The quest to find this stuff was an absolute trip and occupied the majority of my summer. Expect a write-up on Auto Destruct sometime in the near future, I've got a bunch of stuff I'd like to show off! Here's hoping one of your finds the game as interesting as I did.

Keeping on with my latest thread, I will be sharing with you more video game related original art from my personal collection.

Today, 6 original character designs from the PS3 game entitled Heavenly Sword. They look absolutely fantastic. These are unique prints that were used during the developement of the game. They are printed on thick glossy paper and have at times hand written/drawn annotations.

Let me know if you like them!

I found some original art while tidying my collection (completely forgot I had those...)

The following drawings are character design concepts for the XBOX game entitled Fuzion Frenzy. It is interesting to see that the final in-game version of the characters are quite different from the concept drawings.
