CLASSIC ART: BY YOUR COMMAND!

 


The ultimate traitor to humanity, Count Baltar enjoys his reign of a Cylon Basestar and all the power along with it, be it via the hundreds of Centurions in constant activity within it, or wielding his egotistic authority and need to hunt the Colonial survivors to destruction through his humorous IL series servant, the quirky Lucifer, as seen in this great cover art by Daniel HDR for issue 4 of Dynamite's Classic Galactica comic series.

CLASSIC ART: LANDED ON A STRANGE WORLD...


Another one of the much-missed Ralph McQuarrie's concept/production paintings for the Saga of a Star World pilot from 1977/78, an evocative piece showing one of our heroes' Colonial Vipers parked on a strange world's terrain, which I presume is an early iteration of the tylium fused world of Carillon?

CLASSIC IMAGE: THREE LINED UP!


The classic effects shot of Colonial weaponry targeting three Cylon Raiders that was ultimately used much more than it should have been as battle scene stock footage through the first half of the classic series. Nonetheless, it was a brilliant piece of model/optical filming by Apogee back in 1978.
