Marvel's Avengers produced the most beautiful concept art of the last five years. This is because Marvel hired the best artists on the business and they were under the direction of the inspiring Joss Whedon.

I'm always happy to share more concept art from the film along with illustrations from Thor. I've already interviewed Nathan Schroeder, reviewed the book Art of Marvel's the Avengers and I'm still loving everything they produced.

The introduction written by Jay (nailbiter111) says it better than I could, do I'll just quote him. "Steve Jung has been a professional artist since he graduated in 2003. In that short period of time Steve has quickly risen up the ranks, going from video games to working on major motion pictures, like Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and TRON: Legacy. Below you will find artwork that he created for four recent films. For Joss Whedon's The Avengers, Steve created various environments like, the New York City set, Stark Tower and the Helicarrier interior. For Kenneth Branagh's Thor he illustrated environments like, Jotunheim, and Asgard."

I've included some of my favorites, but head to Comic Book Movie to see the rest.

Here are some of the artists that worked on the science-fiction film Battleship (2012). As always there are many talented artists involved in the production of a film. These are only some of them according to IMDb and my own research.

Official Synopsis:
Peter Berg (Hancock) produces and directs Battleship, an epic action-adventure that unfolds across the seas, in the skies and over land as our planet fights for survival against a superior force. Based on Hasbro’s classic naval combat game, Battleship stars Taylor Kitsch as Lt. Alex Hopper, a Naval officer assigned to the USS John Paul Jones; Brooklyn Decker as Sam Shane, a physical therapist and Hopper’s fiancée; Alexander Skarsgard as Hopper’s older brother, Stone, Commanding Officer of the USS Sampson; Rihanna as Petty Officer Raikes, Hopper’s crewmate and a weapons specialist on the USS John Paul Jones; and international superstar Liam Neeson as Hopper and Stone’s superior (and Sam’s father), Admiral Shane.

Directed by Peter Berg
Production Design by Neil Spisak

Update: Steve Jung sent me some comments about his work on the Avengers. 
At the risk of turning this into an all Avengers blog, I couldn't help but share Steve Jung's designs for the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier.

Steve Jung (Thor, TRON: Legacy, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen) was specifically mentioned by Nathan Schroeder as a key designer on the Helicarrier and his concept art is all over the Art of Marvel's The Avengers book (review coming soon).

Here's what Jung told me about working on the film The Avengers (2012).

Working on the avengers was one of the coolest experience ever. Being a fan of the comic book it was fun designing things that I fantasized as a kid.  I was surrounded by very talent artist who are all good friends of mine even before the project so it was lots of fun.  Being one of the first [artists] to join the project I got a chance to design many of the important sets.

There is a lot of discussion with the production designer, the director, and myself before deciding on any aspect of design. It's always a group effort and I'm just a part of the big machine.  But at the same time I was pushing for a clean modern utilitarian design for a lot of the sets I was designing.

 Check them out after the jump...

Here's what we said about the designs on his blog.

Some of the initial sketches for the movie The Avengers. I did this in my first week of working on the project and they sort of moved ahead with the first sketch. 

It's fascinating to see how where the VTOL engines could have been. All good, but I think they chose the best one. Here are some more great concept paintings from his site.
