Introduction
The best concept art stems from the illuminated imaginations of Game Designers, who can bring a blank canvas to life with their ideas. Often concept art isn’t released until after a game is out as it would either color players’ perceptions of the game or simply be a massive spoiler. Some concept art is made even when a game isn’t – it’s just left there in limbo as an idea of what might have been.
Limiting this list to just 10 wasn’t easy as there is so much brilliant concept artwork around. Honorable mentions go to The Witcher 3, Sunset Riders, Mirror’s Edge 2, Tomb Raider… the list goes on.

The hand-painted style is reminiscent of the Broken Sword series. I particularly love this image of the floating city of Columbia, which features an optimistic nuclear family surrounded by giant trumpeting angels. The game’s ironic imagery has been so effective that the American Tea Party movement have used it as part of their online propaganda.
