Making the Games: The Shadow Force - Mercenaries (October 26, 2008)

Long Live the Confederation!
This is the thirteenth set of Feng Zhu concept artwork pieces. Unlike the previous sets, the origin of these is clear: they are the characters developed for Wing Commander: Shadow Force, an aborted follow-up to Secret Ops. This second half of the cast seems to consist of merecnaries, privateers and other shady characters. They're a bit more varied than the Confederation crew... and occasionally a good bit sexier.

Oh...I see potential in adopting these characters for WC:RPG. Would be one hell of a squad. Eat your heart out Final Fantasy.
 
...already grabbed 'em and the design doc too; no worries. :D

Compared to the design doc, Feng Zhu's versions of the ladies are a bit tame, I must say...

Eat your heart out Final Fantasy, indeed. With all due respect to the artist - as far as Wing Commander concepts are concerned, these are amongst the most awful things I've ever seen.

There's a couple of unmade Wing Commander games where, after reading through the design docs, I kinda breathed a sigh of relief that they never got anywhere. Shadow Force is definitely one of them. The game concept is ok, I guess, but the character design - what on Earth were they thinking, bringing this kind of nonsense into the WC universe?
