ImagineFX August 2025 Issue 254
Published 3rd June This month our focus is on the world of video games, with features, training and more for you to get stuck into as you while away the long summer evenings, learning some new skills or discovering the latest interesting projects and art. We’re led by the hellish Doom: The Dark Ages image on our cover with a full tutorial from artist Thomas Elliott. For more insight on game art, head to our features on how atmospheric indie game worlds are born, and a look at the ins and outs of crafting new concepts. For the animation fans among you, check out our feature on the second season of Arcane to discover how the team behind the Netflix hit pushed the show’s finale to new heights. There’s more workshops too, with a look at painting personality into characters and drawing deadly dinos with a flash of colour. I’ve recently made the move to a motorised sit and stand desk and really felt the benefits. Read my findings, along with more of the latest gear, in our review section.
