The Art of War

FROM: Rear Admiral Tolwyn, CINCWEAPONSDIVISION
DATE: 2009.04.12

For this week's update, we would like to share a sneak peek into the visual style of the art that will be featured in the Wing Commander Saga manual. These blueprints were prepared by our junior member Flanker and are designed to have a crisp, clean, technical appearance, much as you would expect to find in a Jane's manual, while also having a slight hint of World War 2 artwork in homage to the historical time period upon which Wing Commander is based. Check out the sketches below!

Yes No Possible =) We released these before we did a final Q&A check. Rest assured, if we release these as wallpapers or use them in game material we\'ll first make sure we got the data right :)
I also just noticed on one graphics the Paktahn\'s tip is cut off. We\'ll correct that =)

Yes No Stunning stuff! Any change we could see more of these, and from different angles? Modelling is one of my hobbies, and I\'ve built several WC ships from balsa wood already. Drawings like these would be worth their weight in gold to me!

Yes No Are you going to release a set of images like the ones provided in fan fold format in the WC3 box?

Yes No @Herr_Koos: we *could* provide you with wireframe renders. These aren\'t exactly as pretty as these artworks, but they should suffice for what you had in mind

@Light: it is a possibility. Current plan is to use them as background in the manual.

Yes No Thank for the reply. I am looking forward to Saga as I just managed to get FS2 and its mod working properly on my new system.
