Cool Art: New Concept Art From 'Dragon Age: Inquisition' by Matt Rhodes

Matt Rhodes has revealed two new concept art images for Bioware's upcoming 'Dragon Age: Inquisition'. And whilst they don't really give too much away about the game, they do give you a look at the stunning scenery of the world of 'Dragon Age'!

"The ultimate hope for a concept artist is for the final in-game art to surpass its concept art. That has definitely the case with this image. Come Inquisition’s release, I think everyone will agree that the in-game version makes this image look restrained and quaint." - Matt Rhodes
