Dominik Mayer (born January 30, 1991 in Germany) is a German concept artist and illustrator. For the Star Wars franchise, he created a loading screen for the 2017 video game Fortnite and covers for The Essential Legends Collection reprints of two books in the Star Wars: The Old Republic novel series.
Mayer's "Sith Ascension" loading screen art
Dominik Mayer was born on January 30, 1991 in Germany. His first Star Wars project was loading screen art for Chapter 3: Season 3 of the 2017 video game Fortnite. The art, titled "Sith Ascension," was released in Fortnite on June 5, 2022 as part of a cosmetics set featuring the Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Vader. Players could purchase the loading screen and have it appear while they load into matches. On June 6, Mayer published his art on social media, saying that it was a great pleasure to work on the piece. He found it incredibly cool to paint Vader in his personal art style.
Mayer also created the cover art for The Essential Legends Collection reprints of the 2011 The Old Republic novels Deceived and Revan, written by Paul S. Kemp and Drew Karpyshyn respectively. Both of Mayer's designs were also used for the audiobook adaptations of each novel. Publisher Del Rey announced Mayer's involvement and revealed his cover art on June 21, 2022. The reprinted novels were published on November 1 of the same year.
