I really like the style of pencil with a broken tip, but I'm not much of a sketcher haha. The base model was the python mk II

I'm clearly not an artist by trade but I do very much enjoy the art process. Art and music are so good for the soul. Below is a snip of the work-in-progress, just a mess of layers and doodles in the Concepts app (android). Played around with the sizing and positioning a bit, I think it turned out okay.

Great idea for a bounty Just About, thanks!

Last minute submission! I myself have always been a huge fan of posters, and those holo ads always looking so lively everytime I'm entering and docking at a port station (hope to see mine there some day :D)

The inspiration was that image of the classic Cobra flying toward a Coriolis station, all in 1984's rendering tech, paired with a bit more "detailed" Imperial Cutter and Federal Corvette as I interpret them as the two more "moderned" flagships (Sorry Conda, I will get you into a poster some day, same with the Alliance fleet), my intention was to celebrate the long way we have come so far, from that image of the Cobra from 1984 to what we have today.

I was not even born when the first game was out, and a fairly new to Elite: Dangerous, but my love for the game is there since the first day I booted it up, and I find it fascinating that the series have been there for 40 years!

To many more years and celebrations, cheers! o7

Proof that I made it:

Inspiration taken from in-game holo ads, a bit of style borrowed from Marc Million.

Cheers to cmdrs who made the ads, excellent artworks and thank you Marc for your inspo o7

In celebration of Elite's 40th anniversary, I went on a journey across several planets in order to look for 100% atmospheres, this is one of the beauties that Elite Dangerous can provide us today, it was a journey passing through 13 planets, some close others far away. In the photo I put the best photos, 9 of them that represent in order: Methane, Nitrogen, Ammonia, Sulfur Dioxide, Neon, Argon, Water, Carbon Dioxide and Helium.

As I passed them, I made brief documentation to record what happened:

I appreciate this game being so kind to the community!

The fixed idea was to make a boring T-shirt with smart Elite designs look way better than before.

The designs were quickly found!


The design for the front was quickly finished and off we went!

Only the programming for the back was a cramp and caused problems later on.

Knots formed in the countless single stitches, which led to problems with the embroidery and the machine itself.

The result is still very nice, even if the back is not finished yet, I hope I will find enough time to finish the project in the next few days.

Thanks if you read this to the end and fly safe.

So for this bounty I decided to recreated the original art of the original game, Elite (1984), and I got a little exited in the process and I made a little more than just the art!

I have remade the entire box with all the bonus that came along the game, the poster and all the booklets even the DVD (in that time was diskette)

Now here some screenshots from the creation process.

CMDR Henckes this is one of the most impressive bounty submissions we've ever received. Our jaws hit the floor when we saw it. Amazing work and congratulations on first place!

Thank you very much Alex Sinclair, glad that you guys liked. Took me some days to finish it!

Made a little everyday after come home from work. Was an exhaustive week but was worth the effort!

they're done with chalk - the cobra above is drawn in the Dark Wheel video below (but I think that's not enterable as I didn't write the Dark Wheel.)

The triptych is actually three different methods - felt pen and paint and chalk. there's a video of me doing that on my youtube here -

This video below is fun and more arty too, but not about the 40 years. I do a timelapse video of most of my pictures so they'll all be there somewhere in my channel.

Absolutely wonderful! Congratulations on second place and thank you for sharing your beautiful artwork with us!

I created this image by doing a screen shot of the original Elite sidewinder and planet and superimposed them over a sidewinder and planet from Elite Dangerous. I lightened the ED sidewinder so you can see the colouring and used a slight blur for the original images so it didn't look quite as dotty. The first Elite game on the Commodore 64 was what inspired me to get Elite Dangerous and the sidewinder shape is just iconic. It's what I remember from the loading screen and the artwork on the box.

All my experience with the Elite series is from Elite Dangerous so I hope I did the older graphics justice.

Just remember guys; if one of you had done it well, you wouldn't have to see me do it badly ;)
