why? It shows that not always an expensive 3d program is required to create a good looking wallpaper. Game engine can do the job as well ;)

yay! positive feedback! must mean im doing something right :D

Here's the next bit. Warning - this one's about the same size (200+kb). I still gotta figure out how to reduce the size, or else i'm going to run out of webspace real soon.

hmm... I could give you a few mb of webspace if you are in need ;)

Btw, since you are using jpg compression: why not use a lower quality setting?

im thinking of doing that. But im not too sure how much of a quality loss i'm willing to give up, especially since I also want to show off the ub3rness of the SCP :D


Edit: and hell yes, a few Mb of webspace would be nice! :D

The next one will be up later today. I'm considering keeping each section as seperate images, since I dont have access to photoshop atm (on duty clerk, so im stuck here 24 hrs), but we'll see about that.

Also, any opinions of Ashoka Station? I need feedback on that, as I'll be releasing it for use shortly. If it looks Ugly, realize that it's meant to, as it's supposed to be scrapped together from old bits and pieces, as how a civvy or pirate station would be. :)

I think the station looks awesome!  A great feel of something just cobbled together from scrap.

Here's the next one.
Its 80kb in size, somewhat of an improvement. But do realize, its utter and total crap quality in terms of graphics, since I only had imaging and paint to work with atm. Also, apologies for the shoddy in-game shots, they were taken on the fly as I rushed off to work.

That's a lot of ships.  What'd the poor pilot do, make a pass at the transport captain?

Nice comic, although you might want to run the thing through a grammer/spell-checker.

Which is something I dont exactly have atm :P

But thanks nonetheless. Let's see if i cant find some free software online then, looks like I'll be needing it......

I'm not too sure; what do you guys want?
RedvsBlue comic 'ala FS2, or in-depth FS2-based story? I can go either way from here, but im leaning more to the latter (since I've already got one and my sense of humour sucks)......
