“The most unique and common forms of art”

Something is either unique, or it isn’t. Something can’t be the “most” unique. Also, how can something be unique and common?

the pirate ship is totally awesome.
and the rest, too.
nice work of art.

they’re so talented….

Riveting! Each picture produces a mood, perhaps even fear. The general impression is gloom and in some cases decay, and if that is what the artist(s?) had in mind, then “Mission Accomplished”.
The artists are to be congratulated.

I seriously doubt these were created with Photoshop. Maybe CorelDRAW or Adobe Illustrator was used, but it’s more likely to be Corel Painter?

Thanks for sharing the photos, though; they are excellent.

Amazing! Incredible the amount of detail they’ve used…

Wow, cool! Especialy like nr 12!

Wow, you have discovered cgsociety! What does these have to do with webdesign anyway? Concept Art is not only for video games you should know, product design, architecture design, and quite a few others are using conceptual design… Others that i don’t see here

I do art too :

superb

Great artists works. But I think the positive is missing

Wow, could you imagine living in the Waterfall Castle one? You’d go out to drink your morning coffee and… stare at the bottom of the ocean lol. Eek. Scary and awesome at the same time

Thanks for sharing!

Some of the pieces reminds me of scenes from World of Warcraft

I need to keep reminding myself that it does not take a couple of hours to create amazing intricate work of art – its amazing how people dream up these sort of landscapes.

awesome works. you should have provided credits for the artists and links to their websites. oh well; guess we’ll never know…

Really amazing collection. My favorite ist the “Waterfall Castle”

Well, i dont know most of these, but to give some credit, the rooftops are
taken from guild wars factions, copyright arenanet and ncsoft. guild wars also ahs other cool concept art, may be worth googling if you liked this

Spectacularly done but why is almost all of it so grim? Does it have to reflect a dismal world to be considered art? It’s like theatre..it’s a lot easier to bring people to tears than to laughter, to despair than joy. Not discounting the talent here, just find it sad that everyone’s view of the world of the future seems to be so ..well, grim.

Quite a collection here. I do agree that some looks like concept art from games but nevertheless they are very impressive.

Stunning. Ok, that’s enough – everybody, back to work! These designs dont draw themselves you know!

The composition on every piece is well thought out and executed extremely well. And, I agree with some of the other comments about the pieces being a bit dark or grim. I’m however, very impressed with the work and have forwarded the link to my daughter who attends a highly ranked art school for her thoughts.

great post! these are some seriously talented artists, great imagination

omg. totally blown away. breathless. it’s like being transported to another world.

wow these are amazing thanks for taking the time to show these on your blog.

Amazing art. Thanks for sharing these. It’s another world.

Brilliant.

Increíble!! Realmente me encantaron muchas de los diseños.

I dunno if I would really consider those ‘concept’ art, but I guess the word concept is pretty open. I usually think of things like ‘concept vehicles’ or ideas of something that could be built. These are definitely cool looking, but I think they could be categorized differently.

great stuff thank you! but you are missing my favourite artists Chris McGrath and Debi Hammack

http://www.christianmcgrath.com/

and

http://www.debihammack.com/

Now these are awesome.. too many good ones to (easily) choose a favorite from the list. Good compilation.

alot of these are scenes from Halo 3

beautiful artwork! I am amazed by the talent expressed in these beautiful concept pieces! keep up the beautiful work!

Truly amazing examples.

Wow! Simply amazing illustrations. Thanks

WOW! Really really really amazing arts!

Impressive stuff … possibly all from the same artist?

Awesome examples!
I love the artwork of Prasa, check him out http://prasa.deviantart.com/art/Forsaken-Fortress-Bridge-68982113

Great concept art

wowawiwa! ISA VAAARY NAAAAAAAICE! id love to be that good

Great stuff, what a great mind to visualise something like this.

Amazing work!!

i really liked the 2nd last pic.

impressive collection here. I am going to show this to my niece who goes to art school, and I believe she is studying concept art.

It is so cool.
Thank you very much,
tham tu

I bet all illustrations above are done by the hunky designers out there. Mostly shown were chaos and violence, but they’re all great work!

This is the best type of art i have ever seen.

Is any of this art from guild wars because that’s what it reminds me of.

I can’t help but place a few images from this site here – they are wonderful. This one looks like something out of the Myst series. Last one

Good collection! Thanks for post and share. Also you can find cheap & quality goods on sunnygain.com. Thanks a lot.

wow, amazing picture… great share
