Adam Adamowicz, one of the driving talents behind the art of Fallout 3 and Skyrim, has passed away.

Adamowicz, known best to gamers for his work with Bethesda as a concept artist on Fallout 3 and Skyrim, passed away on the 8th of February. While the announcement of his passing was a quiet one, his work won’t be forgotten.

Awesome-Robo posted a beautiful and touching farewell to Adamowicz, showcasing not only his work, but also his dedication and passion for the projects he undertook.

“Hearing him talk about how he approached visual design changed my mindset about how I approached concept art, it had a real effect on me,” the post reads. “Seriously, just sit back and imagine how much work it took one man to design a world as vast as Fallout 3 over the course of its development. For most artists in this industry that would seem like an impossible feat! Adam had something special going on, and was committed to the vision that everyone around him had at Bethesda.”

As an almost obsessive fan of Fallout 3, I’d like to take a moment to thank Adam for his work. The art of Fallout 3 was what made me fall in love with the entire brand all over again – it was something special. I recommend you read Awesome-Robo’s farewell post, as it’s indeed a fitting tribute.

Adamowicz will be sorely missed.
