Concept Art Thread
I'm always looking for great game artwork to browse through in my less inspired moments.
The links go to the artists' blog posts that also provide links for wallpaper-sized downloads of the images, where available. Cityscapes by Alex Chin Yu Chu Pics 2-3 were concepts for a cancelled Crystal Dynamics project called Downfall. More at: Visual Garble (Alex Chu's Blog) | Artist's Portfolio God of War III character concepts by Andy Park The quasi-lion and -panther look so lively and malicious, they practically spring out from the screen. Artist's blog | Andy Park on conceptartworld.com Sven Sauer: Perry Rhodan The second image (titled "Titan Museum") always reminds me a bit of Sartorius's tower in Zork Nemesis. No ice in this environment, though. Sven Sauer gallery - itsartmag.com |

Hard to come by concept art/fan art for
Shadow of the Colossus Probably because the game itself looks more lyrical than the drawings? Cover art from the Death Metal band Shadow of the Colossus, and custom box art by grant from vgboxart. Strongly inspired by the Criterion Eclipse... er, the Essence Collection Series. |

Uru concepts
by Stephan Martinière Concept paintings for the ages of Kadish Tolesa and Ahnonay (Path of the Shell) that stuck in my mind, but (until now) I couldn't find a high-res source for. More concepts on the artists' website. |

Sergey Musin, Finding Unknown Kadath This image is plastered over every wallpaper site in the internet. Turns out it is a "personal" project by Russian artist Sergey Musin, who writes: ...this idea was infused by novel H.P. Lovecraft "The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath" which one of my favourite. This story about the man who moved to Kadath City in the dream. Since I have no idea of this story, my first thought association wouldn't be Lovecraft, but rather a super-Potala the Dalai Lama could be proud of with a finely tuned atmosphere between romance and foreboding. There's a widescreen version available on the artist's website (above, the edges have been cut off) and various wallpaper sizes here. Another great landscape artist - perhaps a bit spookier - is Christer Wilbert ( gallery), whom I also found on cgsociety.org. Christer Wilbert: Plane of Gathering Christer Wilbert: We found the gate to hell Great imaginative landscape art also comes from Dylan Cole ( homepage), who did The Chronicles of Riddick, Tron and Avatar (unfortunately, without posting high res samples of his work) and Yanick Dusseault ( homepage | Star Wars matte paintings), who seems to have been involved in every major SFX project since the early 90's, including the Star Wars prequels and Lord of the Rings.
