Full Motion Video Jacket

He's given us ships and he's given us models... and now veteran Wing Commander artist Sean Murphy has something cool to sell! He's put a beautiful Wing Commander IV team jacket up on eBay. This awesome outfit has Black Lance, Unified Space Command and Black Widow patches from the WCIV and WCP film shoots... along with the development team patches for both of those games (pictured below). You can find the auction here. Bid early and bid often - few people are as good friends to the Wing Commander community as Sean Murphy!

Some SMurphy Sketches Surface

He only has one jacket to go around, but Sean Murphy's website is full of neat stuff that everyone can share. Here are some beautiful concept art sketches that date back to his Prophecy days. It's great to be able to see how designs like this evolved from this point to later revisions. The early idea for the Devastator is a very close match to the final design, but the lighter bomber evolved quite a bit. Sean released the actual Shrike model last year (get it here), and the Stingray has been available since last week!
