Valkyrie Hunter D Posted December 30, 2019 Posted December 30, 2019 Truly a visionary, R.I.P. Mr. Mead.
Bolt Posted December 30, 2019 Posted December 30, 2019 Visionary and amazing talent will be sorely missed.

TangledThorns Posted December 31, 2019 Posted December 31, 2019 Syd Mead was the kind of artist that inspired me to draw when I was young.
TehPW Posted December 31, 2019 Posted December 31, 2019 (edited) Welp, he's busy doing freelance work now (and deadlines are merely guidelines in the hereafter).... *salutes* Edited December 31, 2019 by TehPW
AN/ALQ128 Posted December 31, 2019 Posted December 31, 2019 He will be sorely missed, a master of form, function, and gouache.
electric indigo Posted December 31, 2019 Posted December 31, 2019 Syd Mead's art not only defined my vision of how the future must look like, but also my professional career. I hope he inhabits one of the countless worlds he designed now.
Mazinger Posted December 31, 2019 Posted December 31, 2019 I doubt the Tesla truck would look like it does without Syd Mead's influence.
M'Kyuun Posted December 31, 2019 Posted December 31, 2019 It's difficult to image the last 40 years of film without the influence of his art throughout, not to mention his various contributions to industries. Like most sci-fi fans, my life and hobbies are greatly enriched because of his contributions. He brought beauty into so many worlds, and in whatever one he inhabits now, I hope the favor is returned. RIP, Mr. Mead.
F-ZeroOne Posted December 31, 2019 Posted December 31, 2019 I remember when the first images of "Turn-A Gundam" were released. How we laughed. Great Tominos ghost, we exclaimed, its got a 'TACHE! How wrong we were. Thank you, Mr. Mead, for what is now my favourite "Gundam" design.
