Some promotional art for H2SA

Summary

Concept art for H2SA

Request for the original since this one seems edited…

Not sure if this is legit or it’s cropped from the promo artwork

[Ingvar]

Holy cow these are really good, thank you for posting them!

And thank you to everyone else for posting your stuff, I appreciate it. I have a lot of stuff already in my folder that I intend to add in the near future.

Main goals are right now: Finish up on some of the SA/BM character concepts I missed, complete adding all the contents of Hitman Absolution: Full Disclosure and then get to work on WOA. WOA is gonna be tough, I have no clue how to approach it.

EDIT 2: Gonna be adding a whole lot of Absolution concepts today. A bit overwhelming considering the amount of google results you get when you first search it.

Thank you for making this thread! This is big

[Ingvar]

I tried adding this to the original post, however I exceeded the character limit.

Hitman Absolution Artbook

I got an error uploading a few of them, probably because you shouldn’t upload 70 images at once, so there are a few missing.

[EvilGeniusRo]

Damn, such amazing concept art. Shame the game got butchered by it’s nonsensical plot and technical limitations that let to checkpoints for levels instead of big open ones…

@Ingvar

Man, they were trying to copy Max Payne 3 a bit too much for the game’s own good

[Ingvar]

I’m gonna have to start updating this thread in replies. I’m beginning to reach the character limit. Ideally I can make a reply with the concept art I want to add and provide a link to it in the original post.

Uploading most if not all of the extra posed character renders for H2:SA, thank you to Firepower for the high quality versions of some of these.

H2:SA Character Renders

I know I’ve posted a few duplicates by now, sorry.

I will be updating this post with some of the Blood Money promotional renders sometime soon.

Blood Money Promotional Character Renders

Including this one as well because why not?

Extra Absolution Concepts

Found a lot of the other BM/SA character arts. Updating the original post with what I can.

Alright replaced the BM concepts with higher quality/more original versions. SA will be a pain to do and these are not that much higher quality anyway so I’m not sure.

I’ve found some incredibly lost concept art in a PDF.

More Codename 47 Concepts & Renders

If anyone wants a look at the PDF: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/678218030362394635/683692461784039444/MakingHitman.pdf

There’s more too, but it doesn’t really fit here, gonna have to wait for the lost media thread for now.

It’s been 10 minutes since I posted this and I’m still freaking out

Great idea @Luiluix. I’ve extracted all the images and replaced it with the rare ones.

[Luiluix]

You should export all images from that PDF separately, it’d be much better to post

[Bardachenko]

What about a tribute to this concept art transforming it in an elusive target?

[banana]

IMO would’ve loved 47 with that hairstyle.

[Ingvar]

I will be adding most if not all the leftover concept art for non-WOA games I find here as long as I can. Might be worth it checking this post every once in awhile. It’s a bit barebones for now though.

Codename 47

(Thanks to MrOchoa for saving this)

Contracts

I was not going to add these two as they are pretty easy to find (and I somewhat question the legitimacy of the second one, looks real for the most part however) though here they are anyway.

Blood Money

I don’t think I’ve seen this particular one full-body ever.

Blood Money Weapons

Absolution

Not much else to add as of right now.

I haven’t really been adding any video concepts, as they are a bit awkward to fit in, but I will link the Vimeo profile of Martin Madsen, where you can find animatics done for the ICA File trailer series and a scrapped cutscene (Absolution). I have also added some of his image storyboards to the Absolution section. Cool stuff.

Those H2SA renders are all fan-made. Still worth keeping them in as they look official and show Mr X’s textures in detail.

[Ingvar]

Thank you for pointing this out. I never noticed.

I will be removing them as this is only for official concepts/promo/renders.

Anyhoo, already editing the post with new concepts. Blood Money weapon renders have been added, and Silent Assassin WPN renders will be coming soon. Added multiple Absolution storyboards.

That image of 47 from the Blood Money cover with legs is absolutely cursed.

This one is real, it’s even in the BM strategy guide I sent earlier.

Hitman's Lost Concept Art - Thread

Looks like Dr Kovacs from Codename 47 to me It’s drawn in the same style as bm and I don’t believe the artist who made that worked on c47, so no idea what they were doing there.

Here's some of the character concepts from the compilation poster from the strategy guide and some other art it has, it's the best I could find for the few we have

[Ingvar]

I’m gonna start trying to replace some of the concepts with higher quality versions I’ve found. I’ve been avoiding that because finding what to replace is a pain in the ass.

Oh, and if you haven’t already, I encourage you to go back and check some of the categories and update replies. They’ve been updated quite a few times with a lot of new stuff.

[Ingvar]

Alright. Kicking off the WOA with Season One. As always higher quality versions and more individual images are out there, I will be continuously updating this post with them along with new art.

Thanks to Luiluix for some of these.

HITMAN

Concepts

I might’ve missed a few while uploading, do let me know if I have.

Absolution Concepts

I added a new concept for the Paris models, and some Absolution Concepts. I do realize there are quite a few duplicates and a HITMAN 2 concept snuck in there sorry about that…

[EvilGeniusRo]

Holy smokes, the motherload! That’s an amazing collection. Must have been a nightmare to find 'em all

[Rimland]

Ah, still sad for no Mrs. Ando… Super curious what the mission with her was meant to be.

And those Marrakesh concepts are still amazing.

[BlobSponge]

Impressive. Som of these concept arts were still unknown to me untill today. Thanks for sharing this.

Here are other concept arts and mockup I found for Hitman 1:

Sorry for the eventual duplicates. Considering the number of concept arts you dug up, it somehow difficult to track all the duplicates.

Concept arts for Hitman 2 are also found on this site.
