Original Art
Alpha
From the card came Wing Commander, commissioned and published by Margaret Weis & Tracy Hickman, 1995. One of the most striking cards of the 12 I did, it is one of the last astronomicals left in my archives. I had to recreate the art, as the scan brought up the printed pixels too much (very small image), so it is a digital version of the original trad. version. Part of a series that includes Alpha, Beta, Delta, Gamma, and Epsilon.
Beta
From the card game Wing Commander, commissioned and published by Tracy Hickman & Margaret Weis, 1995 Part of a last offering of astronomical works in the archive, a simple rendering for mood in the game... Gouache on Masonite, photoshop finishing.
Capture Pilot
From the card game Wing Commander, commissioned and published by Tracy Hickman & Margaret Weis, 1994. A "Luck" card (in this case bad luck) capturing an opposing pilot from a destroyed fighter. Gouache on masonite.
Epsilon
From the card game "Wing Commander", commissioned and published by Tracy Hickman & Margaret Weis, 1995. The original idea in the commissioned game. This was also used as the background for https://www.deviantart.com/alangutierrezart/art/Stranded-sketch-2-736178955 And as part of other concept sketches for the "Stranded" book. Gouache on masonite with Photoshop enhancement.

Gamma
From the card game Wing Commander, commissioned and published by Margaret Weis & Tracy Hickman, 1995 Part of the 12 illustrated works, and one of two more I mustered up for the last astronomicals in my archive, for mood... Gouache on Masonite w/photoshop finishing
Kilrathi Capture Pilot
From the card game "Wing Commander", commissioned and published by Margaret Weis & Tracy Hickman, 1995 This Kilrathi is none too happy at being captured, and is one of 4 "Luck" cards I did, showing 2 of each adversary. Gouache on masonite.
Kilrathi Recovery Pilot
From the card game "Wing Commander" commissioned and published by Margaret Weis & Tracy Hickman, 1995 One of 4 "Luck" cards of "recovery" and "capture" pilots of adversaries in the game. Gouache on Masonite.
Magnum Launch
From the card game "Wing Commander" commissioned and published by Tracy Hickman & Margaret Weis, 1995 A "Luck" card, it was the launching of the "Arrow" fighter, and used again for "X Wing Fighter Scramble" Edit: This may have came before the "X Wing" art (presumably). But since I'm not sure when that commission happened, It could be Magnum Launch as the original...
X Wing Fighter Scramble
Minefield!
From the Wing Commander card game, commissioned and published by Tracy Hickman and Margaret Weis, 1995 This is the combination of 2 traditionally painted works, "Minefield", and "Skillful Use Of Missile Decoys" from the game. Since I had the original scan from "Minefield", I digitally added the ship (unscanned and had to be digitally restored from the printed card) to present this new variation. Top half gouache on Masonite.

Nebula 2
From the card game "Wing Commander" commissioned and published by Tracy Hickman & Margaret Weis, 1994 Last of the Wing Commander art. Second of 2 Nebulas, the first; https://www.deviantart.com/alangutierrezart/art/Nebula-756876557 Gouache on masonite.

Pulsar
Commissioned by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman 1996, for the card came "Wing Commander" I did about 10 small illustrations for the card game, with various celestial effects, that might affect the outcome of the game. This was the only one I ever scanned from the original art. It's been many years, but my understanding is that a collapsed star-burnt out and becoming more dense, emits electromagnetic radiation (the blue streaks) and, spins very fast, with the light (the eruption in orange) "pulsing" as it spins. There may be other more accurate depictions, but this was done just for fun, so I'm not interested in the specifics. Just the wonder of outer space... Gouache on masonite, 7" x 10"
Recovery Pilot
From the card game "Wing Commander" commissioned and published by Tracy Hickman & Margaret Weis, 1994 A grateful pilot rescued in a "luck" card. Gouache on masonite board.
