The first piece of concept art from Valve’s highly-anticipated shooter Half-Life 2 Episode 3 has been revealed as part of Into the Pixel’s 2008 art showcase. A team effort, the piece was illustrated by talented Valve artists Ted Backman, Jeremy Bennett, and Tristan Reidford.

Interestingly, ITP’s site lists Episode 3 as a multiplatform title for PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3. However, Valve, for its part, has yet to officially announce platform specifics. Additionally, the company has explicitly stated that the third installment in the Half-Life 2 saga will not make an appearance at this year’s E3.
