Default 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

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.

Default Ramming Speed!

1) A ram, just at the moment of impact, the explosive warheads on the rammer ship detonating in a huge explosion, and little guys sailing into space, screaming their Last from hemorrhaging lungs as they perish horribly

2) The Kobayashi Maru! A historical scene, depicting Tiberius' Triumph

3) A spacedrop. Ground troops dropping from orbit, hundreds of tiny contrails as the outer ablative shielding begins to burn off...read the relevant sections of Starship Troopers for inspiration. Umm, I mean the book. I have no idea about the movie, I never saw it.

4) A planetary bombardment. One or more gunboats, loaded with Napalm V, pLastering the living **** out of a planet.

5) A ringworld. The star, a bold young yellow one, gleaming on the endless ribbon of earth, mountains, and lakes...

I would just like to say that making contrails in doga is a pain in the behind; It never looks right, and it never comes out well.

Nevertheless, I think I managed to somewhat respectably do this scene, with contrails to boot.

Just one thing missing from that picture...
A large-font caption along the lines of "Join the Planetary Militia!"

Default Schweeeeet!

Very nice, TerranC!

Very nice indeed. I love the perspective, the burning azure sky, the scintillating highlights...oh well done, sir! Well done indeed!

Caption should read-

"The Space Marines are looking for a few good men"
