Does anyone know if there is going to be an "Art of" style book for HL2? Ive seen some bits and pieces of the concept art and it looks totally schweeet... <3

*bump*

noone knows anything about this?
does anyone know who the concept artists are/were for HL2? Maybe someone has some links for me?? :[

try this guy ... he works for valve Dhabih Eng (http://www.sijun.com/) .. he doesn't seem to have much on his site but I know that he is a lead artist for Valve Software. Maybe look around for his stuff.

valve's art director is viktor antonov, he's responsible for a lot of the rad vistas. dhabih's an awesome texture artist for mostly characters, and does a lot of the effects [water, glows, sprites etc] he also did the images on a lot of the ads like this one: http://hl2.ogaming.com/content/images/gallery/albums/concept/hl2_concept_16.sized.jpg !

viktor's site: www.vulkanbros.com

just in case anyone else is looking for an answer to this, heres an interview with the writer of a "Making of HL2" type book, apparently, there will be just under 1000 images in it.
