Cool art from Alex Chu
Hrm. Der Flatulator turned up some pretty cool bits of concept art I don’t think I’ve seen before on the blog of Alex Chu – Check out an early campaign scene on Reach, an imagining of Forge World, and a very green Reflection. In fact, going through his Environmental Concepts page, I haven’t seen MOST of this stuff! (This stuff has definitely been seen before by SOME; if you visit Forward Unto Dawn’s Concept Art gallery, most of these images are in there… but if I missed ’em, maybe you did too.)(Louis Wu 13:53:47 UTC)
