Nice artwork

[FlightCommanderSolitude]

I found a website by a guy who's an illustrator, he's done some nice stuff reminiscent of Traveller:

Such as:

Beautiful. Too bad he wasn't used for the T20 book...

Ah yes, Sparth. You should see some of the stuff he posts on the art forums I frequent.

I think traveller could use an art overhaul, although I wouldn't want to lose the classic adventure, industrial future-tech feel, perhaps some nice digital paintings and a rework of the Vargr look. Right now the Vargr look too much like men in dog suits.

I'd love to...please post the URLs here!

Personally I really enjoy concept-art style illustrations. Here's another artist whose portfolio I enjoyed looking through:

You can find some of his work, and countless other great artists on these forums:

Specifically, take a look at the Speedpainting Topics I-IV under the "Gallery/Finished Work" section. You can find a lot of concept style fast paintings.

This board doesn't see as much action, but it has its share of posters:

hi all!

new to these parts and the game. like what i've seen so far (on both counts).

i thought you guys might enjoy this site, the work of an l.a. based graphic artist that's a friend of a friend's. i particularly enjoy his vehicle, droid and creature designs.

enjoy,
jimmy corrigan

Yes, ever since someone gave a me a copy of "Sparky's Comics" years ago. He's doing a huge mural on Valencia Street for a store/workshop between 19th and 20th I think. It hasn't been colored yet but the lines are there, I can't wait to see it when it's done.

WOW!

that is wonderful! i'll be sure to check it out. thanks for the heads up. (i had the pleasure of meeting him a couple of years back at a lecture/signing at the cartoon art museum in sf--he was really nice and down to earth.)

out of curiousity, who do you play traveller with? do you have a regular group? i am new to traveller and am looking for a group to play with in the bay area. if your group is full, could you possibly direct me to another local group who could use a soon-to-be unemployed, soon-to-be 25 years old college graduate?

thanks muchly,
corrigan.

Sadly, the Flight Commander lacks time to play much of anything these days, I'm just a huge Traveller fan.

There is, however, a recruiting office forum where you might find some people; also, there's a Traveller-in-SF group at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TravellerinSF/ which is probably your best hook-up.

Happy Travelling!

thanks again, flight commander.
