Uncharted 2 Concept Artwork

Finally, an update to my own portfolio of work - here're some of the
concept pieces I did while working on Uncharted 2. Now that the game's
out it's safe to show these publicly, and I've been waiting a while to
do so. It was a ton of work and a great experience working on this
game, but everyone on the team worked hard together. Hope you guys
enjoy these!
