Random SE:IV Art...

Greetings!

I've been browsing through the graphic 'archives' on my computer today and found some stuff I thought would be fun to post:

This was to be the 'Enoki Class' escort of the Juprup Federation shipset I was working on for a bit, and still might finish. If you've been around for a few years in the SE:IV community, you might remember my first SE:IV website when I was Capt Spoogy, the Spoogy Federation Database. It featured my first and only shipset I've finished and served as the inspiration behind this one. An interesting note is that the ships are actually based on a couple of physical models I made for a 'home' movie back in the mid-ninties.

The site is still up but hasn't been updated in almost two years. However, I think I might resurrect it in some form in the future.

Here are some more samples of different 'Juprup' concept ships I made.

The ship on the left is an escort and the ship on the right, a destroyer. They're not to scale in the pictures above, but the destroyer is about 1.5 times longer. Also, I used the same textures on the destroyer from the escort as I never got to making properly fitted ones for it. At the time, the escort was called the 'Enoki' class (hehe) and the destroyer was deemed 'Goopak' class.

OMG! You are Captain Spoogy???? I did not know that? OMG! J/k

(Really I had no idea.)

I remember the Spoogy Federation and your web site. LOL. You never updated my link!

You really should finish these sets Kwok, they would be excellent additions to the game.

i like the designs. what programs did you use to make them. i have been playing around with doga but what are you using to add the details?

Here are a couple more 'concept' ships I made for different forms of Captain Kwok's race.

The ship on the left is a 'Geezoid' frigate. The Geezoids were actually the true race that Captain Kwok belonged to, well at least when I created him back in the day. The ship on the right is a 'Rukbat' escort, basically I thought Rukbat sounded more serious that Geezoid for Captain Kwok. However, neither shipset panned out. The escort is also a low quality render, it seems I don't have the textures left anymore, just this old image.

If you are keeping count, Captain Kwok has been a Geezoid, Rukbat, and now Juprup, not to mention a honorary Federation citizen. Who knows what is next?

i remember asking long, long ago.. what happened to the spoogey federation? i submitted your name to the old fan site listings, because the spoogy federation was mighty. we used to get weekly (daily?) Spoogy Federation News!

but no more. my hopes and dreams lie shattered. there is nothing left of me, save for a burt out shell of a man. i am lost, and have no great space empires fan mods to fall back on. for i have already played out the popular ones, and the spoogy mod is denied to me. alas, all great things come to an end.. for only in great endings, do ...

nevermind.

I use Moray and POV-Ray. I tried Doga a while back, but didn't like it so much. I used to have lots more different ships (a made a few for a Terran race and some other non-Kwok stuff), but I deleted them some time ago (why?)

Here is an evolution of the Kwok character:

Top left is Kwok as a Geezoid, followed by top right where Kwok was a Rukbat. Bottom left, features Kwok as a Juprup (aka Speaker Kwok to those in my PBW games) and finally Captain Kwok in his Federation captain's uniform.

You can always make the PUKE mod.

Could you ever imagine us, as a rece, being conqured by something as odd looking as Captain Kwok and his people? Image what would be said.

"OMG the LGM from ???? are attacking!" (Military)
"They are hidious monsters with two eyes and green skin!" (Media)
"Oh I think they are rather cute looking." (Street Hooker)

"Betty raise the flag and get my gun!" (Red blooded American)
