Concept sketches

Post by Red Eye » Sat Aug 01, 2009 12:40 pm

Hello all!

I've just scanned a few conceptual sketches of the costumes and ships from the Profiles in History Hollywood auction catalog #16 and I thought I'd share them with you.

Enjoy!

VERY COOL! Thank you Red Eye for posting the art!

Is it just me, or do the space suit and the helmet at the bottom of the antique viper image look A LOT like the new series' flight suit costumes? Another knod to the classic show? Borrowing from its concept art?

They must have had the actors already signed up - the warrior has Dirk's hair, the dress warrior has Hatch's hair, and Adama looks like Greene!

Those are great, and thanks. Most of these I have seen before, but the very first one in orange looks a bit like a dressy version of the fire fighters costume. Also Dirk was a last moment sign up on the show, just dumb luck that the concept and Dirk looked close to the same. ABC fought Glen putting Dirk in the seat as Starbuck, but finally gave in when filming with Apollo was set, and Richard was already on the set and working via learning his parts getting fitted for costumes, and so forth.

And here we go again...

This time I've scanned the costume sketches from the Colonial Warrior in cold weather gear as seen in "The Gun on Ice Planet Zero",

the Cylon Centurion

and our Eminence, the Imperious Leader (which I've posted before somewhere but I think it'll be suitable for this topic so here is it again)

Enjoy them as usual! :wink:
