When it comes to concepts, designing and artwork there is one industry that you can always expect to see some really cool stuff from and that industry is the gaming industry.

Below are some gaming concepts that came from Abduzeedo who found them on on ConceptArt.org and DeviantART, these are some truly awesome pieces, from games such as Assassin’s Creed to Rise of Nations: Rise of Legends.

Growing up one of the things I use to love doing was looking at book covers. Book covers (like a website) had to tell a story and only had seconds to do it.
Years later it seems that I am still looking at the book covers but in a different way.

It’s now art and it’s telling a story and I not only want to see the book cover but I want to see what else the artist behind the book cover has done.

Mike Nash is one of those artists that interest me. Mike has many years experience in art and design, and supplies unique artwork to clients throughout the world for use in books, films, games and theatre.

He has worked in a variety of art styles and is experienced in pencil drawn designs, model making, photography, animation and digital painting.
He has a passion for detail and enjoys capturing texture, contrast and realistic lighting effects. Despite his interest in fictitious subjects he harnesses a sense of realism, narrative and history within his designs. As a result his work balances on the divide between plausibility and fantasy.
