We're continuing our new regular series here on Untoldthegame.com; it's one that will give a bit of insight into how our awesome artists go about doing their inspiring work and will hopefully delight your eyes along the way. It's called "Concept-7", because we're going to expose some of our concept work to you (to let you see what's coming down the pipe for Untold) by asking the artist who did the piece 7 questions about that piece in particular.
We hope you find it engaging and interesting! Please let us know what you think by posting a comment or responding in our forums -- we'd love to hear from you!
