Artwork & Creativity

In this thread, we post useful tutorial links that we've found, which can help us to create our own artworks for Star Army stuff. Make A Realistic Star Field Make a Planet The Ultimate GIMP Planet Tutorial

Thanks Mark

Well to put it Two of my friends and I are doing a podcast where we talk about various things Music,Anime,Video games and general nerdness amongst other things. So swing by and give us a listen if your vaguely interested I guess. Oh also we use a lot of swears so yeah don't play it on blast at work. http://twodudesandabro.com/

I came up with this in the shower this morning.

http://chirb.it/Enn2zn Some of you might have heard snippets of it on IRC yesterday, but here's the full deal. Episode 1 of the Calgary Jones Show. There are still outtakes I haven't uploaded, as well as a cut commercial for 'Nepleslian Cheese'. Let me know if you like/dislike this or if you're interested in participating in future episodes of the show. I had a lot of fun making this, and I think you guys would really enjoy it, too!

Ryujin's commissions thread for mecha-related artwork. I'm currently working on the IronMan PA for Fredrick. Colour & Design test, for comments, suggestions, etc.: $10 per commission, and my dA site is at http://ryujindx.deviantart.com/.

Why this thread? At this point there is no real standard for Elysian ships in terms of looks. We have a little idea for them, but there is no "official" idea how the ships are supposed to look. For instance, are they blocky? or are they completely organic? Or a mix between organic and tech? Some examples of Elysian ships https://wiki.stararmy.com/doku.php?id=elysia:avenger https://wiki.stararmy.com/doku.php?id=elysia:crataeis https://wiki.stararmy.com/doku.php?id=elysia:concordia https://wiki.stararmy.com/doku.php?id=elysia:nariel_battlecruiser https://wiki.stararmy.com/doku.php?id=elysia:evangelist https://wiki.stararmy.com/doku.php?id=elysia:planetary_defence_satellite...

I'm thinking I've gotten good enough to flaunt what I do now. So yeah. Mecha So-M1-1A Erla VANDR, Pride of the Commonwealth A... Yojimbo Robot? Old VOID art. It got better, if I can find it. Note the Zaku Head shoulders. Old VANDR concept art. Incredibly metal death robot. No pun intended. Characters Serhan Nejem! Misc/Fanservice Thortsten Calhoun, Fan Disservice Pattern 131 Linksuit, Female Iroma wearing only a towel, a smile and unedited lineart. Not Really SFW.

Ok. so i think this is the right place for me to post a question/request like this but if not please spare the beatings (just getting back into this website so i'm trying to reacquaint myself where everything is) To get to the point i have a character that has been dormant for quite some time. He has been in about 3 plots and total in character wise is about 3 to 4 years old. ill use the Chibi commission guide for the info...

Alright! Most of my stuff can be found at cubizar.deviantart.com Nontheless I wanted to highlight some art that's related to Sci-Fi and SARP! Such as And And As well as This link here, because it's such a high resolution it would never fit on screen. The same goes for this drawing of a neato bulky ship! And this funky ship design sketch, the Void Shriek! And a neat little banner for my first plot here! Adding more stuff soon when I get to fiddling with Nebulae and such!

Everyone's favorite voracious bug-like murder machine has expanded her wardrobe! Feast your eyes on this YE's hippest fashions. My personal favorites? Party Bug Killer (row1,#2) and Snug-As-A-Bug-In-A-Rug Killer (row2, #1). Beach Bug Killer (row3, #2) is just so cute though... it's a tough decision! I had to scale it down some to fit the board, so you can't see the Killer's medal on the middle-right. It reads "Voted Best Evil NPC of 2011". Because, technically, she was! :V

This is a story I wrote some time ago. No real point to me posting it here except I thought you guys might like to read it. I dunno. This is about a boy who kills someone and is in turn sentenced to death. It doesn't sound too classy, but maybe you'll like it. I can't say. People I've shown it to have liked it. Feel free to post in here with crit. --------------------------------------------- A sigh as I step into the courtroom. My brother, my partner in crime – the one time he leaves me alone, and I mess up. Staring at me from across the room, more disappointed at me for getting caught than angry at me for killing someone. At the same time, a sob – the wife, or sister, or whatever, of the man I stabbed three days ago. She hates me...

Hey guys! Been a while since I posted my first 2308 story installment. This one is focused quite a bit more on the characters, and centers around William Hensen, James Hensen's brother, going to visit his beau in the hospital, who's sick with T-cell prolymphocytic leukemia! Enjoy! ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ While his brother was out and about, William Hensen had stayed at home and spoken on the phone to their new client, a man he knew only as Oleg. He had made plans to meet the man at night with his brother and further discuss the job, but had the rest of the day free until James got back. With a few hours to kill, William knew exactly what to do. He donned a...

Well, I've been talking for a while about posting up some of my 2308 short stories here, and I've recently finished part one of my first story! Would appreciate critique, but this is mostly to flesh out my setting and entertain my SARP friends. Here goes! ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ There was a quiet click and a few moments of static as the rugged 22nd century video monitor slowly came to life. The shadowy face of a young man in his mid-twenties appeared, his head and shoulders visible. He had dark black hair in a crew cut, blue eyes, and a gaunt face with a grim expression. “Greetings from the year 2308. My name is James Hansen. This...

The wiki's background color is now #000020, which matches the forums. If you see an image that was using a non-transparent background and you'd like it updated to the new darker blue, you can post its url here and I will replace it with an updated version. No animated images please.

Just making my own topic to post up things I'd like to share -- not as if you guys haven't seen other stuff like it before. :o I mostly write, so expect that sort of thing -- long posts to this topic with WALLS OF TEXT. (If it's exceptionally long, I'll make a link to a DeviantArt page I'll set up in the future.) I may soon start drawing, so maybe it'll be broken up every now and again? Any character art I receive for my characters will also go here if I can manage it.

Attention StarArmy～ ! Due to unforseen events (my boyfriend had to go in to have seven teeth removed and his employer is being a huge bitch about it) we are now flat broke and unable to pay for anything beyond basic utilities until the 2nd of next month so Osaka is officially open for commissions to put food on the table! The rules (not ruurus) are pretty simple: 1) I will draw & CG anything or anyone. 2) I will 3D model almost anything. That's right. Ships, armor, stations, fighters, weapons, you name it, I'll make it happen. I'm an experienced automotive and mechanical modeler but I'm also not too bad with people. Even if the art is of a slightly 'precarious～♥' nature, Osaka doesn't mind! She'll draw ANYTHING! I'm not...

With a new race comes a demand for artwork, at this time I am unsure if I will be attempting to draw myself or work it out or commission someone, so this is place holder / advertisement for now. Link to wiki: https://wiki.stararmy.com/doku.php?id=species:aeonic

As some people know I am doing 3d modeling again. I am not a artist that creates stuff out of thin air but I take my time and do it in some off hours. Of course people can always ask if I can create simple stuff with 3d. Even some more advanced stuff might be doable but expect that to take a long time to complete. The following links are stuff I have created for people here in SARP: Aendri: Breaker Automatic Burst Rifle https://wiki.stararmy.com/lib/exe/fetch.php?cache=&media=cranth:breakerside.png https://wiki.stararmy.com/lib/exe/fetch.php?cache=&media=cranth:breakertop.png This area is reserved for WIP's and personal stuff: Personal: Custom PA http://img9.imageshack.us/i/pawip.png

Well, I joined the ranks, so to speak. I'm not really a role player much anymore (although I do have a "total immersion" scenario for my sci-fi series Starship Moonhawk™ which I beta tested with mild success 3 years ago on our forum). But! I *DO* do all manner of sci-fi (and sometimes fantasy/horror) artwork for VERY reasonable prices. Just ask my oft partner-in-crime Kim. She'll tell ya! Sample: http://maciapaladin.deviantart.com/art/Sarai-Eros-Commission-4-Realz-76835361 Anyway... my rates are posted in my journal, and progress updates will be posted regularly. (in fact, it'll be the primary topic in my journals for a while... I need money...) Oh well. Not the BEST intro thread, but at least I'm not beating around the bush. :) ~Mace

New Art in, this is just the concept piece, more will be arriving. https://wiki.stararmy.com/doku.php?id=gartagens:psyche&s[]=gartagen&s[]=psychology

Recently added a profile pic for my Nepleslian marine: https://wiki.stararmy.com/doku.php?id=ch ... dra_volkov Not that I claim to be an amazing artist in the slightest, but I do find an it enjoyable hobby and I'm constantly improving. I also have some photos I've taken and some stories I've written on it too. So feel free to check out my art site: http://cyborgakadjmoose.deviantart.com/

When I get bored, I mess around with DoGA, and make various things. While I normally focus on starships and the like, I have recently began venturing into the realm of personal vehicles. I do take requests, and enjoy making stuff for other people, so don't be shy, but, if you have talents of your own, don't be surprised if I ask for something in return. Here's some of my more recent work:

WIP for the NTD-R07-X Gendarme: placeholder and blueprint for commission work. Still fiddling with the limb size while I layer on the torso. Neck might need bulking up, lengthening, or both. Need to figure out how I'm going to draw myomer with a small canvas and pixels.

https://wiki.stararmy.com/doku.php?id=nam:grenades Yay, our grenade page has artwork now.

Yeah, I'm back in the mecha making business again, and I actually need opinions on this new model i'm working on. Namely, the proportions. I was intentionally making the proportions slight inhuman, but I was worried I made it too spindly

Listen up y'all to the cautionary tale A story about how the fun became fail It was two thousand three, the war was on The president told the troops to get gone To Iraq we were going the commander said "But first you're getting checked if you're right in the head" Murphy was a private at my duty station We were both young soldiers trying to serve the nation But Murphy had a habit of blasting musical sound When Murphy drove up up you felt the bass in the ground Around our helicopters we wore hearing protection Because the decibel levels gave a high detection But when Murphy drove around to my recollection He always had the volume level up on the highest selection The Army said "Rejection! You can't go overseas. Because your ears are...

Hello, My name is Jason and I've been perusing your site for some time now. I've been looking for an original sci-fi writers group and this came the closest. Unfortunately still not what I was looking for, but that's not what this post is about. I plan on reading everything, but would like to contribute to you all where I can. I'm an artist that is freed up for commission work, you can find my stuff here: http://cross-bonez.deviantart.com/ and my prices here: http://crossbonez1.blogspot.com/ Thanks for your time, Jason

Zumbie He was dead but he went on He wouldn't stop before his son He wouldn't eat him too Not becuse they would sue He didn't had the taste for meat He could never hurt cause he was neat He was hungry he was dead He went on where his path lead He were only one of kind Even when he lost his mind His way was long and hard He went away from his sons yard He got to end without his brain In the wheat field where he said "Graiinnnnns!" And there he ate, he wasn't full And since then his death wasn't dull

Well I downloaded Doga a few days ago and I've been messing around with it. I also downloaded that package of pre-designed pieces from SA. I thought I would put some of the stuff I'm making up on here for you guys and girls to look at. :) Feel free to give constructive crit and stuff. I know I'm not the best and advice on how to get better would help. Arid Armor and Weapon http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u56/Prowlingdarkness/Arid.jpg

This was made for a early Valentine's Day e-Card, and was so awesomely awful, I -HAD- to make this thread for it and any future MS paint shenanigans. Valentine's Day

A friend found this on deviantart. very helpful for those who use SAI, and probably several other programs as well. TUTORIAL!

This Poem is the poem the Abwehran Star Empire will be using as its national anthem from now on. I wrote it, and Matt seemed to like it. He also insisted I post it here to show off. So... Here it is. Freedom By SSharp Freedom rides on golden wings, It soars high through the sky. Freedom rides on golden wings, Its shadow covers us all. Freedom walks in our halls, Hidden from sight, but protective of all. Freedom walks in our halls, To teach and love us all. Freedom, oh Freedom, So precious; So loved. Freedom, oh Freedom, Be with us always. Freedom is our shield, to keep us from danger and save us from harm. We hold our Freedom close. Freedom, oh Freedom, So precious; So loved. Freedom, oh Freedom, Be with us always. From the...

Think Elton John.... STAR ARMY WATCHING OVER US By Wes All across the universe From the blue rift to the Earth There's not a person who can yet describe The value life is worth And when the world seems doomed and dark outside Underneath the stars above I look up and I wonder for the people that I love Maybe-there's-a Star Army...watching over me A force up above, that humanity can't see Maybe-there's-a Star Army...come to save the day Opening minds, and leading the way ...to love. Across the vast distance, In a galaxy so far, A planet in my imagination, Orbits 'round her star. From the rainy streets of Kyoto, The valkyries come to help And cross across the universe To see the ordinary world themselves Maybe-there's-a Star...

Something to think about.

Welcome to phacon aka dusk's Art Page. Seeing as how I am probably going to need to draw more pictures in the future, I thought I make a page so I can get feedback. Over the years I have learned I really cannot draw, so I take apart drawing to use a building blocks. Much of this artwork is will be used in someway for an Azorean plot.... hopefully My deviant art page can be found at http://n30sh4d0w.deviantart.com/

••Updates!•• I think it is about time to get my own thread up, and not use DocTomoe's old thread anymore. Besides that, there is a bit of drama in there that I don't need re-posting. SO! This will be my official thread to order from me, to also look over my prices, sample art, and DA, though a lot of you don't need it. This is just helpful to those that are new at commissioning me. And yes... I'm making this look super effing nice. Enjoy~ ••Commission Status: CLOSED•• ••Terms and Rules!•• •• WHAT I DO •• I will do couples. (yaoi and yuri) I can TRY to do backgrounds. I do men, women, and girly boys/bishounen. I draw ANTHROMORPHIC characters. I WILL draw tasteful nudity! Ecchi and erotic is also fine. I can draw MOST...

I've just received the final version of the Iromakuanhe scene I commissioned David Holland to make. I found him via DeviantArt. Take a look: https://wiki.stararmy.com/lib/exe/fetch. ... _scene.jpg I'm super pleased with how it turned out. I'm pretty certain I will be commissioning him again for more Star Army illustrations.

.... Shouldn't we have a sticky page with details about active artists here, or something like that? I've been thinking of getting a commission just to piss of Fi - I mean, because I believe it would contribute to the site a bit, but I've had a hard time asking. Anybody?

I'll be posting MP3s of my (computer-generated) music, both SA-related and not. And if I get suitable recording equipment (i.e. money) at any point, recordings too. To start with I have stuff for the Iromakuanhe! Iromakuanhe Stuff Iromakuanhe Lullaby - "Tumbledown" Sund Wakir Temple Hymn - "Resolution" Sund Wakir Chimes Eyr Ranr Folk Tune - "Moonrise" Bahram Wing - Reovan Mehta's Theme - "Simmering" Bahram Wing - Zus Storhan's Theme - "Shiny Daydreams" Bonus: Unrefined MIDI of Iromakuanhe Lullaby take 1 (rejected) Bonus: Original Piano Scoring for Zus Storhan's Theme Yamatai Stuff YSS Eucharis - Hamada Shizu's Theme - "Forethought" More to come. If you want me to do something for you, I do take requests, but I can't promise a time...

Fay asked me to do a small symbol for Azorea. After doing one in paint, I eventually got a brainwave and did some other factions. They are (Left to right) Azorea, YSE, SRSS Ygg, IPG, SAINT Luca, Nepleslia, UOC, Norians So, anyone want symbols done for their factions or want to contribute their own 32 by 32 pixellings to add to this? EDIT: All of my other pencillings and pixellings go here now!

Now that Ageha is officially on the Senbu (Well, at least as far as the JP has been played, even if it hasn't been posted yet.) I figured I'd update the old artwork. I fixed the base color to the standards on the wiki and actually put some effort into the patches, insignia and shading. I might go back later and edit the barrettes to be a little more distinctive, but overall I'm happy with how the image turned out, at least for another hour or so and decide it's trash. :V I'm already starting to notice the little imperfections... For comparison, the old picture: And the new, improved art:

So there's been this "My Chick's Bad" song on the radio lately, and I was brainstorming Star Army versions. My chick's bad, my chick's fun A Marine Corps Nep with a truckload of guns She holds her liquor, and understands man And parties in ways that your chick wish she can My chick's Neko, she don't wear clothes She wears volumetrics from her head to her toes She's tough in a fight and can take a lot of pain And post the video after with her digital brain.

I saw at least one that featured some of our latest art. Lookin' slick, Wes!

I'm looking for whatever tool that Exhack used to make the planetary picture of Maekerdan, here https://wiki.stararmy.com/doku.php?id=planet:maekardan

I've ran into a dead end with a song I've been writing for a thread in Nepleslia. Seeing as this is the art board, I'm sure someone here will have talent to help me write lyrics for the 'trio' section of the march. Beware crappy Nepleslian singing. : ) Edit: The lyrics so far, written by Cyber-Korpse:
