The remastered editions of the two main Homeworld games are out today, introducing a whole new generation to one of the greatest series in modern video games. So thereâs no better time to appreciate one of the things people love most about them: artist Rob Cunninghamâs work designing Homeworldâs iconic ships.
Cunningham, who is now working on a new Homeworld game, did some of these images (most courtesy of Encyclopedia Hiigara) over fifteen years ago, while others are a little more recent, as they were for the gameâs sequel.

This is some of, I believe, the best video game art ever produced, particularly in terms of how original and influential itâs been, so I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
UPDATE: Iâm seeing a lot of people on Twitter say this art reminds them of stuff like Chris Fossâ art for Jodorowskyâs Dune. Thatâs because Fossâ art was a big inspiration to the original artists on Homeworld! You can see more of Fossâ work at his site
