Disco Banner - Vic - 12-22-2008
Still working on the sun-rise.

A lot more too add though, as for adding ships etc I will be adding an asteroid belt. If someone wants to get me some stock renders (no bg I'm not cutting **** out) of a few daggers at different angles, I'll shrink them down and add them to the field. I might add some battle stuff as well, between the daggers and something else?
Give me some stock to work with and I might add it in, again it needs to be an already cut out .png file.*

Hmm, well since you said something of Daggers and a battle, what about a Outcast/Corsair fight? Sabres/Titans or Daggers/Centurion(at least i think that's what the Corsair LF is called)

Whatever works I suppose, Boss is already sending me a pack of renders. I'll let you guys know if I still need more. I'm going to shrink them a lot and make them part of the detail work. So most people unless they look might not notice it, we shall see.
I'm putting too much into such a small space, but it's going to be overly epic. I'm going to hate adding text to this...*

The renders pack is mostly Outcast ships, unfortunately. I don't have any 'Sair ships....Since I kill them whenever I can >.>
Disco Banner - Vic - 12-22-2008
I need some more angles of the dagger, backside angled etc. Like it's flying through a field or something...*

i know a site with real space pics, here.
And/or click at "Freelancer or real Space" in my Sig. If u need nice background pics for creating banners. Not sure about the Copyrights.
Merry Christmas

The first one was taken from NASA, the second one I'm drawing all by hand. I don't like the grainy look of the real photo's, I much prefer making something that makes people think it's real.
The only stock I'm now going to use (I personally HATE using stock) is some fighters and I will add some laser beams coming off them to have a small battle scene lost in the image itself.
Side-note, this sun rise is a frelling pain in my ass.*

Just getting a feel for where/what the text is going to be and look like.
* Added an Asteroid field if the foreground
* Added 2 moons
* Fixed up the sunrise but it still looks like poop, will require more work.

Imho, sunrise needs a single shaft of light stabbing somewhere in the foreground. Maybe have a single fighter flying along it?
(plus massive battle somewhere?)
Disco Banner - Dopamino - 12-23-2008
Needs lens flare. Also, I'm not diggin' that font too much. Too fat and round.

I don't have enough ship renders to make a battle scene with, but I do have a good planet to "burn" with a battle. I can take ships and place them over the planet and have them "fire lasers" at it. Though I'm sure I really don't need ships to do that, since I'm working with such a small scale I can get away with the same dots and some laser fire. I'll see what I can do in that respect.
I fixed the sunrise, I'm happy with it now.
I adjusted the asteroid field I'm also pleased with those results.
I have changed the colours of space itself to reflect space of the real universe.
I will now work on a small battle over another planet.
I might cut it shorter since I find that it's too tall.
I'll post the next update after that.*
