CIC Concept Sketches

August 13, 2008 · Print This Article

As you can see, were on a tangent with these concept sketches. However, there’s good reason for this… they’re awesome. Yes, these sketches are the work of Ken Rabehl. And, yes, we’re still on a Ken Rabehl kick, because he us of Ralph McQuarrie. And if you don’t know who that guy is… shame on you.

Having walked the various sets with Alec—including the CIC yesterday—I can tell you that these concept drawings make the actual CIC very, very cramped. Not that this diminishes the coolness of walking on Galactica‘s CIC, but if you are one of those people whose perceptions are easily shaken by the stark realities of producing TV and movies, then it is a whole different experience. Sometimes it can be downright destructive… to the very feint of heart.

Hence the term “movie magic”.

Enough talking. Without further ado, here are some awesome concept sketches for the Combat Information Center on The Bucket.

This is an earlier concept of CIC, without the posts. As you will notice, neither the hanging screens nor the command console are present here.
The two concepts above are various sides of the CIC and resemble closely the final product. The only exception here, really, is the center command table which does not have any seating.
And, of course, the final product that you’ve seen in practically every single frakkin’ episode.
