Killzone 3 - environment concept art

**Jesse van Dijk** · March 22nd, 2011, 06:47 PM

Here's some artwork I did for Killzone 3. I had a really good time working on this project with so many incredibly talented artists.

The Helghast space station production design shown below (last two images of this post) is a collaborative effort between the amazing Mike Hill and myself.

Hope you like them!

Cheers,
Jesse

Wow, disgustingly amazing! If Killzone didn't give me heart issues I would definitely pick up part 3. Amazing work.

**Mandryk** · March 22nd, 2011, 08:00 PM

absolutely top notch! thanks for sharing these.

**kait** · March 22nd, 2011, 08:02 PM

damn, you are too good.

**Uncharted_Artist** · March 22nd, 2011, 10:35 PM

Just awsome!! The game was so amazing as well Great job on everyone who worked on killzone 3 man! Love your game!

**Jeff Bartzis** · March 23rd, 2011, 12:42 AM

this sold the game for me.
Killzone 2's environments were such an inspiration. I can already tell this game will be as well.

**lewiston** · March 23rd, 2011, 04:41 AM

bam! bullseye work.
Thanks for showing!

**Floris Didden** · March 23rd, 2011, 05:12 AM

Stunning work, man. You continually humble me with your speed and no-nonsense approach to design. It's been a blast working with you (and all the other guys) on this project.
It's a shame how so much work and thought has to be represented by only a handful of pictures on a forum, but I know how much you contributed to the project. Can't wait to see what's next!

**Mohdawg** · March 23rd, 2011, 06:30 AM

wow, breathtaking... strong concept and flawless design, do you use any fotomontage to your design !?

**Kroamer** · March 23rd, 2011, 06:41 AM

Hey Jesse, ik zag je naam al voorbijkomen tijdens de aftiteling van KZ3, gelijk een smile van oor tot oor natuurlijk. Toch een beetje nationale trots

Gefeliciteerd met het uiteindelijke resultaat van KZ3 absoluut SMASHING!
Om verder maar te zwijgen van de prachtige C.A.
We zijn weer helemaal blij!

Always stunned by the stuff you post. Amazing work man!! I'm always floored by the energy you can keep in your pieces when bringing them to incredible detail.

Well done dude.

**Ian Barker** · March 23rd, 2011, 09:09 AM

after playing the beta and now seeing these i have to say that killzone 3 has been bumped up on my to-buy list

**nonameowns** · March 23rd, 2011, 10:00 AM

wow tack sharp. too sharp imo but cool work.

played killzone 3 demo, so boring. it's no different than any modern shooters.

**slyve** · March 23rd, 2011, 10:23 AM

so goooood, love the last image!

**Stylor** · March 23rd, 2011, 10:57 AM

breathtaking work

**mEgA fLeeCe RaIn** · March 24th, 2011, 02:52 PM

the helghast space station is truly impressive, well done jesse van dyk. thanks for sharing these wonderful works.

**Duman** · March 24th, 2011, 03:05 PM

Beautiful stuff. I absolutely love the detailing, and the aesthetic really helps sell it as uniquely killzone. Really well done.
May I be so bold as to ask how long one of these usually takes to finish?

**DavidSmit** · March 25th, 2011, 04:39 AM

Great to see new and awesome stuff Jesse! It always amazes me how much Epicness your images have!

**Pavel Sokov** · March 25th, 2011, 11:10 AM

Oh wow these were beautiful! Very sharp and exact!
I think as far as I can remember these are my favorite games concept designs I have seen.
The reason being is that they are treated as fully rendered finished masterpieces. The entire time I was thinking "isn't this too much effort for a concept?".
I am very impressed by how polished these are.

I applaud you.

**goldilockz** · March 25th, 2011, 11:25 AM

These are awesome!

**stalsby** · March 25th, 2011, 03:25 PM

Amazing work!! I checked out your site as well and was stunned!! Do you have any process shots of any of your work? I'm curious to see the development of your environments.

**Velocity Kendall** · March 25th, 2011, 04:24 PM

**Jesse van Dijk** · March 26th, 2011, 05:06 PM

Many thanks for the positive feedback all, very much appreciated!

Mandryk>> Many thanks man!

Floris>> Cheers man, that means a lot. Working together was a blast indeed. We'll talk soon!

Mohdawg>> Thanks, I'll use any techinque/method that will help me get the point across, including 3d, photos, etc.

scho81>> cheers dude!

Sabin> cheers man, good to see you here. I'm keeping an eye out for any new works of yours!

Duman>> thanks dude. Generally somewhere between one to four days. The space station took a bit longer though...

David! Good to see you're still alive man, been watching your awesome new works recently. Have fun in Budapest!

Pavel Sokov>> The level of detail in these paints is generally required, as everything should be easily interpretable by level designers, lighting artists, and so on.

stalsby>> thanks man. Unfortunately no WIP shots for these.

again, many thanks all!
