Buck Godot: Zap Gun for Hire

[Disembodied]

A webcomic I think we can all enjoy:

Nice drawing on that web comic, it looks like the 2000AD Halo Jones artist!

There's a chap over on the yakyak forums that is doing a series of short comics about computers games, here's his Elite one http://funnywebcomic.com/?p=2327

Hee hee hee!

The Buck Godot artist is Phil Foglio, probably better known now for the steampunk/"gaslamp" Girl Genius webcomics.

Based on this: http://www.airshipentertainment.com/buc ... e=20070123

I designed this:



back view:



I thought it would be a five minute job, but it turns out that when you draw something you don't have to worry about it *actually* fitting together, which oddly enough, you do in a 3D model.

I've no plans to do anything with it - but if anybody would to play (it needs scaling at the very least) - I've got the original AC3D model and .obj (triangulated and not triangulated) along with the rather basic, if not completely terrible 512x512 texture.

I reckon (given the 20,000 gallons of supercooled juice (US gallons?)) the Spongetta probably has a cargo capacity of about 100-150 Tonnes (what that is in TCs is of course completely arbitrary!)

Very nice DH, looks just like the one in the comic.

[Rxke]

Wow, you made that very fast!

And nice one, too!

[Disembodied]

Hey, DH, that's pretty snazzy! I could see something like that being used as an in-system hauler, or as a rival to the Python.

[DaddyHoggy]

Well thank-you very much guys - I'm surprised it's acquired such praise! (I can see about ten things wrong with it - but they're basically because it's impossible to actually get the geometry as it's drawn!)

As I said, I'm not an OXPer, if somebody wants to play - please do.

And Disembodied - I agree - Python-ish in capacity - but it's square profile means it fits neatly into a docking port...

Actually, I think he got his professional debut with What's New with Phil and Dixie, which first appeared in Dragon Magazine. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Foglio

You're right, that's where he started (although I first encountered his work in the manuals for Spiderweb Software's Avernum games). But Girl Genius is his (and his wife's) biggest hit: it won the Hugo for Best Graphic Story in 2009 and 2010.
