Twisted Metal: Black vehicle concept art · 11:26pm Mar 29th, 2022
Here’s an interesting fact about the development process of the Twisted Metal games: the vehicles are created first, and the drivers second.
So, while we all wait for me to resume writing Twisted Magic: Black, here are some (but not all) vehicle concept arts of Twisted Metal: Black; some of these vehicles never made it into the game, while others did, but with different designs.
All of the pictures in this post are by Lee R. Wilson.
Brimstone
My favorite detail in these two pieces of art is the windshield: it actually has the image of two faces in it. The first piece also has a crescent moon in the window. Neither of these details made it into the game, however.
The cross (concept art)/stake (in-game) on Brimstone’s hood doesn’t affect ramming damage; as the second piece shows, it instead serves as the launch point for its Special Attack.
Darkside
This art of Darkside has a decidedly Mad Max aesthetic. It ultimately saw many changes, the biggest of which was changing from a European-style cab-over to a North American-style long-nose.
