The first header image is taken from the recently released “Tekkonkinkreet“.
It’s based on the popular Japanese manga written by Taiyo Matsumoto. Directed by Canadian Michael Arias, the film was made using Softimage’s XSI software. (Arias used to be a developer for Softimage.)
I made a few observations about the backgrounds artwork on my own blog, here, and Luc Desmarchelier wrote some useful facts in the comment box. (He currently works for Sony Imageworks)
