Sure, you’ve seen the 03-K64 Firefly-class mid-bulk cargo transport all over the place, but what about the other Firefly models? We saw some hints in the Official Blueprint Set, but now QMx is offering a beautiful poster by Sean Kennedy of the ISV Cerberus, a Mark 3 Firefly with military refit.
Bringing the Cerberus to life was a labor of love for many talented and experienced Serenity designers. Based on a concept sketch done by Tim Earls for the Official Serenity Blueprint Reference Pack (Tim did Serenity’s concept design under the direction of Joss Whedon), the ship was rendered from scratch by Lightwave virtuoso Sean Kennedy. Once the model was complete, it became possible to pose the ship in any number of scenes and scenarios.
For her debut, we see our “Big Dog” taking a much-deserved break, reinforcing an Independents encampment in one of the deserts on Persephone. Look closely and you can see some of her crew and Browncoat marines moving under her shadow. This poster is full of little details and surprises, from the tattered 12th Cavalry flag hanging from the side of a gun emplacement to the “Eat This Purple Bellies” scrawled on the sides of Cerberus’ big missiles.
Even Serenity Graphic Designer Geoffrey Mandel had a hand in her creation, creating the Cerberus and 12th Cavalry logos.
The poster is 12.5″ x 19.5″ and retails for just $12.95.
