Very atmospheric. Love the details!

Two more additions to the series:


Travel between levels and zones of the city is restricted and security check is required. Since every criminal offense is registered in a police database, checkpoints are pretty efficient way to keep offenders confined to their respective zones. If you try some funny stuff, the sentry-bot will take care of you, so to speak.


Another mechanical asset - a flying drone, set to control and gather data from certain levels, where the regular police is either too busy or too afraid to visit. Basically, it's a portable camcorder/scanner although it has some basic weaponry in case it needs to 'restore order' or fight its way through a riot.

Cheers.

those are sick man!!!
love the yellow contrast on the first
good stuff!

[Wintermute]

The huge cityscape on the first page looks Awesome! If I even tried to work that on my computer I think it would just melt from over heating, lol.

Great concepts!

[anendlessvoyager]

Awesome, man!
You really maintain a scene here. You do a good job of keeping all the pieces together.

Keep it up!

[adamkuczek]

Thanks guys, glad you like these. Two more:

[adamkuczek]

Two more, together with the environment from the previous post, they all belong to one mini-series about an alien artifact discovered on a distant planet. Two vehicle designs will follow.

[adamkuczek]

A couple of vehicles, one armored carrier, one very mobile buggy.

Series of concepts for my personal project called 'Absolutum'. The story takes place in a futuristic fantasy-like kingdom in totalitarian setting. The world, full of bio-engineering, meta-alchemy and psionics is ruled by the Empress, a quasi-immortal with powerful psychic powers thanks to her longevity and numerous mutations. The magical substance called Arcalum is the base of her power. Arcalum is used to run machinery and weaponry developed by royal meta-alchemists as well as a high-energy fuel source used in air-frigates. The rule of the Empress is eternal and unthreatened. Or so it seems.

Capital city
The city, with the main 'stem' divided into dozens of levels, is built among the remnants of giant nests of ancient dragon-like creatures, extinguished many eons ago. The lining of their partially preserved cocoons was used by the first meta-alchemists to create original supply of Arcalum.



Throne room
The throne room of the Empress. Several powerful psionics feed the 'psi' pool surrounding the throne. Thanks to the constant energy flow, the Empress can 'monitor' the thoughts of every single citizen in the kingdom, efficiently preventing any resistance groups from being formed. It also allows her to find a potential candidates for her troops. Psionic energy can also be utilized for attack/defense, though apart from psionics and Executioners, it's forbidden to be used by ordinary people.



Hatchery
Although it was a daunting task, the Empress and meta-alchemists discovered how to artificially breed prestoses, using a variety of substances and quasi- magical machinery to create and keep hatchlings alive. Although such prestoses are much smaller than the ancient ones and don't live long, their bodies still produce a protective lining inside of cocoons that is processed into the precious Arcalum. Entire hatchery is controlled by the Empress and can only be accessed by trusted servants, psionics and meta-alchemists.



Air-frigates
Flying ships powered partially with Arcalum are the main royal vehicles, capable of transporting goods, orb from the Outer Lands' mines or soldiers. There are three types of Frigates - War Frigate, Transport Frigate and Scout vehicles. Basically, powerful turbines provide a push while the strong wings, controlled bio-mechanically, keep the frigate in the air and at the correct altitude.



Nomadic army
United nomad tribes before the attack on the capital in the climax of the story. Although technologically outmatched by the Empress, nomads are able to equal the terms of engagement. Large Monsoons, serpent-like creatures from the far reaches of the Outer Lands, are armored and used both, as a troops transportation and a weapon. Though they are pretty slow and are not particularly dangerous by themselves (apart from their sheer size), augmented with the hoover-engines, they can be used very efficiently as a 'living hovercrafts' and rams. Floating above the ground allows nomads to steer them over sharp rocky terrains that normally keep Monsoons at bay.

Smaller units, called Zephyrs, are used typically for combat. These are fully mechanical, usually composed from elements coming from Desert Trains and shot down Frigates.

You sure are really talented as a concept artist.

[Hairik]

wow your Robot work are amazing !

[adamkuczek]

Some contemporary scenes, to counter-balance sci-fi stuff. More to come.


1. Robbed bank vault. Someone couldn't wait till Monday morning's bank opening to withdraw?


2. Cozy bar/pub where you can enjoy a drink or two.


3. "He was always such a nice, quiet neighbor..."


4. Old subway station


5. Backstreet club entrance


6. Underground laboratory or perhaps a hidden resistance HQ?

'Reload' is a personal project, a visual development of a post-apocalyptic sci-fi story, suitable for FPS or an action movie. If you are interested and to better understand the concepts, have a look at Timeline of Events and Plot Summary on my blog: http://adamkuczek.blogspot.com/2012/...roduction.html


The main protagonist, a would-be 'Death Runner', currently AWOL, Jim Dover in action.


A line-up of knows mutants, together with code names given by the Empire: Scout, Pit-bull, Berserker, Reaper, Troopers, Lich and Necros.


The far-most outpost of the Empire, East-9, situated on the eastern border of Neo-Berlin. A new delivery of war prisoners is about to arrive. The outpost is heavily fortified, with thick outer walls and almost fully mechanized, so the soldiers don't have to go out too often. Flying surveillance cameras patrol the grounds 24/7. The main purpose of East-9 is to send human transports into the infected zone using UAV (Unmanned Armored Vehicle), controlled remotely from the outpost.


Time to suit up. Nothing like borrowing a prototype of PowerSuit and taking it for a test drive. Perhaps as a stowaway in UAV?


Fortified wall, called by Death Runners 'New Berlin Wall', separates the wasteland and ruins of the outskirts from the central part of Neo-Berlin under control of the mutants. Not exactly a place for holidays. That's UAV's final stop, if it's not destroyed earlier by some rogue mutant packs. Once unloaded, most UAVs end up in the moss surrounding the wall or are being used for augmenting the wall itself.


Sometimes things just go bad. There is no shame in running your ass off, when you're about to get fried if a gang of Berserkers won't get you first.


Battle mech "Hammerdown" driven by Lich. Not exactly a pleasant combination. Avoid at all costs. In the event of meeting - destroy immediately, for example with 60mm 'Firestorm' machine gun from elevated position. It case of getting noticed... oh, well.


Occasionally, you have to set a trap and get on top of things to clearly state your intentions, like here, with T-30 'Hellraiser' gun with armor piercing bullets. Reapers tend to have thick skulls, so it's better to be safe than sorry. Watch your head!

Stay alive... It's not over yet...

Some of the concepts I prepared while working with Unit 9 on an interactive website Find your way to Oz. The website, which promotes the new Disney movie, uses new capabilities of HTML5 and Google Chrome. Visitors can navigate around the environment, try various attractions and eventually take an (almost fatal) balloon trip.

Maaaaaan, this is great!! I realy enjoy it here! Keep posting - i would love to see more...
Your city-environments ans vehicles are awesome!
