No need, you don't seem to do any backgrounds, and quite a few things would have to be shown (plus there's sometimes important background events).

I just thought you'd like to see it. Besides, the blog would be rather story heavy, for example, the first thing that happens in the blog is the crew (minus Thornhunter, Ellen and Silkscale, who haven't joined yet) landing at a small city to where they first meet Deus (who has actually met Riktor before, but Rik doesn't know this), run into Thornhunter, and Ellen (who end up joining them, since Ellen needs a job and wants to go see various places and Thorn joins since they could use a foot soldier and he likes to fight). After this they run into Silkscale on the next planet over, who has activated a distress beacon (though the penguins don't show up).

...Yet.

I can draw the events that AREN'T background-important, since there's a FEW pictures I have where I drew backgrounds.

Also, a bad idea. It's gonna be hard making a story-heavy blog unless you get some time to add some breaks if an asker asks a random question or asks a character a little somethin that's not part of the story.
For example (and I will use my Ponex, Glitch, as an example):
Asker: "What's your favorite food?"
Glitch: ... Do I really need to say it...? *shows Cooked Alien Meat*

So..basically...even characters (mostly the good guys) in an ask blog need a break from whatever arc they were doing last. It makes sense and it keeps the blog interesting. I'm just givin ya a little advice here so as not to make the bolg so boring.

McDoomington In reply to PonyTatsujin [2014-05-16 16:34:15 +0000 UTC]

Of course there are breaks. The first one is rather short and in between the crew having arrived on the planet, being attacked by Deus and leaving with two new members. After that there's some more story and another new crew member. Basically, every time the crew visits a new planet there will be a break, with extra breaks inbetween if the story gets really heavy.

In general, it would be a story heavy ask blog, but it would still be an ask blog.

Nah thanks. I'm planning on making it right now (it's more something I might do in the near future).

Although I might ask you design some spaceships if you'd like, since Deus and Damas have unique ships. The Starbound crew on the other hand just have a default Apex ship, which will probably be upgraded throughout the story. Deus would have a larger ship since he has small squads of Apex (one to guard the ship, the other to help Deus). Deus is also smart enough to use non-Apex mercenaries for both extra numbers and sending them in first to not arouse suspicion as much, so I imagine they would have their own ships.

Damas on the other hand would have his ship be a much larger mobile base, since he's basically trying to conquer the galaxy.

Problem is: I can't design ships too well, unless you want a character to have a Ponex ship (which is the only ship type I'm familiar with). :l

McDoomington In reply to PonyTatsujin [2014-05-20 18:51:58 +0000 UTC]

Kay. how about flags? Or symbols?
If you'd like you can have a go designing Damas, but I'm not sure I'd recommend it. You'd have to design an ultra sleek cyborg Avali, which depends heavily on non-standard shape.

If you do, here's a good Avali pic to show you their general shape.
img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20…
That said, Damas is supposed to be pretty sleek, looking more like an armoured soldier or possibly a robot to regular Avali. So he might not be that hard to draw.

On a related note your drawings are amateurish, but with practice you could be good at it, what you really need practice on is detail, the characters heads seem to have little more than a general oval shape. After that lighting, which is very important for setting the tone of a scene.

PonyTatsujin In reply to McDoomington [2014-05-20 21:57:21 +0000 UTC]

Lighting is something that challenges me. So far...it's odd how I can draw creatures better than humans. :l

Like...just recently I've started drawing ponies and some bosses from Terraria. Oddly enough, I can draw Terraria bosses and ponies about 3x better than I draw humans. And you have a point on the o al sjape but...that's just my art style. I change it every now and again but...I'm getting better. I'm not a realistic kinda guy...if ya catch my drift. :l

McDoomington In reply to PonyTatsujin [2014-05-21 13:50:31 +0000 UTC]

I get what you're saying, but what I mean is making the faces to be more distinct and emphasizing personality rather than realism.

Take TF2's Sniper class for example. Compare that to the Heavy, and then the Medic. Both are distinct in a way that emphasizes their personalities. From the Heavy's "husky rusky" cockyness to the Sniper's "professional hunter" attitude, TF2's character designs are very distinct and suited to characters personalities.

You have a point. Scout is more "lean", mostly why the Engineer calls him "Stringbean" when he insults him. Engineer, speaking of which, looks like a hard-workin Texan. Cuz he's...well...from Texas, which....coincidentally, is the state I live in. :l

I'm gonna need some practuce drawing like that. It'll be hard but...I can do it. Hopefully...

McDoomington In reply to PonyTatsujin [2014-05-22 16:46:26 +0000 UTC]

Go for it. While it's not as important for the art to be realistic, or background characters to stand out, your main characters need to stand out from one another. There's an article here that goes into detail (mildly NSFW due to nude test):  dresdencodak.tumblr.com/post/3…

For example, Jet and Thornhunter are lean, and the fastest crew members. In addition, Thorn also looks much meaner than Jet. Riktor, on the other hand is chubby, spending most of his time not doing physical work (Riktor handles budgeting and piloting, making sure that the crew has enough spare parts and ammunition, but he goes with Jet and Thorn sometimes, usually if it's to trade or it involves fighting). Cobolt, Ellen and Silkscale on the other hand all have average body types, Cobolt because he's built like that, Ellen and Silkscale because they don't really need to be athletic like Jet and Thorn (who serve as team scout and foot soldier respectively).

I don't think you're good enough to draw on the blog, but I'll happily help you to learn. I do have some ideas of backgrounds to set the atmosphere of the start of Ask the Starbound Crew.

If you want to repay me (not that you need to), I could use an ask on my interactive Gmod blog to get the story going:  combineeclipse.tumblr.com
(if you've played Half-Life 2, it's basically ponies in that setting with the "player character" being a human rebel).

Nah, you know what sounds interesting?

A TV show based on Alpha Centauri, the lack of technobabble, the hard science, the brilliant quotes by faction leaders. And that's not even getting into the creepy moments, just look at the Self aware colony cutscene: www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwqN3U… or the Cloning Vats: www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGCaAC…

If I was to make something like that, I'd make one season for each major nation, with some screen time for other nation.

That said I've got some reading material I recommend to you...

I've also got plans for the first few "missions", made with only an objective and obstacles in mind, letting the readers have influence by making suggestions. Notably, unlike say, Moonstruck (one of my favorites), you could also give support to or ask questions of non-protagonist characters (the Combine for example might treat it as an order or suggestion from command). If I can find a way to justify it, it'll probably show up, although I might not bother if I'm in a silly mood and feel like having, say, Mecha-Breen. That said, sillier suggestions probably won't take the story anywhere.

Basically it'd be an ask blog with occasional story heavy moments for a change of pace, probably introducing something new to the Combine's arsenal each time.

Other than that, I've been reading a HL2 fic called Malign Contingency: www.valvetime.net/threads/mali…

Also, I have footage of the elusive Rarity in her natural habitat, if you listen closely, you can hear her mating call of fabulosity. Unfortunately, she turned out to be more interesting in the camera woman than the local stallions, who, despite the warnings of locals that everyone in Equestria is a lesbian serial killer nihilist rapist clone (and thus very angsty), and she should go into their houses where she will be safe: www.youtube.com/watch?v=lY3mID…
