Default New Race Portraits Site...!



Hey guys, I am new to SEIV and I love the customizability of it. In my quest to add something I settled on some new race portraits (128x128, 36x36 and 20x20) to go along with the beautiful custom ship sets that have been made by others, and created a small site at:

http://jdtaylor.home.mindspring.com

I will add new races over time and will also add _main files for each race for that extra bit of distinction. In time, I hope to add AI files as well.

Cheers,
Monolith

Do you do custom requests?

Also, you are in the news (at SE.net).

Thanks Fyron, I appreciate the coverage!

As for requests, I can try. The models are not really mine, but that of the Instant Monsters toolkit, a library of sorts for meshes. Coloring (and skinning) them, adding little bits to them here and there, or sticking pieces together in some cases is all I have done _so far_. That being said, I can draw and visualize pretty well, and I am open to ideas people have for races, so send me what you might have as an idea and I will see what I can do. I am still trying to learn Cinema 4D too, but it's pretty friendly a tool, and I have a strong desire to do some pure custom races. Thanks again!

It would be for a race that make ships looking like this:

Battle Cruiser:


Large Fighter:


The race is somewhat draconic (though not actually dragons... ). They are mean and nasty, so they should look fearsome and, well, nasty. Also, they make use of organic technology.

tsk, tsk. there's no reason for nasty races to look nasty.

Welcome to the forum Monolith.

You do realize now that many of us will have to make ship sets to fit those races?
