Shall we have a Ralph McQuarrie concept art thread? Feel free to add not only McQuarrie's pieces but other *CONCEPT* art as well.
Should count
>>6957610
Definitely does! Please continue! Love the Tolkein themed art!
I really love how McQuarrie, was able to continue his drawing all the way up to the new prequels...
dat golden god
This one looks really really accurate..not sure if it was drawn *after* the movie and when the design was already created
>>6957691
I always loved this shot of the Falcon..so lonely and depressingly cold looking..
>>6958051
This one is really neat. I can only assume this is an Imperial Bridge, it looks like somethign that's way too fancy and expensive for rebel scum to afford.
>>6958055
Again I like how he was doing work even for the prequels.. OPening scene of Episode I here...
>>6958073
Not McQuarrie, but one of his protege's I believe...
not McQuarrie, but similar. Syd Mead
and some John Berkey

Have these been used for anything? Book covers or movies? looks sort of familiar....
Here's some Droidekas!!
>>6958153
he helped out on 2001, and did some poster and book art for the original SW trilogy. Mainly known for book covers.
>>6958196
these are more phone screen res
>>6958196
This one is gorgeous...
>>6958153
This McQuarrie one is pretty iconic..Very interesting perspective
>>6958215
>>6958224
I know this one is sort of stretching it in terms of 'concept art' it probably was painted after the final design was used...buuuut I like it anyway
>>6958271
>>6958283
The beautiful cloud city!!
>>6958409
>>6958420
Force awakens?
>>6958431
hmm... sometimes, hard to say this is concept, rather than just art of a particular scene...
Bacta Tank scene... So that's Leia in the forefront, and I can only assume, that's Han to the left..

Awesome! Thanks mate! Though gotta say, sort of jealous that it sort of steals my thunder as I was going to post most of these...
>>6958446
hmm not sure who/what the short creature is supposed to me..
>>6958482
I'm back for a bit. You know, the more and more I see Ralph McQuarrie art from the prequels... it sourt of makes me appreciate the prequels more and more...
>>6959055
>>6957683
Jar Jar looks so...funky here lol
>>6959193
Lol, so for this one, is the Emperor's throne room supposed to be in a lavapit? what's the point of that McQuarrie?!
As a kid back in the seventies Ralph's art was a big part of my SW adoration, as was that John Berkey foldout of the Death Star attack. I think that was included in the movie score LP. Man I ate up everything SW for a few years back then.
Heh, One from the Novel and TV series the Expanse.
>>6959249
who hasn't eaten up everything SW at one point? To a young boy, it can be really magical...
>>6959254
One of the more classic ones
>>6959256
Target the shield generators!
>>6959262
Easily one of my favorites... The Ion Cannon should have seen more screen time..there's only like one shot of it int he movies...
I don't have any pics, but here's an interview with one of the artists working on starwars (ian mccaig) that i always liked https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNu4xzHTP60
>>6959682

Inner core of one of the "Ships" in the Expanse. It's more like a moving, habitable, and self sustaining world.
>>6960353
The Rocinante!
>>6959920
And nothing of value was lost....
>>6960557
Another one of his classics

>>6957612
Is that Trump?
>>6962538
No, it was white with green grass and blue skies
Hmm it's a bit hard to tell, what technically is "concept" art and what is just painted in that style..
Here's one of K2SO
Concept art of that snake monster thing from the Avengers movie
>>6964352
Some non-Star Wars concept art inbound
