Game Design and Art

I found a few articles on Gamasutra that talk about the role of art, and artists in games. I thought they were worth sharing. One is specifically about the different types of art style a game can have. Since we are at that stage I thought I would share them.

I also thought I would pop up a few images from the Descent games to help people see what games we are drawing inspiration from.  I'm sure there are better screens out there, but these show some of the universe that the idea is coming from. Perhaps it can give us a bit of an idea as to where we want to take the art style and gameplay.
