Impressive, most impressive.

I love the work he has done on the Star Destroyer designs, but his take on EU Imperial Starfighters really takes the biscuit, the Gunboat is one of my fave EU ships in need of a 21st century makeover and his vision for that craft is spot on, as are his depictions of the TIE Defender and Scimitar Bomber (another of my EU faves), really excellent work.

cool

Stunning, simply stunning.

I love his Imperial Customs Corvette too, very nice work on a medium sized capital ship, fantastic attention to detail.

Some of his super class Star Destroyer designs are beautiful too, check out the detail shots of the Imperial Star Dreadnought Wrath, Assertor-class with fully realised hanger areas and the works. Well worth a look.

Re: Impressive, most impressive.

That is seriously amazing, when are they being implemented into FS?

Re: Impressive, most impressive.

These are simply awesome, although I'm not sure all of them are canon. Like the AT-SE...

Re: Impressive, most impressive.

No, a few of them are his own design, such as the AT-SE and his variations on the Star Destroyer designs, a lot of them are very faithful interpretations of EU craft though, such as the Gunboat, Scimitar and Customs Corvette.

Re: Impressive, most impressive.

In case you are not already aware, Fractalsponge's work has gone officially canon in the most fantastic way, he has been commissioned to produce artwork for a new Star Wars book which has just been released, The Essential Guide to Warfare. This features a lot of his custom ISD designs as well as other specific ships that he has been tasked with building such as Star Destroyers from other eras. This is just fantastic and couldn't happen to a more deserving chap. Check out these images, great work to be sure. Will have to go and buy the book now.
