Ryan Quickfall: Marauders | Red Baron
Ryan smashed the brief from creative video games studio, Fire Without Smoke, who recently commissioned him to create a series of illustrations for Marauders’ Red Baron.
Marking the game’s first major content update since its Steam Early Access launch in October, Marauders’ ‘Red Baron’ update sees players take on the game’s first boss: the titular and legendary pilot. A dogfighting ace from the game’s Central Empire faction and an expert in both close-quarters battles and space flight combat, the Red Baron is a formidable foe who will test the skills of space pirates from across the galaxy.

Andy Potts: Agent 23 Skidoo – Infinity Plus One
Andy Potts recently completed a fun commission to create the artwork for American family hip hop artist Secret Agent 23 Skidoo’s new album, Infinity Plus One. Working with the artist Cactus Skidoo the brief was to create illustrations that reflected the ‘intergalactic space funk’ of the music and a child-like wonder for the cosmos. The artwork is primarily for the packaging with the CD design itself based on the Voyager Golden Record launched into space on the classic ’77 mission. The packaging also features glow-in-the-dark elements on the front and back.
