Title: A new species....
Post by: Raven2001 on January 21, 2002, 03:30:00 pm
Now here's a contest for you drawers:

I'm planning on having a new species for Caught in the Middle, but I have no idea of how they should look like... here's the catch: could you drawers make a concept sketch of a fighter for a new species??? They have to be scary, menacing, mysterious ships... those other atributes such as if they are organic or cybernetic ships is all up to you  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)
So wadda you say???

Hmmmm.... that's a neat idea!!! Please make a drawing of how one of their ships would look like  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Alien race? How about very angry crickets in huge nasty black ships with green windows?   (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

The ship needs a great deal of reworking, especially the weapon pods. What you can't see in that picture is that it has something like 108 missile launch tubes (each with actual modelled doors, what was I thinking?  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/redface.gif))

And its probably ridiculously high poly. I can't even remember.

Hey Raven, Actually I am ahead of you there. I have a species that could kick the Shivan's tails but they don't because of other reasons.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Well, the Terrans have taken the chunky designs... the Vasudans the fishy ones... and the Shivans the spiky ones. So that leaves Species X with...

I have some slug-lookin' people things with strange heads... unfortunately, the ships I designed for 'em ended up looking like I'd spent 5 minutes on them, which probably isn't true...

Yes, I see the sort of ships you get with Amapi... (there was a big round pod like one on a mag advertising Amapi)

Yeah, these can kick the shivans out of their mysery, but theyr origins and motives are much different from the rest... believe me  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)
That's why they have too look mysterious and scary...

mikhael: nice ships, so are the "guys themselves"

however, I want more concepts!!! Drawing or model, either ones!!!  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Actually, I was thinking I might be able to help you out with coming up with some aliens. I need to know more about what you had in mind. I figured I could help you with your project since you are helping me out with mine  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif) Always helps to have a second hand thinker. I need one at times myself  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

You know, I already have 3 (!) second hand thinkers, but none of them can make me drawings... what I really need right now are a concept artist and fredders...  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

I really apreciatte your concern though

HEY YOU MAGGOTS WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR TO DRAW SOMETHING FOR ME??????? (I'm getting tired of boring you with this.........)

Plus, about these new species, I already came up with all the info about them that is needed: their origins, motives, way of being, etc... I just have no idea of how they and their ships should look like...  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/frown.gif)

Well here's an idea. Go with the ticked off time travelers but from a distant future from the present(FS time). But now lets add a twist, UFO type ships. I am working on a cap and fighter now. So when I'm finished I'll post it here. Shouldn't be to long. or you could even use my other ship  http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/Forum2/HTML/001251.html ("http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/Forum2/HTML/001251.html")  or see the ship pics  http://freespace.0catch.com/normal.html ("http://freespace.0catch.com/normal.html")
