Need Help ID'ing TRO:3085 Artist
« on: 09 March 2019, 15:11:41 »
I'm having trouble identifying the artist of these three vehicles from TRO:3085:
Regulator II
Padilla (Tube) Artillery Tank
Winston Combat Vehicle (Got it. Thanks SteelRaven.)

I don't see a signature and I can't find the work on any of the artist's websites that I've managed to locate. You won't find the info on Sarna.net, and that's the reason I'm looking (to fill it in). Any help is appreciated.

The MUL has the full image of the Winston CV

I'm guessing that Chad Lewis drew that.

Can't figure out who did the other two.

It's a good qestion. Three of the Artist featured in TRO: 3085 don't have a profile on Sarna and I cannot find any of their BT related artwork on a google search.

All three are most likely the same artist.  There is no Chad Lewis. There is a Chris Lewis (not his work) and a Chad Segesketter. I have found nothing on Chad's DeviantArt that resembles anything in the book. Maybe he did some of the specialized infantry.

I've been after it all morning, trying to put together enough to create Sarna articles for them.

Just noticed Chris Lewis' signature on the bolder bottom of the art.

Still cant spot a signature on the other two. Looks as if the Padilla and the Regulator was by the same artist from the details on both pics.

*sigh* I missed the boulder in the MUL image. Thank you.

Still looking for the Padilla and Regulator II.

Could they be done by David White?  They look similar to his other works I've seen in the TROs.

Its Chris Lewis.  His signature matches with other work he's done.

It looks like Justin Nelson or Stephen Huda's work.

There couple guys in the illustration section who's names don't appear with any image.

I'm looking for solid confirmation, though, not "looks like". I've done searches on each of the artists listed in the credits and, as mentioned in my initial post, have not found the works on any of their websites. I'm hoping somebody may have information that I have not seen.

(I'll remove the Winston from the query to avoid further confusion.)

EDIT:  I  was thinking the field manual, not the TRO.
