Yesterday it was announced by Marc Laidlaw that Viktor Antonov, who directed the art style of Half-Life 2 in 1999-2005, has passed away I still remember looking at his artworks years ago thinking how awesome they were for the emotion and vibes they give, Antonov also worked on Dishonored and Wolfenstein: The New Order giving each of them a uniquely dark art style that is instantly recognisable, his influence on the design of games won't be forgotten Such a shame he passed,, too early aswell, much love and respect to not only him but his family and colleagues dealing with their loss

I've just learned today that Viktor Antonov, Half-Life 2's video game art director and concept artist, has passed away at the age of 53.

"In fact, within a city, there are 1,000 different cities that exist in the same physical space. It's fascinating."

In Doom 2016 (I've never played it and have no interest), he was the consultant. Rest in peace Viktor, Half-Life 2 is my favorite Half-Life an…
