Hey TL!

I'm a new poster but long time lurker...

What should I start with... uh, well, I'm an avid SC2 fan, both play and watch quite a bit. But I also have many other things I do besides that aswell. One of those things is writing. While I'm no novelist or such and as English isn't my first language, I still do it. For fun mostly and to waste time when I'm not watching/playing StarCraft.

Now, this might be retarded and shot down just for being stupid. While I feel I can write and imagine how the story flows, create characters and the like, I lack visualization.

This is where I hope this post comes in handy. I'm essentially looking for someone who has some free time on their hands and are sketcher/graphical designers that could maybe help me get a picture of things are going to look in my story. I've already established quite a bit, a couple of races, tons of different space ship classes etc.
While this isn't detrimental to my writing, it would be nice to actually see some of my imaginations come to life through an artist. This is a scifi based story that I'm currently working on whenever I feel like the writing bug has bit me.

I hope I don't come off as "I NEED THIS NAO PLOX!" kinda person, because I'm not. I can't even draw a proper stick man, much less even try drawing some of the things in my story.

I'm hoping there's someone out here in TL.net that would at least like to try and work on something based off my ideas whenever they have free time. This is a long project that will take forever to complete and as such there's no deadline to meet but rather, as I said, a project that'll be finished when it's finished.

PM me or just reply to this blog post. (I hope this is in the right section, if not I hope a mod can move it.)

Wow, that's the total opposite of me haha. I've spent 8 years struggling just to get started writing. Visualizing everything is so easy. The actual story/plot/characters for the first novel have been completed in my head for quite a while now, but actual writing is impossible with my disabilities. At this rate I'll probably never reach completion before a heart attack gets a hold of me or worse. It's my life's work.

I don't take modeling requests for many reasons, one of which I'm just far too busy, but you can check out the models I made for my universe over here and perhaps they will help inspire you in some shape or form.

There's even some music I composed back in the old days, too.

Hey.

Thanks for at least replying. I went over your designs and a few of them actually come close to what I've imagined for the ships. It actually helped me a bit seeing as to what my ships could possibly look like. I won't steal your stuff of course, I just thought I'd reply and tell you that you've helped at least a little.

Now I just need to find someone who could do these for me... it's not all ships and weapons either, I've got a couple of different races that would need to be drawn aswell. I never had my hopes up when posting this anyway, was more like a shot in the dark.

Anyway, thanks Iskatu, through your art I kinda got a picture of where I want to go.
