Star Wars (1977): Art by Ralph McQuarrie.
Reminder: Cloud City's design origin predates The Empire Strikes Back (1980), as this artwork features Alderaan's imperial prison as it is described in an earlier version of the SW script. With a Colin Cantwell early TIE design 🔥
First thing I did with @midjourney is to reimagine TROS' ending for the Reylo in me:
"Ben Solo marries Rey on Naboo in the style of Ralph McQuarrie"

Proto #LolaDroid vibes with this concept design by Ralph McQuarrie for Batteries Not Included (1987). #RalphMcQuarrie #ConceptArt
STAR WARS art by Ralph McQuarrie, born on this day in 1929.
What if. Obi climbs out of the ocean hole & instead of knocking the Stormie out he steals his armor. He’s undercover but then sheds the helmet and is wielding his saber giving us an “alt version” of his General Kenobi armor. This also nods at McQuarrie w/ troopers w/ sabers.
@NateLyon_Artist "ThAt'S wHaT pHoToS aRe FoR" Yeah okay let me just go snap some pHoToS of Luke Skywalker fighting a rancor or a spaceship docked in a hangar. Oh! And maybe some aliens while I'm at it!

Thinking about Ralph McQuarrie’s amazing designs for Vader’s castle and the Leigh Brackett draft where Darth feeds his lovely pet gargoyles out of a gold bowl.

DID YOU KNOW? Fortress Vader, located in the volcanic planet Mustafar, was created after unused Ralph McQuarrie sketches for Episode V, The design team for Rogue One gave the castle a tuning fork shape, to suggest its tuning to the dark side. #StarWars #DarthVader
Can anyone recommend any films (or specific artists) that produce(d) really interesting / unusual concept art?
