A small batch of Concept art from the newly announced Win8 game.

I gotta say, I’m really liking this concept art. Of course, I tend to like concept art to begin with as I appreciate the process of bringing something from concept to completion.

In particular I like the “Base Overrun” pic. I think it’s just something about seeing a heavily fortified UNSC base, rather than the artistic quality. For artistic value, I like the Draetheus V piece. I has me wondering why the planet is so close to another one that looks “broken.” Again, the contrast of light and dark between the planets as well as the space background itself is striking. I’d like to know who did that piece of art.
