Wicked Ortho site

Post by Antarian »

I'm sure many of you are aware of Deviant Art, he produces the BEST ortho ship plates on the Internet, beautiful for modding into games or as wallpaper too!

Just send him a quick email intro and permission to use and I'm sure he'd be fine with it, if we give him his due accolades and source notes.

You are not kidding; this is good stuff...
Please let us know if he gives permission.[8D]

Woah. That is a goldmine. There are a few ships there I've been looking for good shots of for ages and some that are way better than what I already have.

Peacekeeper Command Carrier! Plus a way better Event Horizon and Valley Forge than I had previously. Even a detailed Starbug 1! Lol.

This guy really knows his sci-fi.

Kudos on the find.

I have signed up and sent him some of the points. They are very cheap, $10 for 200. I have sent him a note asking for use of images.

Here is his official response:

"If you want to use anything I've created for NON-COMMERCIAL use (ie NOT FOR PROFIT) then I have no issues at all as long as you credit me the artist, the relevant modeler of the ship and (where appropriate) the creator of the background. It's not a lot to ask really.

Thanks for enjoying my work, thanks for supporting me, and thanks for just been a good bunch of people. To the dickheads out there, be warned - I didn't need to use any legal means this time but trust me, I will if necessary!"

For those Rommie fans in the crowd, I have sent him some points and asked him to do the Romulan Z-1 Battleship and the original TOS era Condor DN.
