I ran across this artist, Alex Jay Brady (his Instagram) the other day and wanted to share. IMHO, his vision of DUNE is amazing, especially the worms:
From The Battle of Arakeen:
Guild Highliners:
Alex presents an interesting take on Giedi Prime, home of the Harkonnens. I'd always envisioned the planet as a dark, perpetually polluted hellscape, but Mr. Brady has a different view:
His interpretation of the ornithopters (in multiple panels above and pictured below on Caladan—something that was never explicitly stated in the books, but upon reflection would have to have been obvious) is also much more aligned with how I pictured them upon reading the novel, even moreso than Denis Vileneuve's vision in the upcoming film:
From Book 3, God Emperor of DUNE, the worm/human hybrid himself, God Emperor Leto II:
Thank you for sharing this artistic genius! I am now obsessed with his work. Glorious interpretations. XOXO
those are indeed awesome worms
