Matthias Develtere is working on something grand.
A great sci-fi project is brewing at Matthias Develtere's workshop, called Black Sky Monarchy, which has been in the making for several years already. Built when the artist has time free from his work at Valve, it has grown significantly and even managed to get some assets shelved.
You have an opportunity to see the scrapped ideas on Develtere's ArtStation, where he showcased what once was part of the project, like this awesome jet, full of little details and personal touches.
The designs were canceled mostly because of their cartoon style, while Develtere wanted "something more gritty." Still, these 3ds Max concepts are worth admiring, so be sure to check out other parts of Black Sky Monarchy.
The project, when it finally reaches completion, which is years away, will likely be a short movie and an artbook. Meanwhile, we can admire its many designs and hope to see more soon.
