THE BLACK HOLE (1979) kickstarted Disney's 'Dark Phase' with beautiful spaceships, cool robots, Anthony Perkins getting shredded, and an existential nightmare of an ending in which the good guys go to heaven and the bad guys go to hell. I adore it.

@rwxdesigns @timecaptales Not a storyboard, it isn’t concept art either— it’s a matte painting; acrylic on glass with areas left transparent for action to show through. You can see the spaces on the hanger and landing pad shots. There are plenty of books on the subject and the docu-series on Disney

@timecaptales Not entirely.. The set for that scene was built at Pinewood and had real people in Stormtrooper outfits. They used a mix of optical effects and live action. A lot of scenes were painted for storyboarding first before putting it into practice.

Before CGI, Star Wars scenes were painted completely by hand

WTF is TGJones?! Good god; a worse rebrand than Zavvi. There was a time when Smiths supplied my art gear, games, mags, books, music, et-fucking-cetera. End of an era. For a commission representing computer mags, I dug into the experience of browsing the shelves at Smiths for this

@ScarredForLife2 I started getting the prog soon as I could buy it myself (end of the Apocalypse War), read a friend’s copy of this shortly afterwards. This was absolute nightmare fuel, needless to say I had to own my own copy. 1978 has some grim imagery but nothing as relentlessly bleak as this

The first 2000 AD Christmas annual (1977) gave me the fear when I was 7. Ultraviolence, animal attacks (Shako, the only bear on the CIA hit list!), and bleak endings galore! (1/2)

I love old ruins and it's nice to start some painting again. This is part of Kenilworth Castle. My visit is bound to inform some future pixelling too. #oilpainting #ruins #retro

@DimensionDutch Similar here, but tried watercolour and discovered that a decent round brush is as good as a super fine 000 wargame brush, I’m screwed 🙂 Acrylic ground under oils is a thing, remember fat over lean. Oils for alla prima appeal to me. Drying time, fumes and chemicals though 🫤

Acrylic on plywood ^8x12” size. Based on an old (!) c64 pic. Not happy with the lighting, forms or the reflections. Leaving as-is as a reminder to do better ref and prep. Nice to do something that’s not a portrait or landscape. Good to get back to it after a 6 month break.

@DimensionDutch Not sure I would ever be able to go full impressionist, can’t resist tiny details- that said, on a few of my pics my favourite areas are the spots with the least work. No expert on oils but I get the feeling that if one wants to do impressionist, you may as well go with acrylic

@roblevy101 Cool! Been looking into Oils myself. Nice loose and impressionist... away from the ever tempting details. I hope you keep us posted with your progress.

@DimensionDutch Need to work much, much larger and generally looser. Want to get into Airbrush next year. Oils class tomorrow, just to get an idea.

@DimensionDutch I’ve considered more, but don’t rate my stuff from way back as-is Using up my Windsor and Newton tubes/mediums (Galeria and pro) split primaries; opaque/trans cols & a few convenience mixes. Messing with Liquitex inks. Will prob restock with Golden.
