Fausto De Martini

Fausto De Martini was a senior illustrator for the 2015 film Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens. De Martini's primary responsibility was updating the design of the TIE fighter from its original iconic appearance into a next generation version as well as the two-seated fight commandeered by Poe Dameron and Finn. He contributed further fine-tuning to the X-wing starfighter design for the film, developing illustrations by concept artist Ryan Church to fit production designer Darren Gilford's vision. De Martini also explored concept ideas for Han Solo's freighter, an unused starship that would have penetrated Starkiller Base's force field, and snowspeeder concepts for an ultimately deleted scene.
