Willing to make Space Pictures based on your ideas
 

Remember this picture?

Perhaps you remember this one as well?

I'm ashamed for not having said it earlier, but although I created the pictures, the ideas behind the pictures were provided by Puke (for the first one) and by SuicideJunkie (for the second one). The thing is I never have any good ideas on my own; I usually end up trying to manifest other people's ideas onto a picture using my models and doga effects. I am ashamed of that, and I fear that I may never overcome my stunted imagination.

The good thing is that you can feed good ideas into my brain, wait a while, and see the final effects! All you have to do is provide the imagination, and I'll do all the hard work for you! You don't like my ship models? Heck, I'll create new ones for you on the spot as long as you provide a description for them!

So to sum it up: TC is unimaginative - TC knows DoGA pretty well, I guess - You feed your ideas for anything Se4 you want to see in a 800x600/1024x768/1280x1024 format into TC's brain - wait a few days - and voila! (Almost) Instant wallpaper.

So if you have an idea, (Whatever is in your head is, on a 99.9% chance, good) write it down here and let me do all the work!

I'll be awaiting your ideas.

You can use this idea as the Last resort:

There are plenty of Online galleries with military art, e.g. Military Art. Find a picture with interesting plot and recreate it in the space enviroment with your own models starring.

Plagiarism? Sure.

Now add some objects to the scene, or remove something, change point of view (camera position) - make your scene different.

Plagiarism? No, artistic remaking http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Start with a concept - Say - Robots. Then refine - Two armies of robots. Then, determine terrain, atmosphere, use those to determine types of robots or the other way around and so on. Use the anylitical facilities to assist the creative facilities, not replace them.

Here you go...

Suicidal charge of the Last DN against the enemy fleet's command ship, guns blazing and being whacked by incoming fire...

No, not original in idea but I am sure you can make nice original artwork for it.

I would die for a pic that shows a ragtag bunch of human ships fleeing Earth as it is destroyed by Klackon warships.

[All my races are based upon the remnants of humanity (the "Diaspora") who fled Earth during the Earth-Klackon wars (when Earth was eventually nuked by the Klackons) - that was the first PBW game I played...]

Re: Willing to make Space Pictures based on your ideas
 

I have a rather large story that you can freely use for any ideas. Lots of battles and that sort of thing.

Re: Willing to make Space Pictures based on your ideas
 

You could like one these ideas (or neither of them):

1. Race.
Plot: 2 ships (different shipsets) are competing with each other in speed.
Aim: distant planet (probably with small finish gate on orbit).
Losing ship is forcing its engines (bigger exhaust, or more intensive color).
Additional details: glowing buoys (represent lane direction), audience (other ships).
Visual fx: motion blur. It's a must have imho.

2. Head-on crush.
Plot: 2 ships (again) are flying towards each other on high speed. Someone have to turn aside, else...
This kind of scenes is quite popular in Hollywood movies.
Additional details: they can fire to each other, burning hot front shields, something in the backdrop (planet, space battle).

3. Burn Earth.
Plot: Big ship is falling to earth (preferably to the big town).
Ship surrounded with plasma cocoon, it's almost destroyed and scattering to pieces.
Additional details: missiles starting from ground to intercept and destroy the treat.

4. Steeplechase in asteroid field.
Plot: small ship manoeuvring in asteroid field. Hostile ships (fighters) colliding with asteroids and each other. Explosions. See SW's Millenium Hawk hiding in the asteroid field for great example.

A huge beam coming out of the clouds from the sky that busts a hole in the ground... near the ground all the buildings are falling into it and people are scurrying about trying to avoid being swallowed by the earth... maybe a lot of fighters in the sky in the middle of dogfights, a few of them accidently running into the beam and being incinerated...

heh heh

Heres an idea, have a ship raise out of a hanger on the ground with weapons shooting at it and have little weapons inplacements on the ground shooting up.

How about this:
Peaceful, uncolonized forest world.
Rocks and trees and a woodland creature or two hopping/flying past.

Up in the sky, a large, close moon full of vaccuum breathers is being attacked by somebody else.
