Vitaly Bulgarov is helping to build a functional mech. He previously worked on WoW and Starcraft.
Kotaku reports on Vitaly Bulgarov. He is a Concept Artist, which means he creates artwork that will later be brought to life in video games or films. He has worked on Starcraft II: Heart of the Swarm, Diablo 3, and the WoW expansions Mists of Pandaria and Cataclysm. But not only video games need a Concept Artist; other projects in the real world – monumental engineering ideas want to take shape.
Currently, Bulgarov is at the Korean company “Korea Future Technology,” which is working on Project Method-1 – they are building a functional mech, and impressive images are available.
Why is the mech being built and what is it good for? This is still unclear at the moment. It wasn’t built to solve a problem, but to see how it can be used once it’s finished.
To put it differently: The mech was built because it can be.
By the way, mech fans will soon get more:
