The Stormshadow Dissected

Description

Two years have passed since the Rise of the Empire...

Lady Feyn's starcruiser (and the shanghaied heroes' chief ride), the eponymous Stormshadow, with obscuring structures removed to reveal detail.

Some may recognize the base design as one of the rejected Royal Cruiser concepts by Doug Chiang for SW-EP2 (see pages 20-21 of The Art of Star Wars: Episode II — Attack of the Clones) all three concepts made their way into the Stormshadow storyline in one form or another, and this one was chosen and recast as the title vessel. Initially this consisted of some basic reworking in Photoshop — principally to test the distinctive iridescent finish that would set this vessel apart from its Naboo roots (inset photo). With a bit of further conceptual elaboration — and a significant bit of scaling-up — this design was then expanded into the plan above.

A chief challenge was to preserve the virtues of Chiang's concept while subtly reworking key components — not to mention extrapolating that singular model image into a scale schematic: a good piece of practice in conceptual development.
