A portrait such as the one for your own shipset would work (head and upper body), if you have the time and the inspiration to do such a drawing. Either the KanesS or Sethulkra would be fine for my Empire however, at least much more fitting than the Cryslonite.

OK, any particular colours, themes, acessories..?
Tell me about the race: Benign? Aggressive? Cultured? Barbarians? Lots of techie/cyborg bits or all fangs and claws? The more you tell me the better I can try to draw it.

Hmm, I would like a bright yellow hue to the serpent, a more vivid colour than the one for the Sethulkra for example (closer to your own shipset). A headwear of some sort would fit in nicely with the theme.

The race itself is cultured (or at least, they think of themselves that way), mystical, haughty and arrogant, but they should be rather peaceful (why risk their lives in a petty war?). They aren't too keen on technology, that excuse for the crawling races... Erh, I am digressing. Besides their own religion, they are also dabbling in the field of Crystallurgy, if you believe you can add something along these lines to the portrait.

So in short the core of their society would be arrogant, distrusting to the newcomers in space, conservative and living in a setting closer to Renaissance than a space-based society. If you need any more precise information, please tell me so; I do a poor job of describing any of my Empires, and writing the actual descriptions is usually a torment.

I don't know, perhaps I might have something you can use. www.galileo.spaceports.com/~william/main.htm

No, that's very descriptive. It conjures up an excellent image in my mind, but I've a horrible feeling it's one I won't be able to draw=-)

I'll give it a try though, somewhen soon. I really ought to get all my graphics software & artpad reinstalled...

Do take your time to try to draw it then; it is for a Proportions game, so you should have some time before the game comes to an end.

Thanks for your help!
