I currently have 3 ideas:

Constitution Luxury Class (my brother's design, I'll build the 3D version)
I (hopefully) will be able to add my andby brother's name to the image.

"Old Friends" or "Passing the Torch"

Or a picture using either my Argonaut or Polaris.

a really tough choice TBH ;) the luxury Connie looks really interesting

I was thinking about Proteus too, it's a really smooth and elegant design ;)

Scratch that, after doing a few renders, there is no good view to render from.

Well deserved invitation Willey!  :thumbsup:

Maybe the Polaris and the Valdore fighting would make a good scene too. ;)

Do a Connie and NX picture, so happy for you Wiley! About time you were asked and so well deserved!

Post by: captain_obvious on August 20, 2013, 09:15:57 AM
Okay WC, this is fantastic news :)
(yes, I only just noticed this)

if you do the connie/nx picture, perhaps a nod to BC and excalibur is in order?

Congratulations :)

This is what I sent him:

Keep in mind that these meshes (other than K7) were created for a PC game, and I would be happy to rebuild them into higher-resolution meshes. Personally, I like the one with Station K7. This is what I have so far:

Also also mentioned that these were meshes created for PC gaming and I'm capable of making high-res ones.

They all look great. I think you could get away with textured windows in a long shot, but if you're going to do closeups like the fist image, it might be worth you updating the mesh to include more modeled details.

Wiley, I've seen the line up, images and credits for SOTL '14 on memory beta (linky (http://memory-beta.wikia.com/wiki/Ships_of_the_Line_2014)) but I don't see anything by you and I don't see a mention of your name.

Unless you've been credited under a different name?

EDIT

Unless....you're the artist for the centre poster?  :P
