It's 2011, 2012 when you get a call from Chris Roberts. Tell me how that happens.

Jim MartinConcept Artist / Illustrator

I had got hired on to the RoboCop remake. I'm in Hollywood working on Santa Monica Boulevard, and I get an email from Chris, and he was looking for a concept artist to do some initial ideas for him for a project, a game project he wanted to start up called Star Citizen. I met him for lunch, and he graciously bought me lunch and pitched the idea to me, and he had me at "Could you design ships? Would you like to design some ships?" I mean, who can say no to that, right? That's like our dream job, to get to do spaceship design.
