Avalanche Mad Max game concept art

 Unless you are a gamer or have bundles of free time on your hands the world of Avalanche's Mad Max is other wise inaccessible or you have to endure youtube game play with someone else's narrative. I have the game but I'm a crap player and work doesn't allow much time to explore it. Which is a shame because it is such a richly developed world and what brings me to my second gripe... where the hell is the Art of Mad Max the game book? I have art books for Fallout, Rage, The Last of us, and Days Gone but no Mad Max. It's seems maybe a complicated situation with it connections to the upcoming Furiosa movie but it would be a great book to have. Here's a taste of what it could've been. Avalanche's Mad Max game concept art.

Tony Wright Fury Road concept art.

British artist Tony Wright's work on Fury Road.

"Back in 1999 I was invited to Australia to start developing storyboards for the 4th part of a successful film franchise then in early pre-production in Sydney. I didn’t stay long as my fathers failing health necessitated that I return home and I didn’t do any boarding whilst there as the script hadn’t quite reached a stage where embarking on that process would have been useful. So, to justify my presence, I started working on some vehicle designs. 

I very much doubt that I am credited now the film has, some 16 years later, finally, been released nor is it likely that any of my work will make any Art Of… book but that’s OK, I enjoyed the work and the trip to Oz and I’m happy to see that the reviews have been excellent. 

Anway, here are a few of those designs. They were originally completed with pencil and marker on paper but have, subsequently, undergone some Photoshop tweaking."
