Cheers, Doc -- glad you like them! I'm still not sure what the bird advert is for... egg insurance, possibly.

It's been pretty hectic in bad old Real Life(TM) of late but hopefully I can get some more ads done soon. I also hit a creative block -- but then realised that the mini ads you used to get in the back of comics were a good source for inspiration: can anyone can think up a good parody of Sea Monkeys (Space Monkeys?)?

I plan on scripting the ability to purchase war bonds at Sector Command Stations for the final release of my OXP. So a couple advertisements for them might be fitting if anyone was so graphically inclined. Something like "Support the War Effort! Buy Galactic Navy Victory Bonds Today!" I love reading the old propaganda/recruitment/war bond posters from the first two world wars. Some of the best ads ever made. They rank right behind the Budweiser frogs

Quick response too!

Love the ads, especially the "space monkey"! Excellent work!

Cheers, guys -- although to be honest I wasn't very satisfied with the "Invest in Victory" one. It's a bit drab, and a friend pointed out to me that it looks a bit like the ship is sinking by the nose... so I did a second version:

I liked the font from the "Keep Us Flying" ad -- Berthold City -- as it has a good propaganda-ish feel to it. And since both ads are for the same thing it made sense to have a corporate image to them (and to call the bonds the same thing in both ads!).

Am I taking this too seriously? Do I have too much time on my hands? Answers on a postcard please...

Wow, much better!

Just keep the good work coming, Disembodied.

@others: Don't let his work scare you - this OXP has room for work of varying quality

You can still have 18 of Your Ads featured in the unfinished yet fully functional Set E

Love the revision Disembodied!!

I could have worked for a week on that ad and still not have come anywhere close to your final product. Your work actually looks better than what I envisioned in my head. Thanks for taking on the project
