Tim Lawrence, the concept artist who worked with David Twohy, was nice enough to send over a handful of cool images from the movie. Be sure to click on the small images to see the larger versions.
If you're unfamiliar with what concept art is, then this is how it works... Typically, the first thing that's created for a movie is a script. Sometimes this script provides information on some of the visuals, but just as often the script focuses on story, events, and dialogue. The eyecandy comes later.
Once the script is in order, then the director sits down with a concept artist in order to start putting together the look of the film. As you can see from the pictures below, this included coming up with ideas for locations, items, and creatures. Then the images go off to the people designing sets and props, to actually build the things.
Restraint Chair: From the image: "Killer Restraint System". Riddick's cryolocker in the movie made a lot more sense.
Beamrider interior: A cool picture of what the interior of the beamrider cargo/passenger ship was going to look like, with cryolockers high up on the walls. And an 'apeture' (look at the bottom right) for the monkeys flying it, apparently!
Beamrider interior: Interesting to see the evolution of the cryolocker designs.
Skiff: The skiff from the abandoned outpost, complete with two guys repairing the holes in the 'vectran'.
Spires: an image of the predator spires, complete with Paris and that damn umbrella of his!
Valley: shows one more person than was actually still there by this point, but who's counting
Whale: So that's what those damn skeletons were supposed to be!
