Awesome pics.

Sean are you keen on designing another ship?

[Titan Designer]

I wouldn't mind I haven't designed one in about a year.

[Saquist]

I encourage you to.

You know I wasn't a fan of your ship from the outset.
I admit to a certain lack of vision as to how truly good the design was because it wasn't a beautiful design. (which is what I wanted) But as I saw it come to life it became apparent as too how well thought out it was. It exceeds far over the Sovereign and Prometheus and maybe the best designed along side Galaxy and Intrepid.

It maybe for no official capacity but I'd hate to see this be the sole splash in the ocean as far as big projects are concerned.

Here is a $35 Starship Registry Change Commission for Shari Woods.
She wanted the Basic Luna Class Starship
but with her Name and Registry swapped in instead of the Titan's.

I have decided that if there is a want I will continue these
kind of commissions. Not limited to the Luna Class. I will open this to all of my designs.
$35 for name and registry swaps. A little more say if you wanted the I.S.S. Titan
Converted (Colors and Markings) to a Variant U.S.S. Titan.
($10-$15 more Depends on the Modifications asked for).

******UPDATE**************************

DO NOT DO COMMISSION FOR SHARI WOODS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She paid via paypal, then when she received the Digital
File from me she had paypal withdraw the payment. I contacted her and she said it was her bank that took the money back and it wasn't her fault. I arranged for her to
send a check, she said she would send payment via snail mail, have not received payment as of yet. She does not return emails now.
So again DO NOT ACCEPT COMMISSIONS FROM SHARI WOODS!!!

Sincerely
Sean Tourangeau

Damn that sucks Sean. I would have taken that money out before she had taken it back. But that is messed up through.

^^^ I don't think it would have mattered. IIRC, if you have a checking account or credit card hooked up to PayPal it will pull the money out of that linked account. If you don't have a linked payment account (don't think this is even possible, actually), then you would have a negative balance that would be filled up whenever you received money into PayPal at a later time. Either way, you loose. Definitely sounds like she pulled a fast one. Sorry to hear about that, Sean. It's always a sad affair when someone doesn't pay up for delivered work.

What pisses me off is that she paid initially and once I delivered the final art she pulled the money. Really Low if you ask me.

[137th Gebirg]

Agreed. If she didn't like what you did and asked for the payment back it would be one thing, but waiting to receive the high-res files you made for her, pulling the cash and then coming up with some obviously B.S. excuse blaming it on the bank takes it to a whole different level of unethical. This sounds like a simple case of getting something for free.

I haven't run into this particular issue myself (although I have been stiffed on invoices for my work in the past and I definitely know what you're experiencing here), however PayPal does have a "Resolution Center" where you can dispute a transaction. If all your interactions with this woman are via email, you have an active paper trail that you can use to prove your case and maybe get some recompense. Don't know if it will work, but there is that option. Give it a whirl and see what shakes loose. Good luck and let us know what happens. I am genuinely curious to see if it works...

[Kaiser]

ouch... keep us updated on this situation

[SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri]Well it looks like it is time for me to dust off my starship designing tools. I am planning on entering the Design The Next Enterprise contest that STO will be holding. I don't know if I can get lightening to strike twice, but it is worth a shot. Sketch book is ready to sketch out designs. Good luck to everyone else that is planning on entering. Can't wait to see what people will come up with.[/FONT][/SIZE]

Great work, sir!
