Check out Man of Steel concept art by Milena Zdravkovic!
In the movie Man of Steel Jor-El (Russell Crowe) steals the "Codex" which Superman Homepage describes as "an ancient Kryptonian artifact that decodes the genetic makeup of the artificially incubated babies on the planet. An ancient Kryptonian skull, inscribed with glowing green glyphs, the Codex dictated the genetic code of millions of Kryptonians as yet unborn. The Codex, as explained by Jax-Ur, contains the DNA of a billion Kryptonians." In the movie it looks like an ancient skull made out of coal or rock, but it almost looked very different. It almost looked like brass or metal.
One of the artists that helped shape the look of the Codex and chamber was Milena Zdravkovic and she shared her artwork from the film on her site. Zdravkovic is a professional concept artist who's worked on Hollywood movies like Robocop (2014), X2 (2003) and Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011)

I really like your first concept art frame - sort of like skulls withing a skull.
ReplyDeleteThe detail really makes that picture. The artist has really maximized the use of light and shadow to make this look like a photograph of an actual relic. Cool.
