, he's really talented at drawing, but not creating. NOTHING that he creates is original, everytime I see some of his creation I've already saw in another game/anime.
TK sounds a little bitter there.
These concepts dont really look like anything Iv seen in Final Fantasy. They have that familiar fantasy art feel to them that pretty much all fantasy art does, but to say all Joe does is rip off other fantasy games and anime is a bit overzealous.
Too many people are quick to yell "rip off" just because something might remind them of somthing else.
On to the actually subject, I hope this game actually comes out.
I think theres been at least 2 games MAD has done art for so far that got caned. For whatever reason it was, I hope it doesnt happen again with this one.
I'm with Paxtin. VX has to consider that there are millions of images on this planet. Just because one looks similar to another doesnt mean it was downright plagiarized.
I think MAD has a distinct style that seperates him from many artists. His work is incorporating more realistic elements in terms of shading and costume design. The dynamic power of his work is increasing with time and each new cover or project he produces increments in stealer awesomeness.
And where do you see Final Fantasy in his video game work? The resemblance is infinitesimally minute if you ask me.
Does anybody have any Exarch sketches to show? I remember they were once displayed on someone's website but in very small sizes. To see those a little larger would be outstanding!!
I know the site your talking about and I have those images saved cause he took them down. I want to post them...I have written the guy a couple times about the images and he hasn't written me back yet, So I don't want to post them without his permission. There are the sketches that are in the gallery if you haven't seen those.
yeah, I remember some of the exarch characters were done in 3-D from joe's artstyle. I saved them somewere.I have to look for them on my other harddrive. they looked really cool. A game based on joe's art would kick ass.
I deleted some comments that were totally immature and if they're posted again I will just continue to delete them. There was one by Yikes that wasn't offensive but I deleted it because it was in the string of comments.
I don't mind comments about lateness or that you don't like what he's doing in games, but if you start attacking people with offensive language..specially people that are just minding their own business, I will continue to delete your posts.
Oh sorry jason I should've just said earlier that I won't be tolerating any of your crap. Your new post was better..though not really..but your first post you stepped so far past the line that all your comments will just be deleted.
To everyone else if he posts again just ignore it cause it will just be deleted as soon as I see it and any post that's in response to it. I don't mind some bad words but not when it's directed at a person and when it's that offensive.
Oh looks like my finger slipped on the delete button as well.
pwned.
too much time on their hands. That's all it boils down to.
Who was that dude Nathen? Do you know him in real life?
I have no idea where the guy came from or what his problem is...seems he just wanted to start problems.
I thought it was funny how he called MAD washed up, whoever he was, he was clearly delusional.
you are blind if you think MAD ISNT washed up. the guy hasn't put out a monthly comic since i graduated from high school, which was 98. i admit he's a great artist but a HUGE dissapointment to his fans. feel free to disagree with me, but i dont really care if all (like 14) of you dont like what i have to say because he has no video game under his belt that i've heard of and never finished BattleChasers (which by the way i own every issue he did of that and x-men). and just wait he'll do a year at marvel, take his huge check, cash it in, and say f*ck off to all of us who supported his stupid a$$. WASHED UP.
i gotta tell u that this jason guy is rhight joe madureira is a great artist no dout but he is and as a fan of his ' he was a great 2 me.
and again i dont say i dont think hes stilll a great artist but he is more washed up and a disapointment than a great artist for me that it.
and soory 4 my english it just that i from israel so i hop u all understand what i said
doubt* i know as i were saying i am from israel :]
Kinda funny you hate the guy so much but you can't stay off the site for some reason. I understand that people are mad that he didn't finish BC, but like you said that was way back in the 90's...you're still mad 5 years later?! Mad! doesn't owe you anything...it was a comic book..say it with me..comic book. You paid 2$ for something and what you own the rights now. How do you act towards your friends if they make a mistake to you..you'll just hate them for the rest of your life? Mad's mistake wasn't even one that even effected your life, he didn't kill someone you know or harm you. If you don't like him so much just move on..why keep trolling a site just starting stuff about something you don't even like.
He's washed up..well that's your opinion and that's fine but you got to be kidding me if you think the new art he is doing isn't as good or better than the BC stuff.
So if you still don't like him fine whatever but can you stop please..you don't like what Mad! did to you...but you don't mind coming here and ruining something I spent a lot of time working on and I know for sure I haven't done anything to you. I don't see why you want to take it out on someone that didn't even do anything. If you don't like me just because, fine but I don't see why it's so hard to just look at the site hate it and move a long.
and hk-king that's fine you agree with Jason, but that isn't the reason I have a problem with what he's saying. I removed his posts because he was using massively offensive language..and not stuff just directed at Mad! but toward people that enjoy the site that have absolutely nothing to do with why he doesn't like Mad!
i allso agree with u Nathen and i think u did a great job on this site :] and as u can see i didnt use any offensive language as u can see and i agree that he is still (mad) one of the best i just say that as an artist to his fan he was a disapointment that all . hop i ddint hert anyone it just what i think about joe.
hope* and there is one extra " as u can see" :]
Naten's the best! YAY!! Take your hatred elsewhere.
On another note, what if I've obtained better gallery images and would like to send them to you? I have some nicer Gekido ads without all the text. Just the art which looks nicer. Let me know how to get it to you!
obviously you dont get the freakin point people. THIS IS A WEBSITE DEDICATED TO MAD! he hasnt produced anything in over a half decade besides concept art and character designs!!!! obviously your a genious Nathen, i mean how could you possibly know that MAD didnt kill my family and affect my life so negatively? i dont hate MAD, just the fact that you have this sick hard-on for the guy and he took my 2$, your 2$, and everyone else's money in this room, got rich, and this essentially said f**k off to YOU and ME and EVERYONE else in this post, and yet like MAD groupies you all drool over his washed up a$$. CONCEPT ART and CHARACTER DESIGNS dont mean s**t if they aren't apart of a monthly book. and if you think my language is "massively offensive" then you must have never heard a rap lyric in your life. get one dude. CONCEPT ART and CHARACTER DESIGNS....need i say more? oh yeah, MAD CAN SUCK THE A$$ END OF A DOLPHIN.
oh yeah, for "yes!" who posted his thoughts, kiss my black a$$, who was talkin to you?
Jason,
You know people would accept and respect your opinion more if you didn't come off as a person posting offensive, trollish remarks.
I mean WTF?!?!?! Do you have anything else better to do than to post inane diatribes like what you're doing right now. Who cares whether or not you're angry at Madureira and you think he screwed you over or whatever. But it's no reason whatsoever to make some middleschoolish insults to those who do like Madureira's art.
If you hate this site so much why dont u stop coming here. Are you on some kind of crusade to convert those who like Mad's art or something?
first off, <3 to MaD! the guy is an art genius. And Nathen, this site is sick ass. Really helped me to appreciate MaD's art. Thank you.
secondly, jason!..ROFL. You're fucked up. Honestly, you sound like that retarded kid in the schoolyard growing up. That kid never made sense. But damn, trolling a site dedicated to a guy who you think, didn't give you what you wanted in life. Are you retarded? Mad doesn't owe you shit. Get the fuck off him and move on. Better yet, kill yourself. You've obviously got nothing else to do in life, degrading someone else's work with your filth.
MaD's been working since he was 16. Yah, he's got money, b/c he's too far fucking talented for you to understand. Bet at 16, you were too high to remember how much of a sorry ass loser you are. Anothing thing, stop acting like some tough shit. Yah, growing up in that middle class suburb, collecting comic books, and buying XL jeans makes you some "thug". Ya ok, crackie. Get a skill or die, who the hell cares. Just get off this site, kid. LOL.
Haha! I think this Jason dude's got an extra chromosome or he's trolling, maybe both.
Great site Nathen!! This loser's obviously very bored.
Is there any word on when Ultimates v3 is coming out yet? Going to start reading the first 2 volumes this week.
HEY EVERYONE LETS SING ALONG, fuck you all, fuck you all, fuck you all, you can go to hell, fuck you all, fuck you all, go to hell, (yeah!) go to hell....GOOOO.....TOOOOOO....HELLLL....
oh and DAVE, JASON CALM DOWN MAN, ROFLLL, and DPT, you guys can kiss the back of my nut sack. and Nathen, i respect you and your work, but your sites still stupid. i tell you what, get MAD to do an interview or a podcast and post it here and ill stop ripping your lame-ass site.
I understand that you might feel frustrated with Mad, he did just kinda leave BattleChasers up in the air, that kinda ticks me off too. But you have to understand that concept work for videogames probably pays a whole lot more than comics, and he's got a family to feed. I think comics around the time he left werent doing so good, but its better now so maybe we'll see more consistant stuff from him.
As far as Nathen's site, I think its great that he's keeping it up, and there's nothing wrong with being a Joe Mad fan. You dont like Joe Mad anymore, that's cool, but dont rip into people who still do, and dont rip into Nathen's site. This is his effort, time and dedication, I doubt you would appreciate if someone did it to you, so just be cool man.
That's right jason. Stop gettin up in everyone's grill! Go listen to rap and preach your curse word crap to someone who cares.
Nathen has a wicked site! MAD's concept art is the best I've seen of his work in ages. Video game concept art pays thrice that of any top comic producer. So lay off. Of course you're probably getting a huge bone right now from all the people giving you the attention you're craving but that's your thing. It's a MAD FAN site. You're no fan so beat it.
It is indeed a Mad Fan Site. Vincent Price hasn't put anyting out in years, but I bet he's got fans (in spite of his death). Same could easily said about John Carpenter, who's had several years of hiatus, but has a legion of loyal fans. This site is simply a dedication to the fans of Mad's work. Hell, I'd regularly visit a Neal Adams Fan site, even though he doesn't work much anymore. Just because they aren't so "current" doesn't mean they can't have fans. That kind of lame ass thinking is for the MTV crowd.
So you would stop ripping on the site if Mad! did an interview or a Podcast..wtf? wouldn't you want to see more art since that's what your complaining about? and if you respect me and the work I'm doing, what part of the site do you hate then? Even you hate Mad! I have a pretty good links page with tons of stuff to check out.
jason go kill yourself and youfat mom you dick face.you'r a gay and u want mad so bad or what???@!!@ mad dont to fuck u anymore so you'r sorry ass fell angry?!@! i just can say fuck you jason, you can go to hell, fuck you jason and you'r fucked up mom.
Nathen i love you you are wonderful keep the good job :] :] :]
want to*
lets not provoke him anymore, he's entitled to his opinion and as long as he doesnt come here and rip into us that's fine. But that aint goin' to happen if we keep calling him names. Let's just move on.
Gentleman please.... has a point. At this point it's like proding a dead mule.
I'm not sure what you're trying to acheive by imitating me, except prove to everyone that you're in need of two things: therapy and a dictionary. At least you could've spent the extra one minute out of your dull life to look up some descent insults. Stop disgracing yourself and the english language, please.
um "Gentlemen Please" the reason why people are being so angry is because his first remarks that were deleted, I wished I had left them now, weren't opinions they were just offensive remarks...really offensive. "roflll" remarks are tame to what Jason said and no one said anything to Jason he just started saying stuff out of the blue.
Do you enjoy the site at all? cause if so his remarks were at you and everyone here that does and did you do anything to him? probably not...so not sure why you would want stick up for someone that calls you super offensive things and no I'm not going to repeat what he said..some people might come here and read it and would still find it offensive even if I just quoted him.
so fuck off, there is a copy cat in here :::]

The term hemorrhoids refers to a condition in which the veins around the anus or lower rectum are swollen and inflamed.
Hemorrhoids may result from straining to move stool. Other contributing factors include pregnancy, aging, chronic constipation or diarrhea, and anal intercourse.
