Greeting all, Are there any suggestions for Chris Foss-style spaceships for gaming? C'mon TMP Brain Trust, you're my only hope! Regards,
Keith F. |

I've previously posed the same question… |

Meaning this? TMP link Not particular ships, but I think some of Zandris IV are evocative. link Maybe some OrcDef from Studio Bergstrom? link Not seeing any Stellar Cow. Doug |

Doug, you clever man! Those are spot-on for what I'm looking for – evocative – and it's not a TTA game. Once they perfect cyber-cookies, you get one. : ) Best regards,

Take a look on Shapeways. There are quite a few Homeworld-ish fleets which are rather TTA looking in nature. |

Who is Chris Foss and what is TTA? |

Chris Foss = Illustrator/Commercial Artist. TTA = Terran Trade Authority. |

@Alien57: Google image search "Chris Foss spaceships". He did the art used for the covers of the Asimov novels and anthologies I read in the 80s. Once you see the art, you will probably know it. Homeworld certainly borrowed certain aspects of the aesthetics. |

Chhris`s work was last seen in the Traveller RPG in its 4th edition.
A lot of it was reused old material but I think he did do some original artwork for the then publisher as well.
Not sure what he did afterwards. |

Homeworld also borrowed styles of decoration from the other great British artist Peter Elson – peterelson.co.uk |

ANother great British artist… ;->= The cover art TTA books collected from was wide, various, and, I thought, mostly anonymous. I was interested to find that Boris Vallejo did some spaceships, and wouldn't be surprised if he's included somewhere. Doug |

I always preferred Peter Elson to Foss though of course they both have immense talent. But Elson was a huge influence on me |
