I was wanting to get some artwork published by
ADB/SFB but they never purchased any of my ink artworks back in the early 1980s. Back then, I was a college student who loved wargames and role-playing games. Be it
AD&D, Traveller, or
Star Fleet Battles.
I recently uncovered some of these artworks and had a friend scan them for me and they have now been uploaded to my
Deviant Art gallery. See the links blow. On that website, I go by the handle of
"Darth-Deviant."
These efforts were first done in light pencil, then I went back over the lines with ink.
Then movies like
Star Wars came out followed by on tv such programs like
Battlestar Galactica and
Buck Rogers. It was a great time to be a fan of science fiction space opera.
