These ships were a lot of fun to design. LOTS of other ships coming up on the next post, which will be a double spread!!
Just as a random art process note, I will often have something I know I will want to play with that I don’t want to trouble my colorist with having to figure out. In this case, I knew I’d want some sort of light deco on the fighters to add some color, but I didn’t know what that would be, so I didn’t ask Wes to do it. He just colored the ships in their various shades of gray (which came out great!), and once I had the files, I just did some deco pattern passes until I settled on one I liked.
Don’t mind me, just admiring the visuals.
That’s no moon… It’s a delicatessen!
