If the Empire is looking for a way to recruit, they should look at these Star Wars pin-up posters.

One common method of propaganda uses images of beautiful men and women to make people think that if they follow a certain ideology, they too will be happy or successful. In that sense, these are brilliant.

Feng Zhu is a concept artist who's worked on Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (2005) and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009). He drew "Imperial Recruitment" posters for the trade paperback Star Wars Visionaries. They remind me a lot of the 50s WWII posters.

Check after the jump for the posters and click on them to enlarge.

Try and stay away from the Empire now.

Z is for Zhu, Feng
Some of the greatest concept artists in the industry have at least one Star Wars movies in their resume. Is it because George Lucas sought out the best or did LucasArts turn them into great artists? I'm still not sure.

One of the greatest of the artists is Singaporean-American Feng Zhu who worked on Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005)


Nowhere in his resume or IMDb page does it list Transformers, but he has some Transformer robot designs and it's thought that he worked on Transformers II: Revenge of the Fallen (2009).


Official Synopsis:
The battle for Earth continues in this action-packed blockbuster from director Michael Bay and executive producer Steven Spielberg. When college-bound Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) learns the truth about the ancient origins of the Transformers, he must join Optimus Prime and Bumblebee in their epic battle against the Decepticons?, who have returned with a plan to destroy our world.

Here are his Starscream and other concept designs.

Whether they're officially from the movies or not, they're great designs.

See more of Feng Zhu portfolio at artbyfeng.com. He went to Singapore to launch FZD School of Entertainment Design in April 2009.

What do you think of the Transformers designs?
