Topps should release a collector's card set of Jules' images...

absolutely stunning, great art!!!
You have one heck of a great style. Long Live the X-Wings.

I had to repost this to the front page. Let all those new folks come in and enjoy. I feel like we have a web art gallery here.

Tamer, I've not been able to devote any time to my projects of late, when I do get an evening free I fall asleep almost as soon as my posterior hits the chair. I do miss X-Wing so maybe I'll do another chapter while I'm pondering how to deal with Homeworld Chapter 4.

[Tamer]

Well that sure doesn't hurt my ears Jules. Loving Homeworld too though.

[Luke Sprywalker]

Great hearing from you Jules! That is great news to my ears! Love your art and your X-Wing series.

[Kualan]

Been a long-time fan of your X-Wing Alliance series man, so it's nothing short of disgraceful that I've never seen this thread before!!

Big thanks to Tamer for posting it to the front page, wouldn't have seen without it.

Amazing art, hangarbay94. Particularly your space battles, they're so very uniquely stylistic that I wish I had them in a real-life comic book.

I must confess I've not really looked at the graphic art section before! But you are producing some brilliant artwork here! I'm fairly sure you must be doing something in the art & design industry for a living, if your not, why not? I love the mix of models and artwork, 3d with 2d! It works really well!
Plus your compositions and colours are excellent! I would be interested in seeing some of your non Star Wars art, as I'm sure you must have some! All in all excellent I'm most impressed, even more so than I expected to be!

[hangarbay94]

SLR, I haven't really one much in the way of non-Star Wars stuff for a while except for these, which were created usng 1/72nd scale arfix kits.

[ShamanLogRay]

I knew you would have something! Love them! The orange & gold sky's are beautiful & I see you were already creating your own models, other than the Spitfires! I can see how much Star Wars inspired you, just swap the Spitfires for X Wings & you are there! A great start to a great artistic career! You have some serious talent!

Jules, can you email me a 1920 x 1080 of this one;



it would look great on my desktop

[nickeltcd]

I just love your work, like i have said before, Your style is fantastic.
I love the Homeworld saga, i wish you much luck in getting back into the X-wings. They have been a favorite of mine since i heard that famous, call "red 5 standing by"
As a history buff, your imagining of the Mixed tech of Battle of Britain, is something akin to the Sky Captain but much better.

ooooohhh life! I've been putting all of my creative energies into renovating a house over the last 6-weeks, so I've had precious little time to devote to my hobby. As a consequence the next chapter is going a while longer to complete. Because of this I seem to have changed my approach into something a bit more artistic. Taking more time to enjoy the process a bit more.  

This time round I'd like to share some of the creative process with you by showing resource material, writing and story drafts as well as some step-by-step Photoshop work.

This is my latest image. It shows B-Wing's entering the cooling shaft of a large cloaked battle station.

[Tamer]

Wow, gorgeous Jules. My comments are on the front page!

Thanks Tamer for the Front Page....
