Concept Art From EA's Gunhead, Oliver Twist

Game industry sleuth Supperannuation points out that UK artist Ross Dearsley, formerly a senior conceptual designer at Electronic Arts for nine years, has a fabulous collection of work posted on his personal site from EA's released and cancelled internal projects. You can see several of my favorites after the break.
Along with a look at character designs from the previously discussed current generation remake for Road Rash, Dearsley's site offers concept artwork for titles like Gunhead and Oliver Twist -- Dante's Inferno wasn't EA's first go at adapting a classic literary text into a video game!

Gee, no that doesn't look at all like someone traced over Masamune Shirow work in Apple Seed and just tweaked some lines to hide teh fact. Of course Gun Head sin't just some stand in for Briareos Hecatonchires...that would just be silly.
