Bayernby *Arcas-Art

Traditional Art / Drawings / Illustration / Technical

The Bayern was a research starship from the RPG "Traveller: 2300" (later renamed "2300 A.D."). This image was created for a piece about the ship published in GDW's Challenge magazine, circa '87. Though I wasn't consciously thinking of it at the time, my stylized starfield has since reminded me of van Gogh's "Starry Night" [link] each time I've revisited it.

I'm not familiar with traveler, but this has a different sort of look to most spaceships I have seen; seems to sit somewhere between space opera and NASA goes to other planets.

Good to hear - that's just the balance of looks I was shooting for!!

Never realized this was yours!!!! I have always thought The Bayern and its module were fantastic. I used them over and over again in various settings. The star map was soooo cool too. I would honestly say that they are easily the most worn and used RPG modules I own

Wow, COOL! The module was written by [link] - you knew that, yes?
It's always flattering and rewarding to find out the products we made were so well used!!!!

Any chance to see a colored version? I remember seeing a color scheme somewhere for starships; was it by Suricata? or someone else? I think this would look good using a post-STTNG/ Sovereign-era color scheme, mixing lighter and darker hues together....
