This time last year I was on the level of drawing that was a little bit
above stick figures and stymied that I could not beg borrow or steal
enough art for my needs in fan magazine publishing. Over 2012 I threw
myself into drawing and ressurrected 25 year old skills that had been
lost hopefully 2013 will be a year of even better improvement.<br /><br />This discussion is not just for me as there is a handful of artist in the community producing stuff- Malcadon has a very nice gallery of sketchs (admittedly geared toward gama world) at deviantart.com , AZ_gamer is the resident cgi artist here producing so much in that mediu, and others.<br /><br />I thought that it would be nice to talk about what we'd like to see come out in 2013 of Star Frontiers art or Star Frontiers-ish art.<br /><br /><b><font size="4">1.)</font></b> I recently saw a post (I dont think it was on this site) criticizing the fact that a lot of sci-fi art these days shows people in tactical gear carrying modern looking assault rifles. I'm not surprised that this would be a trend as a drawing reference helps and its not hard to find these subjects to work from. How does the community feel about this? Do we prefer stuff with a more golden age of sci fi look or is it ok if it has a more Gritty modernist look?<br /><br />2.) In another thread someone asked a question that caused an image to pop into my head and I had to draw it.<br /> <img src="/files/u4436/Embrace_of_the_Sathar002.png" height="173" width="137" /><br />This one is equal parts sexy, creepy, and disturbing IMO and I drew it! So how do we feel about art with a sexy subject? Yay, Nay or dont care?<br />I suppose this question should be actually be separated into three questions- Sexy, creepy and disturbing should all be answered separately. <br /><br />3. New avatar pics? would we like new avatar pics for this site? I suppose most of us have settled on an avatar pic and are not likely to change it so this is about new members, of which a large portion dont bother with getting an avatar (though many that actually post do). Would a host of new pictures of the core four be a good thing to add to the available avatars?<br /><br />4. This question is separate from #3; character portraits? would a library of character portraits be a valued addition to game play? To be able to add a character portrait to your character sheet?<br /><br />Pose a question if you think of one.
