Description Hi there

This is a collection of some of the illustrations I provided for Star Wars: Starships of the Galaxy for Wizards of the Coast's role playing game manual.

Ships are obviously not to scale with each other...

Nice! I especially like the far left lower image, with it's similarity to Buck Rogers starfighter from the show with Gil Gerard. The TIE fighter-like lower right is a nice twist. Keep it up, Sir.

Just wondering, have you ever done or do, any traditional art?

francis001 In reply to Fatius [2008-06-16 16:10:49 +0000 UTC]

oh sure - mostly pencil, pen, watercolors or markers. I never really did much painting with oils or acrylics although I would like to sit down and try some day.

That'd be cool, you should post something. I ws just wondering, cause people who are good at one form of art tend to be good at others. And I've never known someone who used photoshop before drawing, so I figured you probably did some... once upon a time!

Very cool. Did you use gauche, watercolor or some other medium to paint these?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

francis001 In reply to Hungrysparrow [2008-06-05 16:08:05 +0000 UTC]

no, the painting is just some texture overlays over regular photoshop brush painting. the line art was done with pencil/pens though.

Beautiful...I recognise some of those ships! You should check out one of the X-Wing / TIE-Fighter games, they have an extensive library of ships built based on all the films and books. There's a lot to see!
