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.

Hehe! The Intergalactic Spam Assassin.....assassinated....by spam.(of sorts)

heehee!

I really like it, it's totally unpretentious good fun.

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.

Wow, you made that very fast!

And nice one, too!

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.

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.
