Concept artist Justin Sweet created this amazingly cool series of art for Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy movie. These are extremely different character designs than what we ended up seeing in the movie. These show a darker, more hardened version of what could have been. I love this set of art, and it would have been cool to see what these would have looked like on the big screen. Don't get me wrong, I love what the movie gave us, but I'm really happy that I got to see these alternate designs.

Here’s news that should delight and infuriate fans of George R. R. Martin’s A Song Of Ice And Fire series. While HBO’s swords and sex epic is reaching the end of the third season (and the halfway point of the third point), Martin is still “working” on the sixth book, The Winds Of Winter.
Of course, inbetween that, he’s been working on the HBO show, and supplying an episode a season, and also signed with HBO to develop other shows. Add to the list, a coffee table book dubbed, lovingly, ”The Grrm-arillion.” The book is actually a history of Westeros, something that sounds enthralling in itself, which Martin has written 250,000 words of.
Martin’s description of the book:
“The concordance. Elio and Linda are my partners on this one, a compendium of the history and legends of the world of Westeros. A coffee table book, lots...

Chitauri Designs "I had a brief stint working on the Ch'tauri (though they weren't called that at the time) while in the Visual Development department. I took a couple of passes of refining Justin Sweet's original designs and attempting to define the look of the armor & weapons and how they might integrate into the creature. Ultimately Ryan Meinerding developed the final look in Z-Brush. " - Phil Saunders "I imagined the helmet as being a little deceiving, so that ultimately when the mask was ripped off you would find that the creature had air holes in the place of eyes, which would actually be to either side of the mouth. I also liked the idea of some kind of "light chainsaw" that would wrap around the forearm. Kind of the hedge trimmer of your nightmares.
