Kick Off 2018 With Some Slick Sketches (January 2, 2018)

[ChrisReid]

Arne from Android Arts is currently putting together some awesome Wing Commander sketches. He started with an Exeter and has drawn a contemporary flotilla around it. There's also a gun mockup and fighter concept art, plus a really cute 'Dralthi Commander' diskette. All of the little fine details are really endearing. These are still works in progress, and you can find the latest on Twitter.

#WingCommander 1 ship redesigns. I used to really enjoy this on the Amiga, but it was also frustrating to replay missions after an enemy ace slipped away (or asteroid field collisions) (or failed escort duty).

I've known Arne since my days with the Starflight III project; I've always been really impressed with his artwork and conceptual designs. His Starflight-based holiday greeting from...'07, I think?... was pretty cool as well. I'll have to see if I still have it lying around somewhere.

Very neat! I especially like the Exeter with the flotilla around it. They seem to be to scale?

Cool, very cool.
