Thirty Year Old Vintage Fan Art Discovered

Fan art from 1994! We found these vintage renderings of two Wing Commander I ships while digging through historical Amiga material for our recent demo writeup. These may be some of the earliest surviving Wing Commander fan art!

The files were created by a fan named "Pink" who rendered them using Real 3D v2 (now Realsoft 3D) for the Amiga. These files were originally added to the AmiNet Amiga collection (likely via a BBS) on July 11, 1994! Each one includes a readme file with additional notes:

Short:        736x566 Real3D V2 raytrace. A Raptor starship from Wingcommander.

Type:         pix/trace
Architecture: generic

The scene shows a fully armed Raptor Attack fighter from the
Wingcommander game. I modelled it using the blueprints that came with
the game, so it's as accurate as the blueprints (and they weren't
accurate at all :-)
