Nuthin’ But Mech promises robots, and robots is what it delivers. The group blog features mech, robots, and automatica drawn by almost two dozen different artists, including Jake Parker, who work is shown here.

He is a masterful painter who has an astonishing ability to create a kind of reductive literal realism that appears almost photographic. Here’s a small section…

… of a much larger illustration Mielgo created for an advertising client. On his blog he explains how he did six comprehensive roughs before this version of the image was settled on… and then, after execution, the project died!

Mielgo hints at his work on many major film and video game productions… but unfortunately, because of corporate secrecy, he is often unable to share much of that work with us. He had to take down an example of his contribution to Beatles Rockband, but was allowed to show a sketch from a Dorian Grey film project.

Alberto has also done some comics projects. This is a page from a story he drew for Image’s Popgun #3.

Illustration, concept art, comics… *whew!* … and somehow Mielgo finds the time to do fine art gallery painting as well!

Damaggio worked as a comic book artist for DC in the 1990’s before moving on to do concept art and storyboards for such summer blockbusters as MI3, Lemony Snicket’s SoUE, Hidalgo, Indiana Jones 4, and Fantastic Four “Rise of the Silver Surfer”, among many others.  Pouring through Damaggio’s website will leave you feeling a little overwhelmed by his stunning sense of cinematic perspective – not to mention his rock-solid drawing and painting skills.  This guy is good.

Here’s a cool video for the concept artists and industrial designers in the crowd. ILoveSketch is a 3D sketching system being developed at the University of Toronto described as an “as-natural-as-possible sketching system for creating 3D curve models”.
