Gary
Tonge
Gary Tonge traces his fascination with space art back to
the moment he saw that massive Star Destroyer pass overhead at the
opening of the first Star Wars movie. He was seven years old at the
time and recalls, “It was a stunning scene. From that point
on,
you could say I have been very interested in perspective and
atmospheric depth.”
Always fascinated with art, Gary became a pioneer in
computer game graphics, entering the industry in 1987.
He expanded his horizons to create the
fantastic realms you see here and in his book, Bold Visions: A Digital
Painting Bible.
“Sci-fi and fantasy are very big loves of
mine,” says the British native. “I try to bring a
realistic
tone to many of my images. If I had to choose what style is my
favorite, I’d say sci-fi with a twist of realism.”
