Graphics artist(s) needed!
« on: January 01, 2005, 10:38:30 AM »
Hey guys - im looking for someone who who can -and is willing to- create and/or modify Outpost pictures. It ranges from adding the "renegades" title to the logo to creating new images for the mission briefings.
Several of the existing pics can be found on the beta site soon.

Still here, it's just that University has ways of keeping people busy (very busy) even during the holidays.

Thanx for your replies, Zirkon & TRIX --
if you want to participate in the renegades design, you're quite welcome! Check this page for the logo's i got so far. Some of these are originals ripped from the program, others designed by me. I know you can do better, so please DO  :rolleyes:

id be using photoshop 6.0.1
how to insult a klingon:

qatlh Quch Hab ghaj no'ra'
vaj HabHa''a' je 'uSDu'lIj joj

wich translates roughly to:

how come you guys never had those for head bumps in the first staktrek series and do you guys have bumps like that on your genitals too?

Any help is welcome .. i'm not looking for the video's .. just the images to go with the briefings for now. We could do it in the same style as the original (3D graphics) but, since we're changing a lot already - we could go for a new 'look' of those images also..

First thing i need is a logo. My signature (see below) is an example i've created using PhotoShop 3 .. i think anybody could do better!  You will find the original OP2 bitmaps at my beta site (click screenshots & videos). Any samples can be sent to me at renegades@eddy-b.com and as soon as i got a couple entries, i will put ut a poll on this forum to people can actually choose between them.

I'll do my best:  <_<

I still need 12 pics (3d-stills, or even 2d) to go with the briefings of the Plymouth Campaign (see previous reply, above yours).
Size: 320x240  
Format: 24bit BMP[ol type=\'I\'][li]Mission 1: This is a simple basemission to have the player gather ore/food. So an image of a either a cargo-truck and/or a mine on a landscape with little or no vegetation (lightgrey rock) would be nice.[/li][li]Mission 2: This is the same setting and map as mission 1, but the objective is to escape with the units/cargo. I'd suggest a picture of a plymouth ConVec being attacked by some Eden Laser-lynx.[/li][li]Mission 3: Also a base-mission, where the player has to do a significant amount of research. It should be a picture of a Plymouth Basic Lab (NOT a standard lab). I could use the pic from the original game displaying a research-lab, but it could also be a new picture.[/li][li]Mission 4: Your basic "steal and get out" type mission. As i'm still working on mission 3, i'm not yet 100% sure what kind of picture this needs to be...[/li][/ol]Hope this helps out. Let me know if it doesn't!

[EDIT] I've added all the original bitmaps to my site: http://beta.eddy-b.com/bitmaps
Those 320x240 BMPs are in directory OP2SHRES; Bitmap_44.bmp ~ Bitmap_67.bmp

you can probobly use most of the game's default images for this, plenty would fit.   However, using new ones would make it fit probobly better.   Maybe stuff like listed below?

For Example:

Mission 1:   http://beta.eddy-b.com/bitmaps/OP2SHRES/Bitmap_62.bmp

Mission 2:   http://beta.eddy-b.com/bitmaps/OP2SHRES/Bitmap_56.bmp

Mission 3:   http://beta.eddy-b.com/bitmaps/OP2SHRES/Bitmap_57.bmp
..............   http://beta.eddy-b.com/bitmaps/OP2SHRES/Bitmap_58.bmp

Mission 4:   http://beta.eddy-b.com/bitmaps/OP2SHRES/Bitmap_61.bmp

Anyway, thats stuff I was thinking would go great

I think I could cook something up for you.  But it would be 2D.  I may as well give it a shot.

So far, i've gotten a lot of replies from people that all want to have a go at it, but as yet, i've had not a single image - or even a TRY of an image - back..
So, im asking again (since i can't draw that well) ... anyone who's really willing to draw up the pictures (320x240), let me know, and start drawing!

Draw? You mean pencil drawings? I can do that better than photoshop...

Sadly I don't think that is what you were looking for.

Oh yeah also I've tried to make a picture but it was turning out like ... crap ...
