A few if not most of these guys worked on Project Offset, props to them all.
But the first thing I noticed when watching the teaser trailers was the innovative art style. Khang's work stood out to me because he isn't confined by only Western or even Eastern tastes.

I'd love to see more of his art from after 2007 but I'm sure it's locked away in some vault at Intel. ;)

Ahh very nice, thanks for the links. I agree, the style seems to be an eclectic mix but suits everything he draws. Yeah I really liked the look of the Project Offset drawings, shame about that. I wonder if there are personal works he could share, then again more Hawken art would be nice too!

Truly a talented artist. Thanks for providing the link to his Deviant Art page. His pieces are absolutely awe-inspiring. I have nothing but respect towards those who take on such a profession. Try as I might, I cannot fathom how someone can both visualize these incredibly intricate images in their mind and flawlessly transfer them into a physical form. Simply brilliant.

I for one used to think Greco-Roman architecture and armor was simply superior to others in terms of aesthetics until I saw that one teaser. It blew my mind wide open...

I have never experienced such a sudden change in my taste before, I just had to look him up!

Definately some superb artistry in there!
It's a real shame Project Offset got axed!  :x

Anyone got high rez versions (19xx X 12xx) of the 1st pic or the 9th('wood elf land', large tree leaning over) pic_
My PC's require some new backdrops so I can get heavily distracted from work by looking at them!  :mrgreen:
I think these pics can achieve that purpose :!:

Not quite that big, but I think I have some larger ones saved on my other computer. I'll get back to you on that asap.

Actually, you can see the second one on his site (click for a larger size):
http://khangle.squar... ... ry/9714799
It's still pretty small, but it's better than nothing.

Unfortunately, I can't find the 1st one at all which I had as a wallpaper like a month ago! I might have deleted it. Sorry!

How about you ask Khang very nicely if he can hook you up with the original. He seems like an open guy. ;)
