Introducing the Kublai Khan, mercenary ship.
By the way, we know for years that one of the early inspirations for this game was Rey's wanderings through the wrecks of Jakku in The Force Awakens (2015).
And I think it's beautiful.
Despicable Me (2010): Gru's Airship, art by Aurélien Predal
@Cakes_Comics @PlayHumbleGames @bulwarkStudios @KasedoGames The game reminds me of a serious Startopia.
Coming in 20222. I'm ready.
Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy (2021): Concept art
Let's go, say the artists' names please.
"Fire up Star-Lord’s jet boots for a wild ride across the cosmos in this third-person action-adventure game, a fresh take on Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy. With the unpredictable Guardians at your side, blast your way from one explosive situation to another".
“We’ve known for a while that if and when we do something else, it would be science fiction. There were no other names [we considered]. It had to be ‘Starfield.'”
There are 4 concept art on WaPo and NO CREDITS. Shame!
I need to know more about the artists.
Star Wars (1977): Han & Chewie, early art by Ralph McQuarrie
“George [Lucas] sort of liked this Chewbacca, but he thought it could be a little weirder,”
It inspired, way later, the Lasat species design in SW RPG (1988), as "Zeb" Orrelios' in Star Wars Rebels (2014-2018).
Legendary conceptual designer, mattepainter and illustrator Ralph McQuarrie (1929-2012) was born 92 years ago today. A talented and visionary artist, we are all on the shoulders of this giant.
Expect more tweets about his work today.
