Now that 2300AD is a done deal...but future supplements will need art...what do we want to see...just as there is a thread for Traveller...2300AD ought to have its own...to guide artists and inspire Referees

I would like to add most of late 70 -early 80 scifi movies. Bute there are quite a few gems in recent releases too.

Outlander (81):





More coming up

Moon, recent niceness. A bit too clean and tidy IMHO, but still OK:

Well,

To any critics that my renders aren't '2300AD-ish' enough, take a peek at this...

 

[Wil Mireu]

Put a picture of the Pleiades (or part of them at least) behind that, and you've sold a copy of the book.

 

[jwlovell]

Done. Just hit refresh.

Better, but why are they so dark? These are bright, young blue stars! That ship should be bathed in their actinic glare!

Can you add the stars in artistically rather than using a photo? (i.e. use the photo as a base, and add 'hand-made' stars to the image manually)

(and don't blame dustclouds for the dimness. They don't block that much light in the Pleiades)

I did this as a quick lunch break project. Perfection I'll have to leave to the paying jobs.

Ships in space, THE reference artwork style:

Ahem, back to more art...nice Bayern, btw....

Core city downtown. Yes, I know the early 2300AD stuff was supposedly a bit more rose tainted than this, but I like the bladerunner version of the urban RPG-future a lot better and I think it suits 2300AD perfectly. Maybe not Traveller standard issue, but 2300AD, yes.

Hi,

I think those are all really good examples( especially the blimp), but to be honest I kind of feel the the Star City image looks a bit too far future for what I always thought 2300AD might be like and the sub seems to be a bit more "fiction"-y than "science" to me.

Obviously something made it impossible for the designer to
be present during the Hydrodynamics 101 lessons ... :shock:

 

[Pentapod earplug]

Agree with above. Also, the nice bright picture of a starship launch/overhaul scene is a bit too buck-rogers-rocket-1950's for my taste.

 

[Pentapod earplug]

If you could see what I have seen with your eyes. A provolution stash?

Core City view. Not too wildly space opera futuristic.

 

[middenface]

Guffaw...

^^ Very nice - we take two of these ...

Ok Wil, how's the stars looking now?
