Mad78 Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 I just wanted to know what you sought. Since I couldn't make a gradient I tried something else. What do you think.For the Azzameen:http://groups.msn.com/_Secure/0aQCMA2YirGNgQdMp*mqSRhZetM8PjBI9l6y!Hv2NjdBhoAXj9q6R26!U10bY56rCwm2sh5QHYQF04ebJ2xMArJcwKBKooXG!juGm5FeIgatyM9URngzSOj0zeXA2OBzEQ0aBhK6LfWuakG9YkALtdL9ZS2Vk!JJ0/Azzameen%20character%20background.jpgAnd for the Viraxo:http://groups.msn.com/_Secure/0ZwCMA6QhxxRqL3K6uDMvGt6gcxe92p*4Tup6HhSUys4MIeW1s7H*pJeFvvdcWi!qrKXYWJAsu52*wkrpl4NVkdxnC47tH6KxaQGK9VHY46N8qgWADcTZ0csE57KqloHuaQmDQYdpJgJwhbroElCmQg/Viraxo%20character%20background.jpgSo better or worse? http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Palpycard.gifhttp://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Spamkinguserbarcopy.jpgCLICK HERE IT IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!Click here is you like Trance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand_Admiral_Thrawn Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 Better, but I've never been a fan of images for backgrounds for chars. I like the idea of the emblems though. Maybe you could do something with them? History is on the move, Captain. Those who cannot keep up with it will be left behind, to watch from a distance. And those who stand in our way will not watch at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad78 Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 Any ideas? http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Palpycard.gifhttp://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Spamkinguserbarcopy.jpgCLICK HERE IT IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!Click here is you like Trance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand_Admiral_Thrawn Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 Try a sort of embossed image of the emblem on the background, sort of like the original Reb/Imp ones, but make it look nicer.

Mad78 Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 And how do you do that? http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Palpycard.gifhttp://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Spamkinguserbarcopy.jpgCLICK HERE IT IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!Click here is you like Trance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand_Admiral_Thrawn Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 Place your Azameen and Viraxo emblems on the background, but they need to be larger than they are now. Once you get a color scheem that looks good in 256 colours, use some of the effects in PSP until you find one you like. Start with the 3D effects and work from there. If you can't find anything to your liking, the ones above are great, I just prefer something not an image. History is on the move, Captain.

smellymummy Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 the puppets are much more interesting to look at than the CG stuff. I'm not able to think of many movies where the CG actually looked real. I'd say the first one to come to mind would be the first jurassic park, and maybe that's because of the color tones and just how large the dinos are. seriously, the dinosaurs of jurassic park beat the aliens of ep 1 and 2 the flying yoda wasn't so bad though.. kind of like a green blur after a few beers  btw, what is that space picture supposed to represent (the one following 'for the azzameen')? it's from ESB right?

Mad78 Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 You can find more info in the family affair thread (in forum 24) but in short:I am working on a TC based on the game x-wing alliance and I do not know what to use as background for the characters (since the two camps are nether the rebellion or the empire). So I am experimenting. http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Palpycard.gifhttp://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Spamkinguserbarcopy.jpgCLICK HERE IT IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!Click here is you like Trance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smellymummy Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 so you don't know if its supposed to be the galaxy at large, the inner core, a star, a nebula, another galaxy neighboring the one far far away, or ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad78 Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 Well I used a galaxy because I really couldn't think of anything else (gradient, ship, ...) http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Palpycard.gifhttp://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Spamkinguserbarcopy.jpgCLICK HERE IT IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!Click here is you like Trance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grand_Admiral_Thrawn Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 Just to get back on topic slightly here, I think you should all refer to the poem Dha Werda Verda. It covers the original inhabitants of Coruscant, as well as their eventual demise. History is on the move, Captain. Those who cannot keep up with it will be left behind, to watch from a distance.

Mad78 Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 And how does this poem go? http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Palpycard.gifhttp://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Spamkinguserbarcopy.jpgCLICK HERE IT IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!Click here is you like Trance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow_of_Thrawn Posted July 20, 2004 Author Share Posted July 20, 2004 I don't think i've ever read the poem, but i seem to remember that coruscant was originally home to two sentient species, who eventually wiped themselves out in a great war. i don't recall coruscant ever being referred to as the homeworld of humans.

Grand_Admiral_Thrawn Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 There isn't any realy poem, but it is referred to in the books. It tells of the conquest of Coruscant's indiginous people, the Battalions of Zhell, by an alien rance called the Taungs. There was a war between the two people, and the Zhell were winning until a volcanic eruption rained ash upon the city of Zhell. The plume of ash hung over the city for two years, casting shadow across the land. The Zhell believed that it was the doing ot the Taungs and gave them a new name: Dha Werda Verda, The Warriors of Shadow, or sometimes translated into Dark Warriors. The Taung saw the shadow as a sighn of their destiny and adopted the Dark Shadow Warrior identity for thier other conquests. History is on the move, Captain.
