I've shown some of Hugo Martin's Pacific Rim concept art before, but see more atmospheric illustrations of the Kaiju Knifehead and Crimson Typhoon from the film.
Martin is a professional concept artist and matte painter who's worked on video games like Halo and The Force Unleashed and Hollywood films like Avengers(2010), The Dark Tower and Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters (2013).
Check out the rest of the pictures after the jump (click to enlarge).

Official PACIFIC RIM Synopsis
When legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanity’s resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge. But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju. On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes-a washed up former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi)-who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past. Together, they stand as mankind’s last hope against the mounting apocalypse.
