Thanks OP. I absolutely love Syd Mead's stuff.

Have you seen any of Syd Mead's concepts for Tron? I only found out he did some of the concepts when I was watching the credits whilst bored.

It turns out Moebius did the other half, which is why I guess theres such a big difference between the first half and second half of the film.

Yes on some Tron fansites there are a few blurry images: http://www.tron-sector.com/gallery/default.aspx?do=gallery&section=1&category=14

woah, thank you Anon! You're right, they are blurry and shit, but it's still quite interesting. I really hope they get him to work on Tron 2; it'll make me think the idea of a Tron sequel is slightly less shit.

A couple more pieces of Syd Mead Blade Runner art.

Not sure whether or not this one is from Blade Runner

The internet consensus seems to be that this 1968 painting by Syd Mead (for US Steel) was the inspiration for the Imperial Snow Walker in Star Wars. Seems plausible.

Here is a series of interviews with Syd Mead:

Do you have a name for this? I would really love a higher res version to use as wallpaper.

Seconded, Syd Mead's work is fantastic.

Ah, it may not actually be by Mead. I got it from here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/kielbryant/2251508135/in/set-72157603903308389/
I think it might be Star Wars concept art for Coruscant by Doug Chiang. I think the guy put it in his Syd Mead set to make the point that it is heavily influenced by Syd Mead.
If it's Star Wars there must be higher res versions out there. I'm not on my own computer atm so i'll leave you guys to search for better versions.

you might get a high quality version of >>555 in scans of the Art Of Star Wars books such as those found in http://www.demonoid.com/files/details/1616789/6976998/
