Absolutely nailing that MGS visual style, love the old-school inverted duplicate of the hallway for the reflections.

So I'm really burnt out and I've got some vital bills coming up very soon. I don't have much time to put out new models with my commission work, so I'm doing a sale!
20% off BOTH Instructions and Part Kits, through Oct 20th! Use code "OCT25"

I seldom do but only because I'm old enough to have learned without them, and then when working was taught not to rely on them to keep models as software agnostic as possible, in case of programs not having them implemented the same. But I should use them more, they're not dangerous to use yourself.

I'm RJ, a 3D Artist with a love for stylised environments and props.
I'm still aiming to find my first break into the games industry though it has been a rough year.
Would deeply appreciate any guidance from fellow devs ๐

A screencap from Death Note's anime (2006) showing L's back in front of a computer, monitor, mouse and keyboard on the ground.
A thin flatscreen fullscreen Apple monitor with curved clear plastic edges and legs from the early 2000s.
A photo of an Apple Optical Pro Mouse from the early 2000s. It was black inside of a thick clear plastic shell, and had a red light on the underside. It only had one mouse button iirc
A photo of a PowerMac G4 "Mirrored Drive Doors" model, a sweet futuristic curvy metal and plastic PC case, with curving carrying handles doubling as feet that lift it off the ground. There is a large transparent plastic apple logo on the side. The front's design is marred a bit by an access panel made of white opaque plastic, which earlier G4 designs didn't have.
Random fun Death Note trivia- I recognize all of L's computer hardware, a fun authentic time capsule. He uses an Apple Studio Display monitor, Apple Optical Pro mouse, and PowerMac G4 MDD model, all authentically from ~2002ish. It is also mildly amusing that L is a Mac and Light is a PC.

Once I decide what specific section my little EVA-suited engineer will be standing on, I will have to upres that specific section even further, inventing more detail than was on the movie model for extreme closeup.

A black and white illustration of two Preybird Starfighters, by Tim Eldred. The angle of both is exactly the same as Struzan's, and a full bird design is visible painted on the undersides.
(Small addendum to this, it looks like Struzan's choice angle was also not original, and was based on a 1994 Tim Eldred illustration!)

I don't believe that's the case. It actually looks like Struzan's version was essentially a repaint of an illustration done several years earlier by Tim Eldred, that appeared in the 1994 Last Command Sourcebook.

14.10.2025 20:15 โ ๐ 286 ๐ 60 ๐ฌ 2 ๐ 0Look at the wraparound artwork Struzan did for the Indiana Jones books in the early 90s, complete with hand-drawn titles and author blocks!
16 year old me would stand in a mall B. Dalton and could feel the thunder & hear the music with one of these books in my fat little white suburban hands.
I also like the patterning or paneling on the undersides being vaguely evocative of wing feathers (which I feel was a reference to Star Trek's Bird of Prey doing the same thing)

They are! You can see that the more recent digital illustration from a TTRPG that Wookieepedia uses pretty heavily referenced it too, since again that was the best illustration out there of one. starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Preybir...
14.10.2025 19:38 โ ๐ 6 ๐ 1 ๐ฌ 2 ๐ 0A great thing about Struzan's Star Wars book covers was when his artwork continued across to the back cover. Here is an example where the back featured two "Preybird" starfighters, a ship which at the time I don't believe had any fully-rendered high quality artwork of it.
