Emmanuel Shiu’s robot

Mr Emmanuel Shiu is a San Francisco-based conceptual artist and matte painter, originally hailing from Hong Kong, China. His professional work includes films like Hellboy, The Day After Tomorrow and Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow—though his contributions to the latter were modest.

There is some impressive concept art for Hellboy, among other films, on display at his Website, and in this particular depiction one can perhaps see some Sky Captain influence after all?

    love it

    Really awesome too. It's too bad this isn't in with his other professional work, I got all excited that they were going through with the live-action Robotech movie.

    Those are very clearly Macross based Variable fighters.
  • Alexander Burke
    That definitely looks like the Macross/Robotech Veritechs.
  • Instead of Sky Captain, I believe that is an homage to the "Valkyrie" fighter from Robotech.
