With the launch of Spacecraft 2100 to 2200 AD [link] finally underway it's time to show a peek at some of the artwork Vulne Pro's team did on the RPG book that is to follow. My Studio partner Jeff Lilly wrote a good deal of the material in Spacecraft so even though none of the art we did is in there (all artwork by the talented 3D modeler Adrian Mann) you folks should check it out anyway, it's pretty cool.
A Nomad industrial complex ship. This is based somewhat on 2 paintings (both by Jim Burns) from the original Spacecraft 2000 to 2100 AD publication from 1978. I simply merged elements from both of them to create this piece. With Morrigan having secured the rights to reproduce the original paintings but not reprint them we were often tasked with basing the new material on the originals and that was pretty cool as I grew up with the original book in my collection This illo was fun to do as I cracked out an old technique I used to do often, coating the illustration with polyurethane to give it an artificial aging. Intended to be a half page illo, I believe, in the pending TTA RPG publication.

Thanks man. Always was in business, just couldn't post most of it due to non disclosure agreements There's gonna be a flood of new Theos art coming soon though, so expect more mechs, props, vehicles, etc.
Jim Burns would be proud! I love this!
Well done!!
