I love the art from the covers of old Robert E Howard Conan Stories.

In all seriousness, I'm more into the 50's space age stuff.

I have a book (those cheap taschen paperbacks) consisting of 30's-50's conceptual illustrations of the future. It's wonderful and utterly naive stuff (i.e. people living in space cities, but still using operator to connect their calls).

Most of the stuff in this thread looks like concept art for videogames and films.

That sounds awesome. I love that sort of art.

This thread is the best thing that's happened to me this week.

alteredcourse · 12.09.2008, 11:35 PM

Same. I love, love the gunslinger picture. And pretty much every piece Ive never seen here.

Theres a lot of Robert E Howard inspired work isnt there?

Some of that stuff is lovely. There's definitely something to be said for the excitement of not knowing. Once man had actually landed on the moon, while one part of his imagination could explode, another inevitably had to close down.

There's definitely something to be said for ignorance, when it produces stuff like this:

The always delightful Syd Mead.

Didn't he do a lot of the designs for Blade Runner?

Yup. City scapes, vehicles, etc. The overall future look.

demonrail666 · 12.10.2008, 07:32 AM

In terms of film, i think my favourite designs were for 'Things to Come':

If those are real buildings, I want whomever designed them to build my house.
