Yeah, Warhammer concept art is awesome.No wonder Bolt Thrower used a bunch of it for their cover arts.

Anyway.

HR Giger, the guy who did the original artwork for ALIEN, had some amazing concept art for DUNE:

HR Giger, the guy who did the original artwork for ALIEN, had some amazing concept art for DUNE:

I practically cried while watching Jodorowsky's Dune documentary, why God, why didn't it happen???

Pretty much complete Giger gallery with plenty of other Dune and Alien concept art as well.
http://art.vniz.net/en/giger/

http://i.imgur.com/9bAL1m4.jpg
I can't believe they threw out that cocoon scene from original Alien, would've been by far the creepiest part of the film on the first watching imo, this way I ended up watching it ten years later on YouTube...

Concept art by Giger for another film which never came to be, The Tourist.

There's also that video game, Dark Seed (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kgn-fhsvrmA), drawing a lot on Giger's work.
He was one sick motherfucker, God rest his soul!

I can see why. Dune itself is very controversial on some issues it raises, particularly nowadays. Jodorowsky was hellbent on portraying it the way it was written, the complete opposite of the 1984 adaptation.

As for Giger, the only other artist I know who came close is this Pole (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zdzis%C5%82aw_Beksi%C5%84ski).

I'd rep you twice if I could for Dark Seed. Got it along with The Legacy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Legacy:_Realm_of_Terror) when I was 13. Felt pretty weird learning some years later that Giger had his touch on it too.

@Storm... that stuff somewhat reminded me of the work of Zdislaw Beksinski, has a similar horrific, hellish and eerie look to it

Yeah, Beksinski is awesome!Yet another artists whose art went on to be used by numerous Metal bands for cover arts.

Illustrations for two books about Slavic/Serbian mythology, creepy stuff, especially soncidering it's supposedly aimed at younger "audience", so it's sort of a Stephen Gammell deal :D

The „Polish Gods” Project
* (short English description under each image is visable after enlargement)


What were the ancient Polish Gods like? What can we say about them? Surprisingly, we can say a lot. They still remain with us, undeterred, in numerous beliefs, customs, expressions, legends and unusual behaviours. This story, regardless of many odds, is only beginning.

The aim of the “Polish Gods” project is to recall and restore the image of Gods worshipped by old pre-Polish tribes.

The scope of the project is from the first Lechite traditions to their traces still present nowadays. What is worth underlining, these beliefs are unique, even in comparison with other Slavic peoples.

In Old-Polish sources these gods are always described as Polish, however, they are incessantly compared to other European gods, especially to ancient ones.

In Poland we can also find the echoes of other beliefs – Baltic, Nordic, Sarmatian and Celtic. These are not mere borrowings, their roots reach to archaic Indo-European communities, where a contact with Greek and Roman beliefs may be discerned. This specificity and universalism deserves attention. It is a part of our unjustly forgotten tradition.

Ambition by Polish director Tomek Bagiński

http://www.scifinow.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/poster_teaser.jpg

'Ambition' is a collaborative project of ESA and Platige Image. Directed by Tomek Bagiński and starring Aiden Gillen (Game of Thrones) and Aisling Franciosi (The Fall), it was shot on location in Iceland, and screened on 24 October 2014 during the British Film Institute’s celebration of Sci-Fi: Days of Fear and Wonder, at the Southbank, London.

Imagine: with a wasteland as their canvas, a Master and his young Apprentice set about turning rubble into planets and moons, asteroids and comets. They levitate the worlds above their heads, spinning them in orbit around their symbolic Sun.

First project of Tomek Bagiński - The Cathedral (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cathedral)

The Cathedral was nominated in 2002 for the Academy Award for Animated Short Film for the 75th Academy Awards.

Story: On a distant planet, a lone wanderer approaches the doors of a mysterious building which resembles a medieval cathedral. Lighting his way with a scant torch flame, he enters and walks along gigantic columns which seem alive. Upon reaching the nave, he stops above a precipice, and exactly then the sun rises, its light changing the pilgrim into another live column of this amazing temple...

...but Oscar for Best Animated Short Films in 2002 went to... The ChubbChubbs! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_ChubbChubbs!) :laugh:
