Ahh I get it. I'm not too sure what constitutes 'blank' space though, IE actually how to make certain parts read as transparent and not just simply black (as the backgrounds in the tga are) but I'll tinker and see.

Transparency with what? As in shine on the control panel? I always thought star wars was sort of anti-slick and shiny. I think I may be misinterpreting transparency though.

Guess I may as well make a thread about the 2d art. Working on the interface now, trying to make it sort of 'put-together' like a lot of the tech in the galactic civil war era looked like. Here's a screen of the lower-main interface. Still work in progress, there's some polishing to do around the edge of the whole thing, let me know if there's anything that can be improved, if it looks 'star warsy' enough etc. I'll try to make everything along the same theme; http://img360.imageshack.us/img360/5821/screenshot2cn2.jpg

Guess I should join in. I'm Rhineville, a member of conceptart.org and graphic design graduate.... as of yesterday I'm also pretty strong in illustration. My only 'modding' experience was actually a pretty decent (if you ask me) retexture of some armour in Morrowind. Aside from that I'm not exactly tech savvy, but hopefully I can contribute a bit. I was lurking in the soase forums, patiently awaiting news on this mod. As far as I know I'm doing icons and interface stuff. Not too sure how to submit things, but I think I might start a thread for progress shots so people can give input. Anyways, see you around.

Right now I'm in the progress of formatting my new pc, transferring files to it and getting some essential programs going. The next month for me is going to be a mix of getting mine and my partner's design website up/getting business cards for the company, doing the odd freelance work, and relaxing. Since right now I don't have any real day job working on 2d work for this doesn't seem like much of a stretch. Just let me know what needs to be done.

Sure thing. As far as I'm concerned if people aren't making profit on work I've done they can definitely use it.

Hey EvilleJedi, just posting here to check in. Like I said I'm up for doing any 2d work you might need. Starting this weekend I could start with interface, icons, whatever needs doing basically. I may need a little heads up on files, how to edit them etc but other than that I think I'll be alright. Any material/reference/design examples you could give me would be helpful (though I do have the essential guide to vehicles and vessels, so anything that falls into that book I'm good for) I'm also up for illustration if you absolutely need it. I was actually doing race portraits for a galciv 2 mod (seen here and here) but school hit, plus doing 8+ fully rendered portraits is a bit repetetive so I had to bail out. If you need it, I can do it, but depending on the size/# it might drag along. Anyways, point out a direction
