New Romulan Warbird
« on: October 19, 2006, 06:36:18 pm »
A while back Atolm posted up some of his grand artistry using the application known as Paint.  As you may recall one of those designs was a TMP – TMP Romulan Warbird. Well, I couldn’t resist so I took a stab at modeling her.  Actually, I made some of the model and borrowed the hull section from Atolm's Mogai Hveikhenn.  Here is the final result…now all we need to come up with a name for this birdie.

I thank you all for your kind words but Atolm gets most of the credit...afterall I used his picture as the texture and used the hull from one of his models   Oh by the way, Atolm didn't have a name for this baby so I welcome your thoughts.  Here is what I have received thus far:

Feral Guardian
Stalker class
Death Bird of Bird of Death
Tal'shiar
Terix Class Warbird

Just send it to the guys at outlance or MP they will get it hosted.
People always said they wanted the government to listen to them and now the government is listening, taking notes and names...and coming to see you soon!

America-Not the land of the free anymore...
 Its the land of the freeloaders

Remember the axiom of big government bureaucrats: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. When, finally, under the crushing weight of taxes and regulation, it stops moving, subsidize it.

Based on the windows and such, when I did the HP/DP I scaled it to about 900-1000m

Thanks MP for taking care of this.  Still don't know why it wouldn't let me upload but what the heck.  Now it is hardpointed to boot.

Oh by the way, here a pic or two to remind everyone what the S’Faret Class Warbird looked like.

First, let me say that this is a beautiful piece of work.  A really excellent model of a really cool design.  WTG Pepperman.

Second,  am I really the only on that sees the design similarities between this ship and Raven's PKor??  I'm not sying Atolm copied the design or anything.  Atolm and Raven have weirdly similar design styles sometime and they have even taken opportunities to reimagine each others work.  So all I'm really saying is that whether it's an intentional reimagining of the PKor or not,  I can't help but think that the PKor was an influence on this design and I think it's strange that I'm the only one that noticed.

Anyway, back on topic, Nice work Pepperman. I'l be DL'ing this one immediately.

I can comment on this. This is obviously a completely unique design from Atolm. Though it may resemble the Pkor, I think that is more along the lines that, at least with this type of ship, our design ideas are similar. Atolm is far too talented to have to get inspiration from my designs....from what I am told he doesnt care for my designs at all.

There are only two examples I can think of when Atolm and I had input on a design....Atolm did a rework of the BaQ, which inspired the changes I made to the design in the end (I still have to finish the new model) and the Saif was inspired by a small concept he drew in a large group of conceptuals. I made sure to credit his small pic as it's inspiration.

I am always flattered by people that use my designs to inspire thier own. Some ask me (which is not necessary), some dont. Sometime's I get emails telling me someone copied one of my designs, and I shrug it off.....copying someone's work is the ultimate form of flattery. But in Atolm's case, I highly doubt, with his talent and imagination he has to resort to taking ideas from my concepts.

Just my two cents on the issue.
