Created the calendar, and I am still working on, partly out of boredom, partly because I am surprised NOTHING has appeared for this.

The series deserved all the support it can get.  And I really am not interested in income from this, so much as just having a calendar available on a topic I like.

Most of the Calendars I saw this year suck, or never made it to the USA.... I wanted to order the official on in Japan, only could not get through the order process.  It also was 2 months per image, little else...  A kinda missed opportunity.

SO I am really doing this out of getting word out on this remake series and its mind blowing great story.  And at the same time comment on the Calendar industry... That it sucks!!! (Sorry if I come off strong on that.)

Just a reminder, they created a tool to report these ads.

I also wonder if they also FILTER the worst out when you have this installed...

Either way, it will kill the offending ad.

Been insanely busy.
Also been working on a class of ship larger then the DreadCON.... Have the basics all laid out, just has to 'look right' as well as function in my head before I start rendering.

(But I suppose a teaser illustration will come, just as a bookmark so I remember all the details.... which there are many... and I have to come up with new name class to.)

Well I am planning on STARTING the 3/4 view of the DreadCON.
It is actually a simpler design then the BattleCON, but that does not mean I won't embellish it.

Plan on trying Photoshop first, then try googleSketch.... Spring I will redo many of my design in Lightwave, provided I can get my hands on a copy.

Happy others like the designs, then been sitting in my head since the early to late 70's.
Had not have the time to do them until now.  

Thanks, and in case I forget again Happy Holidays!

This spring I hope to finally own a 3D modeling program to render the ships I am doing.

Photoshop only goes so far, and its been a long time since I had a working copy of Lightwave or really anything.

Just finalized a render of the DreadCON, which I was agonizing over for a LONG time.

It went from being smaller version of the BattleCON to equal in size, like technically a DREAD is.  Dread in pre-WW2 era was a way to get the firepower of a battleship in the size of a cruiser, because Germany had international sanctions against them making 'X' number of battleships without approval.  It gave up crew room and other amenities to make room for armor, weapons, and really perform ONE function: Kill.

I decided in the end to make it bigger, as I had planned on a version LARGER then the BattleCON that would serve as a flag ship class of the ships.  Much like the Dreads of old there is less proportionally set asside to CREW needs, but then again most of the ship is automated, and has a unique type of crew.

Most of the ship is tied to its complex computer netnerve systems, full of dimensional nanites, and autmated robots that others at a momments notice can 'dive' into.  Also a good deal of the ship has a series of AI (Artificial Inteligence) that is actually copies of the minds of past crew.  They can project themselves as holograms that can solidify to manipulate objects, but most of the off hour times are in a version of digitally suspended holographic room that is only occuring internaly as a digital realm. This saves space, allows for a near infinite crew as needed, and in the event of death in combat a option to continue.  

These 'Avatars' are sometimes called 'EnergyCON's' Due to their nature of being on BattleCON's and DreadCON's'.  In some situations they have reconstituted their actualy physical body and returned to the living.  Altronians have found a unique way to create a sense of HEAVEN, but they will say there really might be a realm of reality beyond what they are doing, and what they are doing is purely man made.  And will openly state despite the insane level of technology, DO NOT worship them.  They find this annoying, wrong is so many ways, and will point out though they might be superior, they are NOT perfect.  (They might even point out their goofs... such as the acidental destruction of a blackhole because the captain acidently banged his head on the fire button... {unknown to them it was a system where Angi were, and needless to say Angi left the galaxy shortly after out of fear, for a time})

Eventually all these ship designs will lead to stories, and possibly a RPG.  Assuming RPG's will still be around by the time I complete this...
