One thing that I would like an artist to begin is the frontspiece for the Anargo Sector Project website, the thing that everyone sees when they type in "http://www.anargo-sector-project.com" or whatever the URL ends up being in the long-run. I have no real ideas at the moment but thought that it would be interesting to throw some ideas around and, perhaps, have an artist (if they show up here! ) begin to work on it at their leisure...

Hey Kage, as you can imagine, I'll gladly do this (I just bought some A2 paper today and I'm looking forward to using it ;D) any ideas people have(artist or not) would be welcome of course... By the way, you mentioned something about me moderating the art forum, what exactly would this entail?

With regards to Mod status, you should have already been doing it... Grrr. Will sort that out. Basically it just gives you the power to chop and change things on this forum. It's not much, to be honest, given the low-use of the board. However, there is one particular responsibility: You have to draw the artists from Portent over to here at least with reference to the Anargo Sector... As to ideas for the frontspiece, not at the moment... Will dwell upon it tonight. Kage

Perhaps we should have a crest of some sort with the capitol system of the Anargo Sector behind it? Or is that too plain.

First off, welcome Boondock Saint! It is good to see the gradual migration of artists back to the project, especially after a change of forum right during the Christmas vacation (or commercial vacation depending upon your level of cynicism). Do not hesitate to create new threads based upon your own concepts so as to separate them from the any 'main' discussion. Let your work shine forth and not be present in the single largest thread in the Stories and Art forum of Portent! Also, if you have any suggestions do not hesitate to make them. I and others are always willing to listen. You might also find it useful to read some of the 'fluff' threads to see what is going on. Indeed, remember that your own artwork can act as inspiration to the 'fluff' creators. Thus we have 'artwork requests' in this forum, but there is no reason that you cannot put in 'fluff' requests to those forums! That is actually a wonderful idea. A stylised version of the Imperial Eagle would seem a pretty obvious thing to go with, but his crest as a 'backdrop' would also allude to some of the depth that we hope to get into with the ASP. In fact this would be especially the case if the crest were somehow related to the historical origins of the Anargo sector which, I believe, at the moment harks to the Ultramarines and the Great Crusade. IIRC there was even mention of the presence of the Emperor... (Perhaps this was one of the last systems in this direction of the Great Crusade before the Emperor handed over the commnd of the Crusade to the Primarchs and himself returned to Terra...) Kage

I found the way in. I WIN.
I could throw my computer editing ‘skills’ at the final product and see what comes out.

Again, welcome McHaggis... now that you're here I feel another thread coming on. Incidentally, do you have any concepts with regards to ASP 'front piece' art? Kage

You could just have a selection of artwork at various stages of completion as the front page to represent that the sector is being constantly worked on. For instance some rough sketches on the outside through to ink work, paintings and computer graphics, I’ll try and find some stuff on the old artworks sketch to show you what I mean. Something like this. Only with more pieces in it. www.portent.net/gallery/photos/2063

I'm really not crazy about re-using images, in that case I would rather make a new image with different elements of the Anargo Sector (a citiy, some Imperial Guard etc.)

How about a crest or shield or something, possibly on a nebulous starfield?
Have we thought about coats of arms or sigils or whatever for the various worlds, organisations, etc?

As I've said before, this looks real good. It is said that orange and red never match, but this actually works. Perhaps use those colours on the Anargo crest, or use the colours of the Anargo crest on the website?

This is a concept I did a while ago, posted on the old Portent thread: I liked the idea, but I guess start page should be little wider, star sky as back with slowly flashing skeleton of constellations and “Anargo Sector” blurb. And edges made in metallic, maybe worn a little bit.

That's actually intriguing since it lends itself to an animated intro, which woud be kind of interesting. Any concepts on what this could be? Kage
