Many of you should already be familiar with the work of Matt Manchester, an environment artist at Retro Studios. He posted up quite a few images of his work on his blog as well as a thread on ConceptArt.org(same images) a while back. Well, the folks over at Wikitroid have done a great job at finding a few other Retro artist's websites.

Ben Sprout has posted up some wireframes and renders of his fantastic environments and character modeling work used in Metroid Prime 3.

Ilya Nazarov, a former artist at the studio (who now works at Snowblind), has a few works as well featured on his own website, which includes environments and characters. He also created the entirety of the GUI for Metroid Prime 3 and modeled the Kanden that was used in the marketing materials and cutscenes in Hunters.

Lastly I leave you with this image from Prime concept artist Andrew Jones' personal site, featuring a strange, fairly ominous brain image. Hmmm... is that a tiny Samus in the corner???
