Destiny: trailer and art

Following up to their successful Halo franchise, games developer Bungie will set to release their next big title Destiny. Much like Halo the game is set in a science fictional world, it'll be a first person shooter with role playing element to it. However there's much more to the game that set it apart from the traditional MMO (Massively multiplayer online game) as Bungie claimed. We'll have to wait for the game to see what fresh ideas it'll incorporate. Unlike Halo players will get to choose to play as three different races; Humans, Awoken, and Exo.

The game features a huge mysterious sphere called the Traveler floating above the earth's atmosphere.

Just as with the Halo games the graphics and artworks of Destiny are just as epic. Just check out the video below for information about the concept art for the game:



There's no official release date, but we'll be expecting it around early 2014. It'll be available on the Playstation 3 & 4 and the XBOX 360 & One

Syd Mead's Sentury II

The long awaited book from the renown artist/conceptual designer Syd Mead who is famed for working on films such as Blade Runner, Star Trek and Tron. It's a must for any science fiction fans who wants to delve into Mead's visual of the future world. His distinctive artworks was very innovative at the time and have influenced many artists till this day. Here's a little preview of the book:

Robert Chang

Robert Chang is a renown concept artist in the industry. One of his painting 'Melancholic Princess' has been circulating the internet forums and chatrooms often associated with some ridiculous urban legend like something horrible will happen if you stare at the girl's eyes in the picture. Really it was just one of many Chang's digital painting, nothing to do with the urban legend of course. Though the picture does give off a feel of eeriness.

Andrew Ley: finished concepts

Andrew Ley is a British concept artist at it's truest. Looking at his designs you can feel his not just merely created visual concepts but more like products that can be purchased in the real world or sometimes in the future. I also like how he present his works in the form of advertisements.

Joao Ruas

Joao Ruas is definitely one intriguing artist. His artworks are quite bizarre and surreal, not the usual stuff you would get here. I find the theme in his stuff to quite dark and almost have a Gothic touch to it.
