Hercules Mk 2 art piece?
Does anyone remember/have/know who did that really kickass digital picture of a Herc Mk 2 flying over a planet?

EDIT: YES! After trawling through VWatch news posts for almost an hour, I've found it, dated January 03, 2001! Man, that sure does bring back memories. Here it is!



Haha, right after that, dated January 7, 2001:

Hard Light Productions Opens!
- Posted by: Fantomeye @ 03:41 PM CST - Post Comment

After being in productions for weeks, Hard Light Productions is now open for business! Here's what Thunder had to say:

Ladies and Gentlemen, it's my great pleasure to announce the Grand Opening of Hard Light Productions. Our mission is to bring you the best mods around for the games we support. So far we have Freespace2 and Freelancer, and we intend to expand as soon as we can. As Freelancer isn't released yet we'll be bringing you all the latest news and downloads available about this sure-fire blockbuster. Take a look around the site and please feel free to email us with your thoughts.

So what are you waiting for? Go check it out!

EDIT: On top of that, does anyone still have the Freakspace comics? :)

Ignore the rest though, heavily outdated in terms of years.

Re: Hercules Mk 2 art piece?
You people actually anticipated Freelancer? Damn. :P

That is a pretty damn good piece of art though. Who made it?
To consider the Earth as the only populated world in infinite space is as absurd as to assert that in an entire field of millet, only one grain will grow. - Metrodorus of Chios
I wept. Mysterious forces beyond my ken had reached into my beautiful mission and energized its pilots with inhuman bomb-firing abilities. I could only imagine the GTVA warriors giving a mighty KIAAIIIIIII shout as they worked their triggers, their biceps bulging with sinew after years of Ivan Drago-esque steroid therapy and weight training. - General Battuta

Re: Hercules Mk 2 art piece?
I know.

This picture was painted by a Japanese SF fan, "Ryu-Act".

Here his site, however, written in Japanese language only.
http://www3.osk.3web.ne.jp/~yonehara/index.htm

His "CG Gallery" has some beautiful mechanics from various games includes FS2.

He made a great FS2 fan book, and now it is downloadable free PDF file.
Watch beautiful Ares in his book!

Please send a message of praise to him, even in English.
With pressing button "web拍手ボタン" placed over the counter at left side of the page.
I respect him.

 
Re: Hercules Mk 2 art piece?
Thats a pretty sweet pic, although if you look close enough you can see the pilot and I always figured the cockpit was "tighter" around the pilot. Nice Job though!

EDIT:  Please ignore all sexual connotations about the cockpit being tight

Well Beyond the Red Line and the Wing Commander Saga were released. You can find the former on game-warden.com/bsg, and the latter here on HLP :). As you can see, the Procyon Insurgency was just released as well...hmm...SCP 3.6.9 was also released, and3.6.10 is being released in a few months IIRC. :)

Hello, I'm studying HTL models and cockpit-ed models.
Very slow proceeding(^_^;).

Nico:
That plane came from the game "Silpheed".

U.S. publisher "Working Designs" is gone, so I can not show webpages written details in English.

Re: Hercules Mk 2 art piece?
Mmh, are you sure? I know Silpheed, that ship looks very similar indeed, but imho it's still a different one. I may be mistaken, of course, but there's several details that are different, that's why I was wondering.

Re: Hercules Mk 2 art piece?
Nico,
The fighter is surely "SA-77 Silpheed" from the game "Silpheed: The Lost Planet".
SA-77 can equip many different weapons, so its external detail may vary.

I found some interesting pics of Silpheed.
This is Japanese independent modeller's pages.

Correct me if I'm wrong but Nico's been away long enough to have missed the entire development of BtRL hasn't he? :D
