B5:LR Wingart

Alec MAlec M Award Winning Poster
in Babylon 5
Ok everyone, I have to get going on the Firstones wingart idea. I've decided to go with a green Aardvark. I'm not sure if I'm going to put anything else, since it might make it hard to recognize. So...

can people please post whatever Aardvark pictures they have? Thanks!

    Wrong aardvark. [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/smile.gif[/img]

    I think Sam has quite a good green aardvark.

    No, it needs to be a simple aardvark. Anything else is too complex for a brief flash on a low resolution and blurry TV screen.

    I don't know about that one... that rocket exhaust is in an unfortunate place...

    kinda looks at first glance like a mutated PacMan chasing him, trying to get a pie pan off his butt.

    You don't need to go to a school of graphic design to know that something too complex will not be easy to see on a small blurry screen with motion blur. [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/smile.gif[/img]

    Shadow Boxer:

    That's funny! But how in the world did you come up with the connection of the Aardvark and the Mayan/Aztec pictograph style?

    hah hah!!!

    Cheers!

    I guess the Aardvark is an ancient astronaut eh?

  • shadow boxershadow boxer The Finger Painter & Master Ranter
    I guess its upto Slade huh fellas...

    thats alot of presumptions for one post there Biggles....et al.

    alot depends on what where and when in regards to the wingart...

    stationary in the cobra bays would mean it gets alot of hang time... or somewhere else as simple backdrop... who knows...
  • BigglesBiggles <font color=#AAFFAA>The Man Without a Face</font>
    Yeah, but the most likely is flying around at high speed during a battle. [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/smile.gif[/img]

    Any word on the Sierra logo on a spinning piece of wrekage?

    I think Randys is good actually.... just imagine in a dog fight, your flying along shooting at other Furies and this one flys past, with that wingart on it.... you'd piss yourself laughing.... by which time you would be dead... [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/biggrin.gif[/img]

  • samuelksamuelk The Unstoppable Mr. 'K'
    I'd have to agree with Biggles...

    Chances are good that this art would only be seen in an establishing CGI shot, where we might see a quick flyby of a couple of patrolling 'Furies.

    But at the same time, lots of wing art is very intricate (like Sheridan's Tiger, or the "Sea Witch" wingart seen a lot in B5).

    Still, if you want to be able to recognize it for the sake of FirstOnes, better to keep it simple JUST IN CASE.

    shadowboxer, you really need to calm down a bit. You should learn to take creative criticism a little more maturely.

    I, again, agree with Mr. K, and Stick with Biggles. You have to account for those factors to create maximum visibility without making it too obvious that it is the focus of the scene [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/smile.gif[/img]

    Hey Slade, did you manage to talk to JMS about this? Just curious on what his opinion was if you did.

    *IF* he spoke with him, JMS certainly didn't want him to tell us *THAT it's OK* to sneak something into the show.
