The Art Of Prometheus

(Via)

In honor of the release of Ridley Scott's long anticipated return to the ailing Aliens franchise, I wanted to dedicate this Friday to honoring all the artists and artisans that helped bring the world of Prometheus to life. From concept artists to visual effects sculptors, they definitely accomplished the goal of creating a visually stunning film with some of the best 3D work I've ever seen in theaters.

Despite reviews being mixed, I'd like to remind everyone that the original Alien received the same mixed reception upon its release in 1979 for reasons similar to Prometheus. So if you've been relying on your polar opinion friends to determine whether or not to check it out, let us recommend you ignore those guys and give yourself a chance to experience this film and make your own conclusions. Either way, we've compiled a ton of posts and art to give you a well rounded idea of just how much care and attention went into the visual development aspect of this film. This post will mainly feature the work of Ben Procter, David Levy and Carlos Huante (Who did the majority of the work). Check out a ton more art by these guys after the break, and don't forget to check out our other Prometheus related posts from today!
