Is anyone there who would offer me his/her modelling abilities?
I need a few ship graphics for my EVN TC “Dark Swarm”.
These ships are supposed to look like Dragons. Not like the Polaris Dragon, but like “real” fantasy dragons. They are not supposed to look organic, just like metal/technological reincarnations of dragons.
The ship types I need are:
Shuttlecraft
Transport (something like a Terrapin, just a bit more battle-handy)
Fighter
Corvette
Frigate
Cruiser
These ships are supposed to be used by a warlike race, so they're supposed to be quite battle-handy, even the cargo ships.
I tried to create some myself, but failed. Looks like I lack the creativity necessary to design original/unconventional stuff.
So if anyone would like to help me, write it here or contact me via email.

If you can draw 2d sketches of what you want I can probably model it.

Dragons? That sounds awfully cheesy. :rolleyes:

Cmon people, the (url="http://"http://www.AmbrosiaSW.com/cgi-bin/ubb/forumdisplay.cgi?action=topics&number;=20&SUBMIT;=Go")Chronicles(/url) are worth looking at.

Skyfox: If I could draft them, I could also model them. My problem is that I'm not even creative enough to design them.

Captain Phillips: Perhaps, but I heared from several people that my plugin graphics look much like grabbed from Polycon. Don't ask me why, I don't see any resemblances. But that's because I wanted something different. And because I like dragons.

Just a questions about the ships.

Do they need weapons, exept the obvious?

------------------
And then there were silence.................

Keep in mind that you'll need to model a certain infamous dragon as a bonus ship. At least there are directions for drawing that one.

Hrm... I don't know if this helps any, but the first thing I thought of when you mentioned dragons was this site: (url="http://"http://www.grand-novice.com/EVES-site/free_stuff_alien.html")http://www.grand-nov...tuff_alien.html(/url)
Scroll down a bit... perhaps it would give you some ideas for an approach? On taking another look (I haven't been to the site in ages...) they don't actually look like dragons... but again, maybe you or someone else will get some ideas. And besides, it gives me a lead in for my question unrelated to the topic:
Does anyone know what happened to this guy and his plug project? It looked pretty good until he fell off the face of the planet. (or so it appeared to me. I wasn't extremely active in the EV community back before the turn of the century...)

------------------
Pinky, are you pondering what I am pondering?
I think so, Brain, but if they called them sad meals, kids wouldn't buy them.

Mazer Rackham: What are you talking about?

rebelswin_85: I'll look at it, thanks.

Thanks to everyone who considered helping me, but I don't need your help anymore.
Modesty_blaise_us started to create dragons for me and the first results are pretty amazing.

I assume you're referring to a movie/game/whatever I don't know.
The word “trogdor (trogdoor?” is unknown to me.
