Slashdot Mirror

Dude name Andrew Jones did the concept art work for the two Prime games.
I got a chance to see some of his early work for the series before Prime2 came out and Jones depcited Samus in a really interesting way. Some shots had her in human form with the suit super-imposed over. He depcited her as battle torn, with short dirty hair, carbon residue from countless battles caked on but with fierce eyes. Cool stuff.

Can't seem to find any links, although, here are some to Jones' other stuff.
Theres a pic of concept cover art for Prime2 in the second link

They're not the only ones doing SIGGRAPH coverage.

CG Networks has their coverage (day 1, day 2).

CG Networks is also noteworthy because it's part of Ballistic Media, the company that brings you fine digital art like EXPOSÉ, paired up with discreet to do a combined art book called Elemental, and is bringing out d'artiste , a tutorial book on digital painting.

The books are all available at the SIGGRAPH expo - if you can't get there, you'll have to get them ordered ordered on the website and wait a few weeks for shipping :)

And to get it clear, yes, I work for them - but it's a bloody fantastic job. Especially the part where I'm reading Slashdot because my boss is in LA ;-)
