Sci-fi Cities Wall paper Collection-http://www.howtogeek.com/?p=96937
Many of these are good enough that if they were cover art
I'd buy the book.
A fun little poster.http://goo.gl/UNvXP
I like the strolling on the open deck of an airplane/space ship...
and who are the poor smucks working out on the tip of the wing?
The one down side-I keep thinking that whoever ends up in this kind of sickbay
is going to have an alien facehugger stuck down their throat.
Important safety tip-

I sort of hope that someone adds some fantasy art as well.

I noticed that it's always raining in the off world colonies
That, and you need a gun. A really big gun.
...and not one of those Buck roger ray guns.
Nope, its always something one step below a cannon
One that splatters people all over the side walk
In the rain.
Heck if I want a crime ridden city with rotten weather
who needs a space ship?
I'll just go to Baltamore.
awesome stuff as always Warren...Love the Blade Runneresque noir stuff...
Some great posters & book covers:http://goo.gl/0fXY3

( I do wish other folks would post art as well)
Thanks for posting all the awesome Eye Candy Warren. I appreciate your love of Fantasy/Sci-Fi Artwork a lot. I myself am a freelance fantasy illustrator.I would like to recommend some sites where you can find a lot of good art/eye candy.
If you haven't heard of it there is a Fantasy and Sci-Fi magazine name ImagineFX. They have a bustling online forum and galleries where readers and professionals can upload their artwork. A lot of fantastic art can be found there:

Also there is a blog named Muddy Colors where several professional(and to me legendary illustrators) contribute with illustrations and showcase their creative process. I really recommend it for those of you who are interested in art.

Hope you enjoy my recommendations ^^
Loved that Concept Ships site and its sister sites for a while now, but thanks to everyone for the additional recommendations! Warren wrote: "Heck if I want a crime ridden city with rotten weather

William Gibson did an interview with the Paris Review where the interviewer noted Gibson's Sprawl trilogy is often called dystopian, and he responded, "Well, maybe if you’re some middle-class person from the Midwest...[t]he world is filled with much nastier places than my inventions."
These sort of time laps video are excellent.http://vimeo.com/57130400
Many of these would be great cover art for a paperback-

Both the scifi and fantasy art are good.
Although it seems to me that the scifi art is a bit stronger.
Perhaps it's just that the scifi art is more detailed.
Folks may not want their fantasies in high res.
I never noticed before but I think your right about the fantasy art not being high res like Scifi...
IGN's 25 best scifi posters of all time-http://goo.gl/e5VwA
It's a good selection.
The movies weren't always as good as the posters
but that's the not artist fault.
I was looking for artwork of imaginary airships. I like the concept for this one but wasn't very impressed with the workmanship; http://goo.gl/Q0QlW(smile)
Since we're doing Wool next, I thought I'd post this link.If you get a chance , definitely visit the Stockholm subway.
It's like walking onto the set of a science fiction novel.
