Description


Hey there, one and all. I was contacted by the publisher of Epic Age Media who needed a fast turnaround for some illustrations for an RPG supplement he's putting together for his game, Galaxy Prime. The book is a 6x9 inch b&w collection of adventures/scenarios for the game. So, I'm quickly creating five or six b&w illustrations that will (I think) run opposite the title of each adventure (in other words, there will be a full-page illo at the start of each "chapter"). Because of the time crunch, the publisher was practically giddy because I already had some sci-fi art "in the can" as concept drawings for a sci-fi comic I'm working on. Since these had not been printed before, he happily agreed to use two or three of the illustrations I already had ready to go. So, with a few tweaks, here's a reworking of another illustration you'll find in my gallery. As you can see, I made some modifications to the previous one, mainly adding a circle motif for the background. My reasoning behind this was simple and twofold: 1. A smaller background means less work and a faster turnaround. 2. It just looks cool! By having the ship burst out of the circle, it instantly adds more energy, movement and a greater sense of depth. Keep your eyes peeled, sci-fi fanatics! I've got more illos (and a cover) on the way! [Created in Poser Pro 11 and Clip Studio Paint: Space Background based on a royalty-free photo from NASA]

This is great! There is a nice Space:1999 vibe to the craft and the angle it is flying at. The speedlines are appropriate for warp speed. And I have always been a sucker for "out-of-bounds" style illustrations ever since I saw Bob Ross use contact paper on canvas to create artwork with a built-in oval frame. I am sure the publisher is happy with your work and wish the project success!

Hey man, thanks! Yeah, he really likes the look of this one. (And thanks for the Space: 1999 nod: that was something I had in mind when I created this ship. I'm a big fan of that show.)

I don't do much painting, but the last time I did I had a lot of fun using blue painter's tape to mask out some cool shapes to create some nice, open negative space.

Works very well. Seems to have quite the dynamic feel to it, and it's really nice to see your work on that kitbash put to good use. 👍

Thanks! Yeah, the Kitbashing was fun, but I only got half finished with it before other projects and deadlines took over. It is definitely nice to see those efforts put to good use.
