Gears of War 3 concept art.

[hawkprey]

Hey Peeps.

I think its been about 6 years since I have posted on Polycount. Been busy concepting away here at Epic. Anyhoo, with the release of Gears 3 I thought I would post up a sampling of some stuff I did for game. Also added some stuff by my buddy Shane Pierce, the enviro concept guy here.

To see other Gears 3 stuff check my blog...

Man... insane, it's the minimum I can say. I'm a great fan of your concepts, and you still aren't disapointing me.

[darbeenbo]

All of it is great, but I'm really enjoying the gas barge. It's a god damn alien Hindenburg!

[adam]

Ah Jay, still a favourite of mine.

Any personal art from you these days?

[Rhoutermans]

[Sectaurs]

Awesome. Glad to see you posting work again!

[whats_true]

[Lobão]

I really have no words to say what i´m felling seeing this images.... S2

[d1ver]

Thanks for sharing, man! That's flippin' dope! Love to see concept artists utilizing 3d to their benefit and congrats on wrapping the trilogy, buds. :D

Cheers!

[HitmonInfinity]

I've always loved how resourceful the Locus are. Vehicles? We don't need no vehicles, just strap something on that giant bug over there.

[re.wind]

Ourse were called horses. ;)

I can't say much else about the concept art that hasn't been said.

p.s. When can we marvel at these scenes ingame on a pc? *wink*

[RazorBladder]

Wait, Hawkprey lives?

lol

[Illusive]

Gas barge is amazing!

[Lonewolf]

any chance to get higher res pics?

[rv_el]

So bad ass dude!!! Glad you posted your awesome stuff. Seriously guys for every image he posted he has like a truck load of other kick ass stuff. :). Some amazing amazing concepts that are not posted here. :)

[Rens]

awesome work man! :)

[kn0r]

Love the Loader, turned out great ingame.

Awesome stuff!

[gauss]

Hawkprey, it's a joy to see your work up on here. On a professional level, you helped show the way for a lot of concept artists about the value of doing 3d mockups --> paintovers, I still think that anyone not doing that is in the wrong industry. Super bonus that you got Shane's stuff up in the same post, too. Gears 3 is a visual feast, it goes without saying.


Don't be a stranger next game release :)

[InProgress]

I think I'm going to need more space on my disk :) Amazing work, Jay!

[Ovada]

O.O

[MrTwoVideoCards]

These concept art pieces are just bananas. Really love them. Any chance we'd be able to see concept pieces of maps?
