Steve Hamilton – Designer

I paint spaceships and other things. Freelance illustrator and managing art director with 15 combined years in those roles. Zero AI.

Overview

*no AI

Hard surface and environment specialist with vibrant colors that you'd be hard pressed to find elsewhere.

If you are pining for an epic landscape with spaceships in it, that's my jam. Frame it in the clouds, in the sunset, on a beautiful horizon, or in the depths of space against the backdrop of a jaw-dropping nebulae. Just let me paint the spaceships for your upcoming sci-fi series and I'll be as happy as a pig in mud. But if you have anything else in mind that's crazy and colorful and over the top, I'm in.

Freelance illustrator for 13 years, and Managing Art Director at Fantasy Flight Games.

Thanks for looking at me and I hope you find what you need!

Steve's artwork is impeccable. He didn't just meet my expectations, he exceeded them. Combination was great, he was happy to make the changes I requested, and the final result was impressive! A+ artist, and I'd highly recommend him for any sci-fi project you might have.
