Showmasters Admin showmasters Posted June 22, 2015 Showmasters Admin Share Posted June 22, 2015 Latest Comic Guest Announcement - Andrew Probert Attending: Friday, Saturday and Sunday Artist: Back to the Future; Battlestar Galactica; Star Trek: The Motion Picture; Star Trek: The Next Generation ACROSS a career that spans almost 40 years Andrew Probert has been involved in visualising many high profile SF movies and TV shows. Starting out in 1978 when he designed the Cylon Centurions for Glenn A Larson’s Battlestar Galactica TV series, the artist went on to work on Star Trek: The Motion Picture. As a concept designer/illustrator on that 1978 film he was primarily responsible for designing the human and Vulcan space technology seen in the film, including the refitted starship Enterprise. Five years later he returned to TV to storyboard and help design Airwolf before moving on to 1984’s Back to the Future movie for which he designed the DeLorean time machine, building on Ron Cobb’s original concept art. In addition he produced the cover to the Tales of Space comic seen in the film. Probert – who also worked on the 1984 pilot episode of Streethawk – was next hired to redesign the bridge of the Galaxy Class Enterprise-D for Star Trek: The Next Generation but, as the embryonic series’ Consulting Senior Illustrator, was subsequently tasked with designing the exteriors of virtually every space vehicle seen during the first [1986] year of the show. Since 1989, Probert, whose other screen credits include Tron [1980], Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom [1983], The Philadelphia Experiment [1983], *batteries not included [1984] and Flight of the Navigator [1985], has worked outside the film and television industry. Initially spending four years designing rides and attractions for Walt Disney Imagineering, he has also been involved in the video game industry including being an initial design consultant on the first version of the Star Trek Online MMORPG. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
