One more, before I turn in...

(fixed it. don't know what I was thinking. )

I'm going to make some more of these posters... Maybe some that are in the same style as the old movie posters?

 

[Captain_Cash]

I agree. And I honestly like yours a bit more. It seems less flat.

I'd like to see yours with gold deflector and red nacelle caps at some point.

I have the textures for it... and I tried it out. I didn't think it looked good enough to put out. The Red really doesn't look right, any more.

Blue is the new Red!

 

[Praetor]

That last one is terrific, Madman.

 

[sojourner]

Now That is a nice wallpaper!

 

[Kaiser]

Wow these are makeing me Like the new Enterprise Design alot more now

 

[Praetor]

Madman's work had that effect on me too.

 

[MadMan1701A]

Thanks, everyone. I need some poster ideas... If anyone has a poster they like, that I could use for inspiration, that would help.

Awesome, as always, Rick. Still waiting for some sketchbook scans.
How are you doing your backgrounds/spacescapes? Those are Very Nice.

Wonderful work.

I'm still not confident about those sketchbook scans. They probably only make sense to me, and it makes me look like I talk to myself.

I have started rendering the backgrounds in Blender, instead of doing a composite later. I make the Nebula, or Gas Cloud, as a texture in Photoshop. I then stick it on a plane, in Blender, and move it around until it gets to a spot that I like. I set it slightly transparent, so the stars show through, and then I'm done. It looks pretty good in the animation sequences, too.

Well, yeah, same here. Writing notes and stuff in the margins to ourselves and so forth...part of "sketchbook art" I suppose

I was really wondering about the nebuale and starscape elements, so, thanks, you exactly answered my question.

 

[Captain_Cash]

I don't know if it's possible. But i remember a series of posters that came out around oh ten or so years ago now that showed our favorite ships under construction.

I forgot to add, I have been using the Flaming Pear Glitterato plugin to generate some of the nebulae. It really produces neat things sometimes... sometimes not.

I was thinking about that, but didn't know how it would look, with the ships rendered in color, instead of the normal line/deck drawing. I'll investigate, though.

That's not a bad idea... Except I guess they are being built on the ground, now.

How about a head on shot of the Enterprise with the shield you have in your avatar in the background, all set against a starfield?

That's a good idea. I'll do it up like a movie poster... It's absolutely next on my list.

 

[USS Jack Riley]

^^Woo hoo!!!!

 

[MadMan1701A]

Updated my ship pages...

They look like posters, now, more so than before.

Now I can get back to work on the movie posters.

 

[Kaiser]
