Sorry I’ve been away for awhile. It’s the standard story…late nights, short deadlines, and getting some traveling arrangements all worked out (more on that down the road). So needless to say I’ve been busy! But I found this great article titled ‘Anatomy of a Cylon‘ over at Darth Mojo’s blog, and I wanted to share it’s awesomeness with the rest of you!

A little history, Mojo is a senior artist over at ‘BSG In-house Visual Effects’ and is a die-hard Battlestar fan. More specifically the original ’78 series. So when the chance to finally show us what the Cylons looked like during the first Cylon war, he jumped and played a big role in the creation.

You can really see all the love that went into the design of this new/old version of the Cylon Centurion. Literally down to the nuts and bolts…

It’s just some really great work. So now follow the links below and read all about the great work that was done on the ‘Razor’ mini-movie!

It’s no secret that I’m the biggest fan of the original Battlestar currently working on the new incarnation; you could almost say I’m the “ambassador” of the 1979 version, always looking for opportunities to include classic Galactica material on the current series.

I’ve had a few people tell me that when they saw the gold Cylon, they thought they had died and gone to heaven. Who would have guessed that the people making the new Galactica were rabid enough fans to include that? Hey, guys, remember – I’m the one that wore an original Colonial Warrior uniform to the Emmys.

Alright well that’s it for today. Hopefully I’ll get some time coming up to update more regularly! But I don’t want to jinx myself just yet. So all I’ll say is happy Friday, and remember to watch the new episode of BSG tonight on Sci-Fi!

Talk to you all soon!
