You might also want to check out <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/spelljammer/" target="_blank">The Spelljammer Image Group</a> (on flickr).I've been looking at Silverblade's art for years. His original 3D models (from years back) were great in their day, but look a bit clunky in hindsight - especially compared to this photo-real stuff he does now. However the stuff he is doing now is so good that I can't see it ever looking outdated by new stuff.I would guess that the only improvements now will be the ability to put more and more models into a single picture and create more complex images (like a battle scene with hundreds of ships filling the background or an "Invasion of Spiral" scene with a large Unhuaman invasion fleet landing on the planet, while hundreds of scro flood out to secure the area). I think that sort of thing is still just beyond what can be done at the moment. But we live in exciting times and I always look forward to what Silverblade is going to put out next.He also does great "groundling" art. In recent years he has been able to do pictures of spelljamming ships flying in the sky above things on the ground. Space pictures look good enough, but these pictures have much better lighting (because they are not in the void) and really show the beauty of the ships.If 4th edition does get the Spelljammer Campaign Setting that rumours suggest, I think that at least one of Silverblade's pictures should get used in the product.</blockquote>
