Marc Laidlaw's Instagram story confirming the passing of Antonov

Man, I'm still on shock. I wasn't expecting to start my day with this news. he was one of my favorite Artist and Art Director from the Videogame Industry. ever since I played Half-Life 2 I fell in love with his architectural, urbanistic, and machinery. love that was solidify with his work on the Dishonored series as well aiding in other Bethesda games like Doom (2016) and Wolfenstein: The New Order (2014).

We still don't have details about his passing, but I guess is because to keep his personal life private and Im guessing that because his private life is a mystery and if that's the case. I'm fine with that.

Truly a man with talent, what a shame we didn't got at least an art book of his original works beyond one illustrated book, The Story of the Colony (2011).

And now, a moment to appreciate his work.
