Feng Zhu's Dynamic Transformers Concept Art Is More Than Meets The Eye

Z is for Zhu, Feng
Some of the greatest concept artists in the industry have at least one Star Wars movies in their resume. Is it because George Lucas sought out the best or did LucasArts turn them into great artists? I'm still not sure.

One of the greatest of the artists is Singaporean-American Feng Zhu who worked on Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005)


Nowhere in his resume or IMDb page does it list Transformers, but he has some Transformer robot designs and it's thought that he worked on Transformers II: Revenge of the Fallen (2009).


Official Synopsis:
The battle for Earth continues in this action-packed blockbuster from director Michael Bay and executive producer Steven Spielberg. When college-bound Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) learns the truth about the ancient origins of the Transformers, he must join Optimus Prime and Bumblebee in their epic battle against the Decepticons?, who have returned with a plan to destroy our world.

Here are his Starscream and other concept designs.






Whether they're officially from the movies or not, they're great designs.

What do you think of the Transformers designs?
