Oh wow I just heard this news. His work has inspired me for years. What a huge loss to the world. I am so sad.

VERY sad to hear that indeed. :sad:

But he'll live on through his awesome artwork he had given us and the sci-fi world!

He was (as I will always think, IS) a great artist and always will be. He will be missed.

What a loss this was when I heard it! Yeah, I understand he was pretty old at 82. I remember looking at this guy's artwork when I was a child. Those concept pics of Darth Vader and countless other characters in Star Wars and BSG were awesome just awesome!!
