Thunderfleet is GO!!
We got a couple hints of Fanderson in last month's challenge, but this time, it's the whole nine yards! This time, the Great Thunderbird of the Galaxy is none other than Gerry Anderson, who in an alternate universe created shows like Supercar, Joe 90, UFO and Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons. What would Gerry Anderson's Star Trek look like? Would it be peopled with puppets? Would Uhura have a purple wig? Would Starfleet's mission be hunting down aliens who preyed on unsuspecting Federation worlds in search of organs (Hammond, or hearts and lungs)?
Just imagine it! In fact, that is your mission: imagine what Gerry Anderson might have done if he, and not Gene Roddenberry, had created the same characters and the same overall concept, but with his own unique style and methods. The main restriction here: no Photoshopping - either of Trek images or of any Anderson-related properties. Gerry made shows from scratch, right down to his actors, and you've got to make your entries from scratch, too. So whether it's Sylvia-inspired outfits, or massive, overcomplicated vehicles, or Spock-on-strings, create something that makes your viewers say, "Wow! That looks like something from Gerry Anderson!"
This month, we're gonna party like it's Space:1999!
--------
As with every monthly challenge, entries are due by midnight on the last day of the month; send your entry (one final image) to ptrope at gmail dot com (don't count on the moderator to look thorugh the threads for what you want to submit to the final poll, because he's really lazy that way!
). The winner of the challenge will then set the challenge to his or her fellow members for next month. Good luck!
