We have a distinctively Star Wars flavor for you today. Ansel Hsiao hails from the USA and specializes in hard surface modeling and vehicle and spaceship concept design. He has worked on many projects, including Halo 4 (UNSC Infinity cinematic model) and Aliens Colonial Marines (cinematic environment modeling), and he also illustrated STAR WARS: The Essential Guide to Warfare.
Below is a small collection of his work. Each image links back to the site of origin. Enjoy!
Star Wars Insider magazine featured Ansel’s Imperial-class Star Destroyer in 2011, which is not surprising given his knowledge and experience with the franchise. You clearly see that knowledge on display here. He also contributed to the Wookieepedia entries for the Assertor-class Star Dreadnought and the Bellator-class dreadnought.
An amazing talent, Ansel awes with his ability to render in such intrinsic detail the technical and engineering aspects of each starship. It’s truly amazing.
We hope you enjoyed today’s post. Let us know below. Come on now, don’t be shy.
Cheers!
