Just now seeing this (don't get out here much anymore) but if I were able to vote I'd vote for 2019 as well. That would give PB the best opportunity to both get caught up production-wise and plan out a killer POH without having to sacrifice one for the other.

Oh now that looks fantastic. Great job!

Uncle Servo

You know, I would have paid real money to have been a fly on the wall during that gaming session... I don't think that's ever gonna get old.

Uncle Servo

They may have just not gotten to it yet with the load of work being done on Dimensional Outbreak. BTW, if it's any consolation, I like your art. It reminds me a lot of some of the Kevin Long stuff from early Rifts books (he's a fan favorite so take this as a compliment). Some of the ship art makes ...

Excellent!

I'm rather excited about this. Palladium's been a huge influence in my own work (as a click on my sig link will no doubt show) and would love to participate.

Uncle Servo

In which press release can this information be found? Last night was the first I had heard about this... and even that was from someone else.

Yep, I'd agree. You have gone crazy. "A few chainsaws short of a horror movie" crazy. But I like the idea.

Thanks. Well, if any of these get into a sourcebook (or Rifter) at some point in the future we can always call these its "baby pictures."

Uncle Servo

Update -- one of the new players in my Phase World campaign was given a Proctor by the Dimension Master and she was looking for something she could use. I like MADMANMIKE's interpretation that he's posted on his site, but ever since I first read through the PW book I've been wanting to tackle my own...

Uncle Servo

Alright, while we're at it with the Proctor I've got a few questions of my own... 1.) The Proctor is listed as having two laser cannons, but under 'M.D.C. by Location' they are described as being "on sides" while under the weapon description they are listed as being on the left side only. ...

Uncle Servo

Nice updates. Thanks muchly, as always... It looks bigger than the previous one. Yes and no. I flipped the width and height on the previous one to better keep the look of the original illustration, so it was roughly 70' wide and 50' tall (turrets stuck out farther then too). This version has the wi...

Uncle Servo

Thanks, I appreciate it. My conscience has gotten the better of me however... I was commenting on how far off the original illustration was, yet the one I did wasn't that much closer to the stats. So with that in mind I went back and re-worked it to match up as closely to the description/stats as po...

I had seen the first one but not the second. VERY nice! PB should get whoever did that on the payroll. That'd make an awesome cover for a Rifter or sourcebook.

Uncle Servo

No that's fine. I was reading some posts on this BBS and saw that lots of people like the L-20. I had remembered you'd done that < render of a pistol that looks like a photograph > and just wondered how many other weapons you might have done that I missed. That < render of a pistol that looks like ...

Uncle Servo

I've done a couple (one of which is in my Flickr PB Samples set), but not the L-20. I'm about to have to do the NG-202 Rail Gun and the NG E-12 Plasma Ejector as they're what the hover platform is packing on those side mounts; if those turn out well I could give the L-20 a shot if you're needing one.

Uncle Servo

I'll have to take a look at that, thanks! And I'll probably need it for this project. My player group over at Explorers Unlimited (The Templars, for those of you EU folks who don't know already) has a stripped-down Triax XM-140 hover platform (that's the one with the big missile on the inside splash...

Uncle Servo

Say what?!? Did you even watch the new series at all? Yes, I watched the original mini-series. Certain elements were interesting, but overall I felt like all those good memories of watching the original series as a kid were butchered by a bunch of people who were trying to make a name for themselve...

Is that a UV Map? Yes it is. I based the hull texture off an image I found over at Filter Forge. Well, actually there are three different images at work here -- the white hull with red stripes, the red hull with white stripes, and the engine nozzles. The windows are a section of the hull texture im...

Hmmm... that's a good question actually. For me, I'd have to go with: ⋅ Star Wars (more so the original trilogy than the prequels, and don't get me started on the Clone Wars travesties) ⋅ Star Trek (mainly the movies, though I was a huge TNG fan and enjoyed DS9) ⋅ Firef...

Update on the yacht revamp... 3/4 Front View Rear View Side View The red color in the previous post was inspired by the shade available on the current model Honda S-2000 roadster, but in the end looked a bit too "harlot" (as a friend put it) so I went with a white base and added in some da...

Hey Servo, what the basic dimensions on the SX-4 ? 20 meters long as I recall. The stupid thing about the SWRPG (I guess I really should instead say "one of the ever-increasing number of stupid things about Star Wars in recent years," but that's a rant for another thread) is that it no lo...

Uncle Servo

That is a cool ship! Any chance of getting stats on it? It looks like a CAF shuttle. Thanks! As this is supposed to be a Star Wars ship, there are Saga Edition stats/writeup for it... but for that same reason I don't think we'll be seeing Palladium-style stats. Now that that sourcebook is completed...

Uncle Servo

Alright, now that the sourcebook's been uploaded to the FC website I can post it here too:

SX-4 Troop Transport

It can be found on p.153 in the compiled Vehicles & Vessels chapter that can be found here.

Uncle Servo

I'll give you more kind words if you do more art like that. C'mon, where can you get a fairer deal than that? I don't have any new line art that I can share quite yet... but hopefully within the next few days I'll be able to... In the meantime though, I do have some rough renders of that heavy figh...

Uncle Servo

Awesome line art, Servo. I had no idea you were a talented artist. Your weapons & ships are especially well crafted. Thanks, I appreciate the kind words. I do also like your 'JL' style illustrations. Did you have a template of some sort to work with on those, or was that entirely done by hand? ...

Nice work ! I like the line-art/comic book feel. Is that it for your ships on FLICKR ? Thanks! I've been heavily influenced by Palladium's stable of artists over the years -- Long, Breaux, Perez, Martin, Johnson, Williams, just to name a few -- so I guess I subconsciously go into these projects wit...

I really like the heavy fighter/bomber in that first batch! Is PB going to use it? Thanks. I'm also quite envious of the stuff you've put up here and on your outside gallery site. I have got to improve my own rendering skills. You guys are putting me to shame! I don't know if PB is ever going to us...

I'm LOVIN' that fighter. Been trying to master carrara, and I worked out a new scout ship as a test for the texturing (which was my biggest hurdle). Here's the Boone-Class Scoutship.

Those look fan-freakin'-tastic, Mike. VERY well done!

Uncle Servo

That's certainly a gift. I used to be good at estimating distances, but that kinda atrophied after I stopped playing Battle Fleet Gothic (was a fair terror with my nova cannons). I've been looking over these ships again, and I think I'd be able to work things out based on the panels in the cargo ram...

Hey Mike, do you have a set standard for sizes on your ships, particularly the ones in the shuttles index?

Nice work, Uncle Servo! If I may suggest, scfi-meshes.com has a few really good spaceship oriented tutorials for Wings (at least one I know of done by a guy who does some pretty amazing 3d models of WH40K: Battlefleet Gothic models in Wings and Blender). My recommendation is simply something you ca...

Hello all, I've been trying to develop my skills in 3D modelling with Wings 3D (can't stay old school too long, you know) with the idea of using models to work out general shapes in more traditional illustrations (in the short term, anyway -- full-out rendering is more a long-term goal).
