Concepts Section Launched!
Monday · Dec 1 · 2008 | 10:18 PM PSTIt came a little later than I had hoped, but concept art is back!
Tonight I launched the Icethetics Concepts page. You can access it from the tab at the top of the page. Right now it features the site's very first concept post in a brand new format I hope everyone will enjoy. It's called the Concept Collage!
Thanks to Vuvox, you'll now be able to enjoy user-submitted concept art in a cool and different way. Head on over to the Concepts page to check it out first hand, but here's a quick rundown. The new collage format works like an interactive slideshow in a panoramic view.
You can manually slide back and forth through the collage checking out all the fantastic artwork or press the play button and let it go automatically. And if it's too small, click on the button in the bottom corner to go full screen!
When you want to weigh in on the designs you've seen, simply add a comment. It works the same as commenting on the blog. You must be an Icethetics member to add a comment. To get a free member account, click here.
I hope you guys enjoy the new Concepts section and the new Concept Collage format. My goal as we get this started is to post new Concept Collages at least once a week then graduate to two to three times. Also, over the next few weeks I'll be rolling out the Featured Artists section as well as revisiting past concept art with new galleries.

Looks great, Chris!
is the concepts section for Logo related art only?
Great modern concepts section.
I was getting really starved for concepts, i'm really glad to see this post. the new format is definitely neat, and puts everything together really well, though it is definitely not as easy as scrolling down a page to find a concept
so i am putting in a request, can we please use the flickr or any other thing to have a team-by-team collection of concepts after they have debuted in this new slideshow? It might take some extra time in archiving, but perhaps just tossing the original images into online folders would do a world of good for organizing, and make it so someone could find a past concept to show others (like the wildwing-buffaslug mix that i keep showing to sabres fans).
will all the old concept art be posted eventually?
Re: John
I am sure that would could post some thing like that on the website. Wouldn't take that much storage if we shrink the images to a reasonable size. Would be a great addition to the site as well!!
What does everyone think?
No big deal, but you guys might want to read the post before asking questions that have already been answered. If you look at the post, I did say I'll be rolling out new galleries which will include past concept art... Kenneth. I thought it went without saying that the newer concept art will be included in these galleries. And yes, I plan on dividing said galleries up by team... John. And Jeff, I don't understand your question.
In the meantime, enjoy the Concept Collages! Thanks Spencer and KOHO!
