Would it anger B5 fans if..

I made a race using a mixture of B5 ships?

at the moment I do not have any 3D modeling software, so all I can do is apply different textures to jpeg or bmp files.

I did't want to anger "purists" as I plan to mix Vorlon, Membari, etc ships into a set with the portrait of something I found Online at Universal Shipyards as the race portrait. And probably use existing bmp for weapon platforms, mines, satellites, etc.

Beware you cannot take any pictures from others without their permission!

Well understood. The site I went to for B5 images said the they were freeware, as long as use was not for profit and credits were given.

Though I guess I could email the artists/webmaster of my intents.

I think that would be quite nice of you.

I guess I need to rephrase the question. If, given permission by the artists, would the B5 fans get mad if I mixed race ships from B5, SW, ST for an "organic" race I want to make from scratch?

I want to re-color and/or texturize some of the Vorlon, Shadow, Membari, etc along with maybe some others (SW and/or ST) to "flesh out" the set.

I am not at all certain I can get a consistent theme by doing this, but am going to try.

I don't think it could hurt to mix. www.spacebattles.com did it.
