Daniel Dociu is a Romanian-born video game concept artist whose work we ran across back when we were a Spectrum judge earlier this year. He’s currently Art Director at ArenaNet, most recently having worked on Guildwarsm according to his website. His work has a kind of Jawa explosion/rainy night in Hong Kong/ruined hydroponic tank feeling to it. Very SF. Very good. Many many more examples of his work at his site.

In the collectors edition of each of the Guild Wars box-sets theres an art-book, including a whole load of his concept work. It’s lovely and – even better – they manage to capture a chunk of it actually in the in-game panoramas.
