Potential FO3 concept art (big pics)

I dunno if Bethesda is linked to this at all (and I doubt it), but it has a striking resemblance to some of the stuff we've seen so far. It feels more Terminator than Fallout, but that seems to be the way things are going.

There's a shit ton more floating around.

perhaps im going crazy, but the lighting just doesnt look fallout? everything in fallout was too bright, washed out, and bleached by the sun, which this isnt really

aside from that its pretty neat. i agree with your assertion that it reminds one of terminator. to me it looks way too generic post-apoc, like millions of other pictures we've seen that have ceased to look cool or interesting. but i think thats simply because it doesnt have the fallout-esque lighting

Looks like something Al Gore would use and not Bethesda. Besides, I can see remains of buildings so it's totally illogical and contradicts the Fallout setting. It should be more like the Glow.

How Fallout is lush vegetation?

Btw I recognise that last picture. I agree - this probably has nothing to do with Bethesda.

I can't be sure at all, but isn't that last picture the splash screen you get if your fifteen years (or whatever it is) run out in FO2?

As for standing buildings not being canon in FO, I would refer all of you to the map screen of Necropolis (Bakersfield) from Fallout 1. It has many tall buildings still standing.

They're awesome pictures. Don't know how Fallout they are, but the guy's got some real talent there.

If you disregard the first two, which are also the least unlikely to be from Bethesda.

I remember when this happened before the Oblivion release, Beth was uber stingy with media and a million and one images got released that only somewhat resembled the 1 or 2 items beth had released up until that point. It's not Fallout 3 (clearly) but more precisely it's not Beth's.

Definitely not Beth... and weren't these posted on CGTalk sometime ago?

Edit: I don't know if someone has posted this already, but here is a link to the homepage of the concept artist Bethesda is using for FO3.

I really like the third one down with all the plants growing on and around buildings. Not very Fallouty but still pretty cool.

Stop whinging guys. I think they're pretty dope. Maybe not as "Fallouty" as Fallout 1 (notice the use of key words there), but they are not bad, and if they are Bethesda's then that would give me a little hope.

They look good, but remind me more of The Day After Tomorrow (shitty movie) than what we've seen from bethesda so far.

Last pic is what I would expect.
The second last, not so much, but still pretty cool.

I like them.

While I'm not sure if these are legit F3 images I am at least sure they are the same artist, so a decent idea of what to expect can at least be attained.

What makes you think it's FO3-related artwork? There are TONS of post-apocalyptic projects out there, and tons of artists that have a Mullins-like style.

this one from the artists site feels quite fallout:

Yes...somehow. But it's a bit too didactic for my liking.
