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.
Idea accepted; the attachment has a preview of what's to come.

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!"

You are free to take them and do as you please with them, narf.

Kerensky: That depends, What format are your models in?

Narf, you amuse me.

That planetary assault pic is AWESOME. It makes me wanna pull out the easle (sp?) and go back to painting. I used to be just floored by the stuff in OMNI Magazine back in the eighties when I was a youngster and spent a lot of time trying to master those atmospheric effects to no avail.

Re: "do as you please"... I have your dreadnought pic as wallpaper right now.

Re: Build on our ideas. Can I email you a scan of a pic I drew and have you work it up as a model?

Currently they are in .wngs format, but the program I use can export the files to just about any other format.

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"
