UPDATED: Whacked Out Russian 'Arena' Concept Art

Update: The producers confirmed the artist is Anton Kokorin
The Russian site Film.ru posted some crazy, crazy concept art for a Russian film called Arena (Арена) by Janik Faiziev (also known as Dzhanik Fayziev). Even if you don't understand Russian, this looks like an epic science-fiction film.

The list of bizarre things in these illustrations could take up a phone book, but two things come to mind. One, the guy is running around on an alien planet barefoot. Two, the guy's arm gets stripped to the bone and he's still alive.

I don't understand a word of Russian. Thanks to the magic of Google Translate, however, I can get a close approximation of what the site is talking about.

Synopsis:

And mankind, and the aliens - an equal chance to become Supercivilizations, if not the war they waged with each other. The main battle - will completely destroy one and plunge to the very origins of the others. Will the "higher reason" decides to fight the battle of the two soldiers. The possibility of physical superiority, and randomness. How will the man who turned out in an atmosphere that simply can not be? War, thousands of soldiers - far away, in another reality. And here - only you - naked and helpless. And your enemy - I would like to believe that in the same position. Man is very tenacious - and to win we must reject it. Make yourself a moment to sink into the abyss, from which, perhaps, has not come back. But if after - you can open your eyes - then surely you can and win.

Doesn't make sense to me either. It seems to be an alien war between a man and some kind of higher powers.

So, here's how the site describes the project:

Janik Faiziev with the producer center "Ivan" prepared to work on a fantastic project , "Arena". On Youtube-channel production center "Ivan", responsible for the creation Novels of Paul Sanaeva "The Game" , was found a curious video. Producer and director Janik Faiziev talks about the concept of a fantastic project , "Arena" , which we expect and spaceships that are based on current available technology earthlings, and the match between the different galactic races, which will decide the outcome of the battle.
The story is accompanied by a demonstration of numerous concept art, illustrating the idea of the director, "Turetsky Gambit" . In general, it seems pretty interesting. In the presentation of ideas a lot of time to detail and visuals, while not lacking motivation of characters, a coherent narrative structure. In fact, it all comes down to the story of the duel, and the temptation, but the proposed visual range is very curious and worth it to give this video 12 minutes of your attention.
Update: The producers asked us to remove the video, apparently, intended more for potential co-investors of the project, than for the general public. But to sweeten the pill, to the public given nine concept art, from those that flashed in the video. They are, in principle, and illustrate most of the described Janik Fayzieva scenes.
