Famous Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava is a big influence on many game designers we noticed, including the team that created the Mass Effect game trilogy as you can see by the Earth Alliance concept art.

Japanese artist Katsuya Terada - known to me previously only for his late 80's Zelda illustrations - sold out last year in a rare US solo-exhibit. Reportedly most of the larger pieces were bought by the president of Nike.
These amazing black and white drawings were made with a simple black marker and I lust to have one :) You can see all the work here: http://www.compoundgallery.com/Artist/index.php?main_page=artist&cid=42

The Designers Republic for Wipeout series (first game released by Psygnosis for Playstation and MS-DOS in 1995).
One of the best collaborations between a graphic design studio and a game developer.
