Here's an illustration I did for Fantasy Flight Games way back in October 2011 for their upcoming Star Wars X-Wing Miniature Game. The game itself won't debut until mid-August but they've got this up on their website already. Feel free to take a look at the following link: [link]
I'm not into card games but I can tell that the illustrations will be amazing ! It is indeed true that in games Ion cannons were blue, but the image looks cool nevertheless.
Thanks! Yeah it's interesting, I'm surprised that they could get away with making it pink instead of blue. You would think that Lucas' team overseeing everything in the art would have caught that. Oh well, hopefully no one gets fired lol
