that's no moon... [Asok]
i've recently been working on a random system generator for the star wars d6 role-playing game, and i think it could use some artwork. i already have icons for stars and planets, and planetary terrain maps generated by my own code. but the generator also allows for "artificial" locations. ideally, i'd have four pieces of art,
a space station, in orbit above a planet.
a space station, constructed on or within an asteroid.
a domed city, built on the surface of an otherwise alien and inhospitable planet.
a floating city (such as bespin), in the clouds of a gas giant.
each piece would need to be 800px wide by 400px high. not all need to be done by the same artist, of course. each piece should include an artist's credit in the work, and i'd be happy to link to the artist's profile on SWAG as well. my humble thanks for your consideration.

I'd like to take all four. I've been trying to branch out; I think this will be good for me!
Edit: I was checking out your site - and it's awesome! I bookmarked it - anyways, I was wondering if you wanted I could also draw icons for the other types of things, that way your icons would be a matching set. If you like. If not, no prob.

i'm honored. thank you!
and if you're willing, i'd certainly be happy to have matching icons. the stars are fairly mundane, and in specific colors, so i don't know whether you need to reproduce them. otherwise, i have 'rock planet', 'earth-like planet', 'asteroid belt', 'gas giant', 'gas giant with rings', 'ice planet', 'cold gas giant'. the icons are all 100px by 100px.

Years ago I built a planet generator based on the old d6 planets guide tables (mine was in VisualBasic / Access).
This is SO MUCH COOLER.
Well done!

This is going to be so cool!
Sorry, I thought you said earlier the pieces should be 800x400 pixels... should they be 100x100 instead?

sorry for the confusion... there are currently two graphical elements on the page.
the first is the system chart, which lists the planets in the system. this uses 100 x 100 px icons of the star and various types of planets.
the second is the planetary terrain map, at the bottom of the page. this is nice for actual terrestrial planets, but rather pointless for a space station, and so that's where i'd like to have the 800 x 400 px artwork instead.
hopefully that makes sense.

Outstanding website, drow. I've also bookmarked it. One of the PC names your site gave me for a Cthulhu campaign was "Wendell Vaughn".
Cthulhu Quasar FTW!
