Kim Asendorf is an amazingly talented conceptual and digital artist. This series of pixel sorted images take digitize landscape photographs and, I’m assuming using specialized software, sorts the pixels. The final image is taken by the artist at some point during (maybe in the middle of) the process. To see how this works, you can check out an animated GIF of the process here. See 9 more of these after the cut.

Some fantastic comic art from Serbian-born and Germany-based illustrator Marko Djurdjevic (who is, thankfully, doing covers for Marvel these days.) You’d never guess that he’s only 31. Most of these are copyrighted by Marvel. If you like his work, you can also find more of it on marvel.com and in the Marvel Wikia.

To call her work ‘futuristic’ just doesn’t do it justice. More below the cut.

Francesco Sambo is a digital artist based in Mestre, Italy. I stumbled across his work about a week ago and was blow away by the image above so I felt obliged to share. You can see more of his work at his extensive profile on Behance right here.

This series, called Bestiario, consists of 9 human/animal hybrids created by Sambo, each based on a different species of animal/reptile/insect. You’ll find 9 more of these sublime oddities after the cut.

I came across the work of San Francisco illustrator / concept artist Wesley Burt last night and felt compelled to share. He has a pretty badass blog which can be found at http://wesley-burt.blogspot.com/ as well as a nice portfolio at wesleyburt.com.

Russian artists, on the whole, really have the idea of futurism down and when they run with it, they really run with it. Vladimir Shelest’s work is primarily as an art director and digital artist; however, these recent digital illustrations he’s done leave me wanting more. I was kinda amazed to also see his concept trailer for Tron 3.0:Invasion posted on Vimeo (it’s a concept piece, only and while it’s pretty great, there are currently no plans for a Tron 3.0…currently, at least.)

Check out the trailer and a bunch of his stuff after the break.
Also, check out his website at www.e-sh.ru. Warning: It’s pretty bandwidth intensive.

I’m convinced that 33-year-old concept artist and designer Alexander Preuss isn’t really from Germany. I think he’s from another planet. Preuss’ futuristic concept designs and matte paintings depict a world that exists in the distant future. While he uses, primarily, CG to do his work, he also utilizes traditional techniques to finish them out and give them a very polished look. I wouldn’t mind spending a day inside his creative mind, that’s for sure! You can see more of his work on his site, here and here, and after the cut.

If you have John Williams’ soundtrack to Close Encounters of The Third Kind, it goes well with this stuff…just sayin’.
