Star Wars

Here is an illustration I did last year for Edge of Darkness, the first deluxe expansion for Star Wars™: The Card Game. The best thing about it? I got to paint the coolest bounty hunter in the Galaxy! Here is Boba Fett as he is escaping from the belly of the Sarlacc, blowing it up in the process. BADASSSS!!! 

"The sarlacc found me somewhat indigestible."

Syd Mead talking about Blade Runner

Saw this over on James Gurney's blog , so I had to post it. Here is one the greatest designers of all time, talking about his work on the greatest sci-fi movie: Blade Runner. Just think that this guy is responsible, in one way or another, for what we see in all sci-fi movies nowadays.

Not only did Syd Mead do a great job on Blade Runner (and Aliens, and Tron :D), but he succeeded in developing a visual language that people expect to see in all the sci-fi productions that followed after it.

So have a look at this video, but most importantly listen carefully to what he says, as you may find some clues to his design process. Cheers!

Elder

Been very caught up with work this past few weeks, but I finally found some time to mess around with some personal stuff. I hope you enjoy it. Cheers!
