New gorgeous Guardians of the Galaxy concept art revealed

Olivier Pron was the lede matte painter for Guardians of the Galaxy. His concepts for the movie sets—and other movies and personal projects—are extremely cool. I love the Chris Foss-iness of Xandar, the home planet of the Nova Corps. The rest of his work is equally great. I wish I could roam his worlds with an Oculus Rift.

Update: A reader points out that, if you zoom into that runway, there's a really cool easter egg. Check it out.

Olivier Pron works as a concept artist and matte painter at Method Studios. He was the lead matte painter for Guardians of the Galaxy, and a concept artist for Iron Man 3 , Cloud Atlas, Watchmen and X-Men: The Last Stand.

You can follow his work in his website and Google+.
