Ian McQue is a Scottish concept artist and illustrator renowned for his imaginative and intricate designs. He studied Illustration and Printmaking at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design in Dundee, Scotland. McQue's career began with freelance work before joining DMA Design, where he contributed to the early Grand Theft Auto games. Later, he transitioned to Rockstar North, serving as Lead Concept Artist and Assistant Art Director for nearly two decades.

McQue is celebrated for his unique style, particularly his iconic floating ships and industrial landscapes, which blend realism with fantasy. His work often explores storytelling within futuristic and fantastical settings, drawing inspiration from his upbringing in Sunderland, a city with a rich industrial history. Today, he continues to work as a freelance artist, collaborating with major film studios and releasing art books that showcase his distinctive vision.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This model is a tribute to the artist and not an attempt to copy or reproduce his works. Flux1.D is unable to reproduce a graphic universe on which it was trained, the goal is solely to expand Flux's pictorial capabilities.

The idea is to use this model, combined with others, to create new styles of digital art expression. "Nothing is lost, nothing is created, everything is transformed" is an apocryphal quote from Antoine Lavoisier. We are somewhat in this vision.
