Riever Concept (Patreon)

I wont be posting every sketch for every fresh (to current BT art) unit in our 3025 re-release, as many have been done by other artists than myself, but I'll start with at least the ones I handled.

The Riever had an issue that many aerospace fighter art suffers from. The implied scale within the art being at odds with the tonnage in the stats. The old Riever looks like a lighter fighter, while being one of the heaviest in the book.
Keeping large glass pannels it tough while selling scale improvements, but one trick we can use is to imply some sections only house cockpit equipment or sensors. In this case the pilot will be up front.

Also apparent in this one was my desire to make all of our flying wings look a little more distinct from each other. Though the most different one will be the Chippewa done by Alan Blackwell.
