Topic: Ralph McQuarrie (1929-2012)

Truly one of the greats. This man should hold a very special place in all of our hearts. His work has driven and inspired so much of what we love and hold dear today. We'll miss you Ralph, thank you.

Someday somebody will remake Star Wars and actually bring McQuarrie's paintings to life.

Re: Ralph McQuarrie (1929-2012)

I loved what the said on www.ralphmcquarrie.com :

There's no doubt in our hearts that centuries from now amazing spaceships will soar, future cities will rise and someone, somewhere will say...

"that looks like something Ralph McQuarrie painted."

Anyway, I raise my glass to this guy. His matte paintings for the trilogy still amaze me.

Two of my favourite paintings are Flaming June by Leighton, and Robot Dreams by McQuarrie:
