This is a continuation and sticky of my older artwork thread here

Thanks Jigaly mate
Anyway ill start with my latest
This is the latest but unfinished version of the BOTF2 splash screen i have made
The Logo is intended for use througout the game too

Cool, I really like it. A job well done!

Looks nice! Keep up the good work.

Latest
This took me a while


Please post your comments, thoughts and feedback

getting much better as ya go along, maybe if ya can add a kling ship and dominion, with all 5 majors battling a borg ship that just come into the planets range, that would be absolutly sweet as the botf 2 title screen

ok i love the pic, its very nice

that said im going to be an arse and point out some tiny things...... Personally im not keen on the voyager pic, its too 2d for the brillinat planet scene benind.

something more like this



Also i dont really like the font, it feel to simple for the brilliantly complex background

I like that VOY pic, although the Space Dock doesn't do it justice.

Star Trek fonts are easy enough to find, so a bunch of splash creans can be made with every stype of Star Trek font out there. I actualy have a bunch of Star Trek fonts. Including alien ones like Ferengi, Klingon, Bajoran, Kzinti, Borg I think.

The final one just amuses me.

Looking better every time SMIFFGIG. Heres my opinions.

The Intrepid looks fine, but I think I would rather see a Soverign, Akira or perhaps a (dont everybody hit me) Excellsior instead, but not a Galaxy. Shes a pretty ship, but overdone.

Maybe only one more differnt race ship in the screen, a Vorcha perhaps.

Others have said it, but I agree that something different should be done with the cloud cover. Its a small detail, but I think its an important one, nevertheless.

And I agree with the others about the font, newer style ST font would be better.

But she looks great, keep up the good work.

Pff, ive been working at it again
I hope this ship is more preferable compared to the voyager


Also if you have comments regarding graphics, it would help tremendously if you posted up acompanying graphics or links to them

I will experiment with new fonts next, but it also means tottaly re styling the font layers

hey!

tbh i think we are all bin far too nitpicky lol, and that the second picture (http://www.tiberiumsun.com/forum/files/ ... iffgig.jpg) (i wont link it due to high BW) in my opinion is actually better!

Remember too many cooks spoil the broth so if we have a ship form every race and a huge borg cube (that hasnt bin done before ) battlin the other shipsthen it will look liek TOO MUCH.

[edit] it also makes a class background!!

You know i think i am 100% satisfied with the latest picture, great work! I guess some people might think it would be odd to have a nx instead of a galaxy, but i think that it looks excellent how it is at the moment. let's see what others think about it.

i like the voy one better, but i like them both, and either would be a good logo.

Doesn't sit with me well yet. I suggest these three images. The Romulan ship will have to have a bit more shadow and the Klingons ship will need the bright spots iluminated more to match the NX. I had to removed the name from the NX because I had to flip it horizontaly to get the correct orientation.

I was thinking they would be presented top to bottom in that order since the way they are tilted seems best for that order. The Warbird going slightly up, and the other two angles down.

Only thing Id say about the fed ship is its outdated compared to some of the others. I dont think any of Diarrs images are needed as it would be much simpler to update the fed ship to a newer version than change all the ships. I don't think the clouad coverage needs to be changed either. I understand where some people are coming from with the text, its a minor point though. To be honest I think it would be fine as a splash screen, its better than anything else ive seen. Its is extreemly good and professionaly done.

Im currently working on a new version which will take longer
It should hopefully contain all the suggested tweaks mentioned and more
It will also not look as crowded

Oh yea, the image was a damaged ship, so i decided to repair it
I think it would look better to represent the species if it wasnt damaged lol
:p

I read that people would like the Borg to be in the Pic as well. I don't know if this will help, but the startup pic from a mod I downloaded might be useful.

Obviously, this pic is not my own work, but I like it.



It's from the Titans mod (Obviously) and I think it is by someone called Joker

I think everyone was saying they DIDN'T want the Borg on there!

That pic is fairly cool, good for a blast em up type game, just not very BOTF.

that pic would be cool as a wallpaper if it was not for the huge titan logo

The final
I have taken all suggestions into consideration and i hope its perfect



P.S. Gavin has notified me that this will be used as the splash screen

And man this has taken me a while
