This is the type of artwork we should see in Traveller materials

[Supplement Four]

Stumbled across this tonight. This is the type of thing that should be in a modern-era Traveller source book.

This type of stuff is awesome. You just look at it, and it makes you want to play the game.

No doubt. But do you realize the time and work involved in producing images like that? There is a reason you don't see much of it in RPGs. Cost. If you can find me a 3d artist who will work at our standard rates that can do this kind of work, I'll be happy to give him some business!

Cost is always an issue. I understand the business side.

Thought: This dude produced these images for his own amusement (and to our delight). Maybe he'd license them to you cheap since they're already completed?

I was looking at the page those are from but didn't see any contact info for him.

(And you should have just linked to the site rather than steal bandwidth displaying them here )

E-Mail Jeff Zeitlin at Freelance Traveller. I bet Jeff can get in touch with him for you.

It is the kind of stuff that would be cool, but I still want deckplans!

S4, those are very cool. One thing, though: How well does this kind of art reproduce a) in black-and-white, b) on the page? I like Jesse de Graff's GT art, but it looks much better on his website than in the books. Digital seems to work best on the screen.

PS: While we're at it, there's of course this Japanese website... old hat to most I guess, but not to all. I'm partial to the Close Escort:

Does that carpet go with that sofa?

That's exactly what she's thinking ...

Those cutaways are truly beautiful...the amount of work that must have gone into that is phenomenal...although I'm not sure about the wooden table and chairs they look a bit incongrous. The japanese ones are phenomenal.

Then again, call me old fashioned, but I still prefer hand drawn line drawings in traveller adventures. Photorealism makes me use my imagination less and just doesn't feel 'traveller'.

CG works well with ships and landscapes, but CG people still just look wrong... And they tend to all look the same too. Give me drawn (even if digitally drawn) figures any day.

Very nice. Every ship should have an air rock
