The illustrators from The Witcher 3 are also doing Torment: Tides of Numenera

The guy that illustrated videos for Torment: Tides of Numenera? Yeah, he's my favorite illustrator right now. His name is Grzesiek Przybys. If you, too, were from Wroclaw, Poland, then you might be able to pronounce his name. But I cannot.

Przybys, along with his brother, founded Division48, an animation, concept art, and illustration studio. They worked on the Might and Magic X Legacy intro, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt recap video, and, yes, the Torment: Tides of Numenera story trailer. I speculated these all came from the same guy—or at least the same animation studio. They're some of the finest examples of living 2D animation I've seen in all video gaming. While done in a different style, Division48 also did the remarkable intro to Dying Light.

Przybyz (maybe it's pronounced something like "precipice"?) recently published some stills from his most recent work in Tides of Numenera. It's good stuff. Look over more of his work at ArtStation. I only wish I'd run across these videos in-game as I review Tides of Numenera. I hope they're in there.

Torment: Tides of Numenera launches on February 28 for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. Look for our review that day.
