Devious WC3 Box Art Recreated (November 10, 2009)

[ChrisReid]

JimSam-X has remade the Wing Commander 3 box art in a fantastic new way. He's made cartoon caricatures of the game's Wing Commander 2 counterparts and translated them across. The Dralthi and Longbow remain about the same, and blonde Paladin and Tolwyn's white dress uniform are a particularly nice touch. DeviantArt members should leave Jim a comment here.

My attempt to recreate the box Art of one of the most epic games ever, Wing Commander III: Heart of the Tiger!

If you are a hardcore WC fan you'll probably notice that I didn't try to draw Mark Hamill and the rest of the stars of that FMV game! The character design is based more on their old 2D counterparts from the older games of the franchise (hence, Bluehair protagonist ). I also made a slight change and the hero, Blair, is not accompanied by the girls of Wing Commander 3, but from my own versions of Angel & Spirit

Hope you like it!

It's great! Only thing is that trakhath does not look evil enough, just a little mean.

I really like this. It really links the feel of the WC2 characters with the WC3 scenery.

Ooooh... now that is a neat piece of art. Very pretty.

Very very cool. Always nice to see an interesting piece of WC art!

Wow, that's nice!

That's great ! I enjoyed the way you drew Angel and Spirit, truly the way I saw'em.

Do you have other artworks we can look at (WC-related or other) ?

Looks a little too anime-ish but still retro, nice job.
