Cool concept art from former Midway artist photo

There's a lot of really cool concept art in the portfolio of artist Stephan Martiniere, who was formerly a creative visual director at Midway Chicago and now an art director at Id Software. There's a lot of great stuff on his site, including concept art for stages from Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe. The Bat Cave and the Fortress of Solitude are awesome. 

One of the most interesting pieces is the first, a piece of art titled Hero. According to GameSetWatch, this is from an unannounced/unreleased game titled Hero. It's only one piece of concept art, but it looks like they were working on something cool.

There's other pieces from book and film in Martiniere's portfolio. Enjoy.

It really grinds my gears when people disable the ability to save one of their images from their website to my PC.

If I want it that much, I can check the source code, or fucking print screen it. Why do you have to go out of your way to be a douchebag? I want to save your artwork because I like it! Not because I want to steal it. Ugh.

Concept art looks good. But I only looked at 3 images before I came across the aforementioned pet peeve.

He's also one of the best science-fiction / fantasy cover artists at work today.

If all internet art was this good, I don't think I'd be able to get off of it. I really like the stuff in his "New" gallery, and I really like how this guy can jump from elegant to cartoony to dark styles with seemingly little/few problems.

Also, Post-Apocalyptic with swords? Count me in.
