Concept art is awesome.
Whether it's pre-release hype-building or anecdotes about what the game might have been, it always captivates the imagination and is the perfect combination of being just vague enough to encourage speculation and still set the stage for what the developers are trying to create.
Above, I included an image from the original Mirror's Edge, a scene in a prison cafeteria that never made it into the final version.
If you have any particular favorites, anything you had as your wallpaper for a while, or pictures from a project that never came to be, share them here.
