Syd Mead art
« on: August 18, 2013, 09:13:40 PM »
Outside of the TG16 shooter and his popular movie work, I've never gone out of my way to look at Syd Mead's art before. Just stumbled across this: http://imgur.com/a/s9Oyr#0

Pretty awesome. The same and more comes up in google images, but the link is a good start.

I just missed out on a eBay auction for his Kronolog book/LD combo. I thought I might get it at $200...

It went for $700...

That was pretty rad.  Reminded me of Futureland at Disney.

I had no idea anything like that was created for LD... I have it on VHS. No, he would never have allowed it on VHS.

Yeah, I had to do a bit of Googling and found this guy's discussion of it:
http://someartbooks.wordpress.com/2012/07/21/syd-mead%C2%B4s-kronolog/

Very neat stuff, but apparently it's only white people in the future.  :P

I'd never seen any of this before, so beautiful. Just has that mystery and uncertainty about it that really captures me, like many games do. Leaves so much to the imagination. I see one of his books is in print for a pretty low price, I may have to buy myself a copy. Thanks for posting this.

It was also released on VHS, but in much fewer numbers.

That does look fantastic, but I was hoping for a 'Terraforming' box set discussing his creation and the gameplay/grafx..  Oh well.

That artwork is fantastic.

It's a bit embarrassing, but I watched Blade Runner for the first time yesterday (got the blu-ray version of amazon) and it was very fun seeing that design artwork and concept sketches by him shown in the documentary that came with it. :)

Why haven't I heard about this guy sooner?!
