For fans of beautiful game environments, there isn’t much better than some of the stellar space scenes in Mass Effect. But these locales don’t just create themselves. Long before the game has launched artists have created these places deep inside their minds and then transferred their ideas to paper, well technically their computer. Regardless, concept art is a lot harder to find than fan art due to the ratio of content that is out there. Luckily for us, pretty much every concept artist out there has a portfolio out there, just waiting to be found. This week we take a look at Matt Rhodes, one of the concept artists behind the Mass Effect franchise.
