ReplyDeleteAwesome stuff Aaron!
ReplyDeleteThe motherdump to end all dumps.
ReplyDeleteso so so fresh.
Oh man... these are excellent! So the artbook only scratched the surface, huh?
ReplyDeleteWhat i'm enjoying more in new movies is seeing a lot more of the concept artists styles and raw ideas coming through the final product, and i saw a lot what i'm finding out today ways your work in Elysium last night. Which was great, btw, both the art and the movie.
ReplyDeleteMan your work is next level. I shouldnt have bought the art book, all I needed was this post. Soooo good
ReplyDeleteWhat Vaughan said :)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely amazing!
Thanks for sharing. Hope you are well mate!
oh dude this stuff is so crazy! outstanding concept art.
ReplyDeleteYeeah!
ReplyDeleteOutstanding stuff. I am in awe of the way your mind works.
ReplyDeleteVery cool and inspiring, thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHoly shit dude... this is unreal. Absolutely spectacular. The film already looked great, but with some of these designs it could've looked even better.
ReplyDeleteI wish Copley's character had the haircut that he has in this concept art instead.
I love that cloak style. Wish that was used in the film as well.
Man, some of these designs are just straight up bizarre (and I mean that in the most complimentary way possible). I kinda wish some of these other designs would've made it in. Definitely would have made the film look uniquer.
Also, I love how operator a lot of these styles are. You better be contributing to Chappie! I will be extremely disappointed if you and Pearce aren't apart of the art team for that flick. You guys are just sick.
Thank you for sharing your amazing art Aaron! :)
ReplyDeletesome of your other designs are way cooler than what got into the film. But I can see why Neil went they way he did. Love the Ion wolf, I'm writing a story about organic machines as the next genus.
ReplyDeleteEnergising and superb... thanks for pulling back the curtain.
ReplyDeletewow
ReplyDeleteStunning work !
ReplyDeleteWow, these are amazing!
ReplyDeleteFantastic work,,,,brilliantly executed ,,,,,Behind each and every piece there's lots of research ,,,,amazing concepts !!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteIs that Kruger character in the actual film? Haven't seen it yet.
ReplyDeleteFantastic treat ! Thank you !
ReplyDeleteso, seems you had fun!
ReplyDeleteFantastic! I'm very excited there works.
ReplyDeletecan't wait for "Ion Wolf: Full Moon"
ReplyDeleteExcellent +++
ReplyDeleteridiculously AWESOME!!
ReplyDeleteTruly awesome/original design work Aaron! You must be a fan of Metal Gear?
ReplyDeleteWow, this post is so great it makes me slightly less enthusiastic about the artbook...you need an exclusive artbook for all this amazing work...
ReplyDeleteSome of the robocops are definitely more eerie than the movie one's, the type with a faux human mask remind me of THX 1138...In fact the movie itself reminded me in many ways of Lucas' classic, especially the darkly ironic aspect of humans making robots which then oppress them.
Outstanding.
Cheers!
ReplyDeleteWas a lot of fun to create these. There's lots of ideas in there I've been developing personally for ages, especially the bio tech and military stuff.
Hopefully you'll all get to see the incredible work by Leri Greer and Christian Pearce as well. Those two did some truly fantastic stuff!
your artwork is stunning and brilliant, Aaron Beck!
Deletenow my arse is sore.... thanks a bunch
ReplyDeleteGoing freaking ecstatic, I was waiting so long for this concept art to be cleared. Seriously man, you did some bitchin' fucking work on Elysium.
ReplyDeleteTHESE ARE ALL GREAT MAN! VERY INSPIRING!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing. I enjoyed. :)
ReplyDeleteMagnifique! Quel boulot! Bravo et merci.
ReplyDeleteDAAAAAAAAMN SON!!! WATCH YOUR BACK — The way you're killin' it; someone is bound to call the POLICE... and there's not enough money in the world to cover THAT bail... so if you keep this up, you're on your own. Peace.

ReplyDeleteITS GREAT....
ReplyDeleteI will be digesting this incredible material for a quite a while. But this doesn't get you off the hook for that detailed, multi-view, in-depth examination of a robot soldier you promised. And for the record, despite the brilliance of several of the robot soldier/police concepts, I still say your "Robot with Laser" concept is your best design. I say this while also taking into account that some of the robot arm designs above on this post seems to be slightly more advanced than your robot with laser design in certain specific ways. I look forward to more of your great work Aaron.
ReplyDeleteAmazing work!! I gotta say, I'm a bit disappointed more of these weren't included in the Art of book :(
ReplyDeleteOutstanding work! Great concepts! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteKick-ass stuff as always bro. Like the guys here say, your style is totally next level - seemingly bizarre forms that turn out to be totally plausible and truly the face of future tech.
ReplyDeleteThe ION WOLF stuff is real interesting - any more details on the expanding piggyback cartridge setup?
Your work is inspirational!
ReplyDeleteWAIT! You took down the smart cloak pic along with the close up of the face of the police robot. Why???
ReplyDeleteGreat designs man! No offense dude But last time I checked you had a lot more cool robot designs. Will we get to see them again??? :(
ReplyDeleteSome legendary work here!! :)
