Ask the Artist - IgnusDei

from Sins Forums
Hi, Francois Cannels here, and i was the contracted concept artist responsible for quite a few new art assets and designs during the late devellopment cycle of Sins of a Solar empire.  Quite a few of you might have questions about the visuals of the game, and while i can't answer all of them, i thought i'd finally drop in after months of lurking and expose myself to your inquiries. So, feel free to ask your questions right here, and i'll do my best to answer them. Also: Hi Craig!

looking at the designs created by you i think it would have been nice if they gave u also some of the others TEC designs. ;)

Seriously, the new Kol is the best looking TEC ship and the advent ships are just GREAT art.
I wish u would have done more of the ships.

Were there any designs you guys didn't use? Especially stuff like buildings and frigates?

if you mean a design that got the green stamp but had to be ultimately canned, the answer would be: not that i know of. the designs i did were used almost immediately. i think a couple of portraits i did didn't make the final cut, though.

heh, if it didn't make the cut, you probably don't. :)
