Concept Art Thread!

I had never bought anything from www.gog.com before, but I'd heard great things about it from my friends. I eventually caved in and popped over there and bought Outcast which is a 1999 action adventure game/third person shooter. Apparently it's brilliant and some people consider it one of the greatest games of all time. Now, the purchase went incredibly smoothly and sign up took me under a minute. The actual purchase took under 20 seconds and the site was easy to navigate and I find my download instantly. 
 
Anyway, I'm not here to talk about the actual service. I had no idea that you got a bunch of bonus content for that small amount of money! I payed $5.99 for the game Outcast and got a load of concept art, the manual, the soundtrack, a making of video and an out takes video. Brilliant.  Check out some of this concept art though! 
 

I'm not really into art, but those are pretty cool. 

A personal favourite. I was fascinated by Mantis when I played the game.

Good stuff!

I love concept art. If I would be an artist, I would focus on concept. There's just something epic about them...

Well, speaking of GOG, that's where I got Psychonauts. Here's some concept art from the game by Peter Chan:

I've always loved Uncharted's concept art. It really closely mirrors the final look of the game. These are from Uncharted 2:

A bunch of new Deus Ex Human Revolution Concepts were released today. 
 

I remember Outcast having a really distinct art-style. They are remaking the game using CryEngine (not officially, it's a mod). Look it up on Moddb if you're interested.

I loved all of the concept art for fallout 3 that came with the collectors edition, it really sold me on the themes and tone of the game. Concept art in general is awesome.
 

Outcast, while a fun game with some great depth to the story and environment, is possibly one of them messiest games I've ever seen. It's not the world that's bad, it's great, it's just the Voxel Engine that they use that makes your eyes bleed. Great game with a great soundtrack though.
