Concept art by starsiege: tribes art director Shawn Sharp, he gave me permission to share this stuff with you.

alien casting magic

aliens and monsters, Shawn at first envisioned the game with "gothic, horror, steampunk" touch

alien race, but they couldn't get good AI to work, so they had to scrap alien and single-player mode and instead shipped multiplayer-only game

another alien race with chitinous armor

Suite design, before they settled on battle armors

Armor design (you can see these images in higher resolution in manual)

CotP warrior (better quality than the one in the manual, also not cropped)

looks like cyborg, from tribes 1 i assume because of the CotP emblem on his arm

I'm finally taking the time to post! Yeesh.

Just wanted to say how cool it is to see a community of Tribes players alive and well. To this day, Starsiege and Starsiege Tribes remain two of my favorite games to have worked on. You can see how much things changed between when we started, when I was pitching more of a gothic steampunk atmosphere to the more powered armor approach we finally shipped with. I decided the latter was going to be a lot easier for folks to wrap their heads around and an easier sell.

hes probably already been reading here for awhile considering it takes 2 days before accounts activate

maybe he posted once and left forever because this place is too toxic or controversial
 
Yeah, Blindman is sort of an inside joke. I have terrible eyesight.
I wish I had gotten to work with Royo more. I'm a huge fan! Unfortunately while we had him do some promotional art, and the box of course, I had already designed all of the assets by the time he got involved.
