Alrighty guys; it's been a while since I've managed to bring myself to complete the wiki articles relating to the 3D models and other artwork I've made. It seems I have a tendency to enjoy the process of making the artwork related to a particular project, but when it comes to writing up the needed wiki info afterward I kinda lose motivation and let things drag on far, far too long, then let myself get distracted by something else.
As such I'm going to try something a little different.
From now on I'm mostly going to concentrate on making just an artwork contribution to the setting -- which is the bit I apparently enjoy the most. Whether or not anything gets done with that art is going to be mostly up to you guys now
Art Gifts
Occasionally on a whim I'll create stuff targeted toward a particular SARP faction; when done I'll post it here and it essentially becomes the property of that factions manager -- they can make a wiki article for it and use it as they wish, save it for later, or not use it at all (they are of course not under any obligation to make use of what I give them, as I'm mostly creating this stuff for my own enjoyment -- though being able to make some kind of contribution to the setting would be nice -- if even only art). If someone other than the faction manager wants to make use of the artwork, they'll need to ask them, as I'm essentially turning over the rights for it to them in these gift instances.
Adoptable Art
Occasionally I'll make art that isn't targeted towards a specific existing faction; it might be something like planet artwork, or space station models, ship models etc, or maybe even a set of related designs made in a similar style. If I'm willing to turn over the rights to the artwork so that it can see some use in SARP, i'll put it up for adoption here. Make a request in the thread to let me know you're going to use it.
Requests
I'm now also going to be accepting requests for specific pieces of artwork; limited to planet art and vehicles, equipment and architectural stuff like starship models, space station models, weapon models, ship compartments etc. You can get me to make something original for a article submission you are doing, or perhaps update some old artwork, etc.
I won't do character art (mostly because I believe I suck at it and its time-consuming and a pain in the butt to do), nor a few varieties of equipment like power armor (which I have to draw 2D in photoshop and has the same issues as character art because my 3D modelling program sucks for organic, humanoid shapes).
I'm limiting this to 2 slots at the moment mainly so that if this doesn't pan out, I don't disappoint a load of people while making the attempt. If things do work out, I may increase the number of slots. As a rule, I won't accept requests from the same individual twice in a row so that other people will get a chance. Because these are 'requests' and not commissions I'm not charging money, -- but I'm also not under any real obligation to finish either -- this is pretty much just me making stuff for fun/as a hobby.

Okay, now that that's done, here's the first batch of things I'm gifting/putting up as adoptable art:
Current Gifts
The Izanagi
Intended Faction: Yamatai / Star Army
Gifted: @Wes
Current WIP wiki article/art: https://wiki.stararmy.com/doku.php?id=stararmy:starships:izanagi
I'm gifting the Izanagi and all related artwork to Wes and the Yamatai faction to do as they will. You or anyone you allow can finish off the existing but still incomplete wiki article or else redo it completely if you wish, I won't make a fuss or argue about any changes. Essentially its all yours to do with as you see fit. (Considering the newest artwork for the Izanagi was not created by me in this instance but by Adamkop and cost me a couple hundred dollars in a commision, I'm really, REALLY, hoping it gets some use
The Naginata
Intended Faction: Yamatai / Star Army
Gifted: @Wes
Current WIP wiki article/art: https://wiki.stararmy.com/doku.php?id=stararmy:starships:naginata-class_battlecruiser
The model artwork for the Naginata is actually completely my own, but done in imitation somewhat of Adamkop's style. It was originally intended for use as a Star Army plotship.
As with the Izanagi, the Naginata's yours to depose of as you would Wes; you can try and finish off the existing wiki article, or start from scratch if you want, etc.
Adoptables
"Jiyu" (Freedom) Light Freighter
Current WIP wiki article/art: https://wiki.stararmy.com/doku.php?...bital_shipyards:ms-l1-1a_jiyu_light_freighter
My bastard love child of a couple Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic starships (from which I obviously drew design inspiration). The Jiyu was originally intended for my Yamataian Corp as a product, but I never finished off its article. I intend to go in a different direction design-wise for that corps ships, so its artwork is now free for someone else to use for their own corp/faction or for some other purpose.
The Akatsuki Maru
This model was intended for an abortive plot-ship concept I had but never finished; the design was supposed to be a modified origin medium-freighter. I believe Wes also discovered the artwork hiding amongst others in the wiki image storage despite the fact I had deleted its wiki article and used it for the 'Other Factions & Independent Roleplaying' forum banner.
Someone can adopt this artwork -- for use as a plotship or perhaps some other purpose.
Akashi
"Akashi" was going to be a terraformed mars-type planet serving as the main base for my corp until I changed my mind and removed the article for it. The artwork is available for use as an alternative to the usual randomly generated planet art.
As such I'm going to try something a little different.
