Re: A question to SEV beta testers
 

Woot! More screenshots for SEIV! It looks like even the ship designs are getting more attention than they did in Starfury.

One by one over the last 2 years every single video/computer game I've looked forward to has built me up, then dropped me like a rock. Its been brutal to be me. I used to have a video game addiction, now I can't even work up enough interest to play a game when I have time to play one. Its SO depressing... Save me SE5!!!

Who said they were guns? They're mustard dispensers. And the strap is just for show- they are kept in place by magnets, kind of like those window-washy-gizmos, where you put one half on the outside of the glass, then move it about with a magnet on the inside...

Indeed it does. Or, to put it another way, the head did make a nice portrait until I stuck a body on it...

What, you never read the race description? They ARE cows!

Re: A question to SEV beta testers
 

What did you make that in?

Re: A question to SEV beta testers
 

Admittedly I rarely read the descripts. But that stil wouldnt have put "cows" in my impression from that head. Maybe hogs, or something rhinocerous looking. Still it is a great picture

Narf: Hand drawn in Paintshop Pro, if memory serves correctly. (although the head, obviously, is cut&pasted from the game's files)

Didn't even use my artpad & pen for that one either, I'm pretty sure it was a mouse job. I also did ones for the Zynarra and Bobrobans - http://www.dogscoff.co.uk/propresp.htm

Hand-drawn? Ever considered going professional?

OK, next time I encounter the Texrak, I'm going to conquer them right away! Need some beef and milk to feed the citizens of my empire...

Re: A question to SEV beta testers
 

My artistic talents are very hit and miss. Sometimes I sit down and sketch out something to the standard of the battlecow first time. Other times I sit for hours and hours and produce nothing decent whatsoever. Also, my extraordinary talent for laziness means I produce images at a rate of about 3 or 4 per year- that's only slightly lower than my Othaglot & Cane chapter output. Although slow, my writing skills are far more consistent, so I think if I ever wanted to earn a living creatively, it would be with a pen rather than a paintbrush. Would be cool to design my own cover art though.

Also, I don't think there's much of a market for hand-drawn monsters, which seems to be my forte. That said, I have long been thinking about putting a portfolio/gallery on my website, featuring some of my better pictures. Never got round to it though.

Thanks for the comment though Narf, that's a real compliment.
