It's been a while folks, but I've been busy though!
A big thanks given to the fantastic FFG Art Director I worked with, Preston Stone,
as well as @Wraithdt :)

Outstanding; I'm a novice digital artist and this is the level I aspire to.

I'm pretty sure gold squadron y-wings have custom engine mounts that you have failed to capture correctly.

This may be the wrong place to ask, but do you know why FFG don't put artist names on X-Wing cards?

Don't they? They do on all of the LCG products. Unfortunate if true.

Haven't asked. The artists are all named on the expansion box however.

It's nice to see such a quick update to correct such an omission. You know how finicky star wars fans can be.

This is true, but it's disappointing to not have their names on the cards themselves

You’re welcome:) So glad you got the gig. I was just wondering if this is yours. It looks awesome! Did you do any of the Hyena Bombers as well? A couple of those look like your handy work.

They put our names on the lcgs and the tcgs cards but for some reason they don’t do it for any of their other games that use cards. I do agree they should be doing it for all their cards though;)

Kind of thrilled it's such an iconic scene on the card. This is exactly my mental picture, minus the YT-2400's fire spranging off the missile as well.

Love it!

now that's how you know it's a DIAMOND boron missile

look at those puny turret bolts plink right off!

Out of curiosity, for those of us (or maybe just one of us) who don't know... what iconic scene is this depicting?

Art's still awesome though.

Black Sun nuking a Y-Wing Squadron out of space in Dark Horse's old Shadows of the Empire comic series. Dash was escorting the squad in Outrider, but he isn't in this image.

Those Y-Wings don't look wonky enough to be on an x-wing card I'm afraid. :)

There is some spectacular bomber art in there, I wish I could claim some of it! But no, I was just on the one card for that expansion, I'm looking forward to seeing the larger versions. :)

Also: the Y-wing pilots were Bothans. The author was attempting to explain the "many Bothans died" thing.
