Nathaniel West is a veteran concept artist who served as lead concept artist on Interstellar, and has also worked on Godzilla, Inception and Iron Man 2. His latest project, though, is as creator of the upcoming video game Transmission
Taking cues from classic sci-fi design like 2001 and Alien, and some of his favourite games of all time (Ico, Resident Evil, Secret of Monkey Island, The Dig, and Zelda), heâs come up with an adventure about a man who wakes up on an alien planet with no idea of how he got there.
What follows is an action-adventure game with tactical combat, exploration and puzzles, but whatâs really got my attentionâand is the reason Iâm talking about the game here on Fine Artâis that art.
As you can see if you look closely enough, itâs hand-drawn. West hasnât just created and designed the game, heâs done all the art as well, and it looks amazing, both in stills and in action.
As such, Iâve included a bunch of images from the game below, which range from concepts to cutscenes to screenshots.
Transmission is currently up on Kickstarter looking for $84,000 in funding
