Wow. My interest suddenly went from almost non-traceable to pretty high.

Is this concept art? I like the realistic instead of stylized look of the graphics.

Pre rendered.  Going to look great. 

Yes, but isn't there also some artist painting being done afterwards? Because I can't see any pixels even in the 2560x1440 version of the screen and in the project page it says:

"Early on in the Kickstarter campaign, we told you that we wanted to make maps the Infinity Engine way. That is, we wanted to build 3D levels, render them out as 2D images, and then have our artists paint in beautiful details, highlights, and color-tweaks before they went into the game."

Wouldn't this suggest that the artists finalize an image by painting stuff over the rendered 2D picture? At least at this point in development.
