Orthanc's Creation Thread

[Spacer One]

Request for Shipmaster Orthanc:
The Dawn treader...Im not gonna get pics and such yet cause I know Im far down the list if at all...but its the PseudoViking ship for the CoN(Narnia)

 

[Orthanc]

Alright, as I said it'll take a while to get there, but I'll put it up on the list Spacer One. Get those pictures whenever you can though, so I can start planning ahead a little.

Anyways, big jump from the last update on the Rolf Krake, I've just got some ropes, rigging, flags and sails to add, then this thing can get animated. I moved the foremost life boats forward significantly from where they should be, since on the actual ship they're right beside the aft turret. In real life, this works because the turrets never really fired directly to the right or left, but in Civ they have to, thus the change.

wow. that looks great!

Dawn Treader pics

 

[Goldflash]

Holy Crap guys, quit bombarding Orthanc with requests.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Agreed...

 

[Spacer One]

I would hope that by the way I requested the Dawn Treader, it was apparant that it was a "when you get around to it, if you want" kinda request...my opinion is: I need a ship done, why not ask the best...if he cant do it(or doesnt want to) cool, but why not ask?...

After the whole Ha'Tak/Al'kesh thing...I assume any of the requests made(By anyone) may get swept under the rug...But it never hurts to ask, maybe someone was already thinking of doing it...

@Orthanc...sorry if my request was already on a huge pile...I didnt realize requests had started flooding in...

 

[Orthanc]

Don't get too worked up about it, as long as your willing to wait for me to get to it I'll do your request.

It'll take potentially over a month before I can get to any new requests at this point, and I don't want to be booked until like, May , which is why I suggest any new requests look elsewhere. The shipyard is very busy.

It might just be my crackhead internet , but those first 2 links don't work Spacer One.

 

[Spacer One]

Well, Im about to go on vacation for 2 weeks in "sunny Florida" so waiting isnt an issue(Like I said, I'll be happy if its even concidered)...On top of that, the MOD its for, wont be done for much longer than that, so push it down the "list" as often as you like...

P.S. Wish me luck on my "vacation" to FL...

 

[Stormrage]

Spacer, you make it sound like you are visiting the inlaws

 

[Spacer One]

worse...the exwife(My first son)

 

[Stormrage]

Ay carumba! The infamous "ex" issue! Oh, well, atleast you get to see your kid, hope you guys have some fun.

P.S.: Or was your first son your first wife?

 

[Spacer One]

First (ex)wife--> First Son
Girl Friend(Current)--> second son

 

[Stormrage]

You know, I`m thinking of going back to boyfriend-girlfriend with mrs.Stormrage, it was more fun that way

 

[Orthanc]

Nice job going WAY off topic there people.

My Rolf Krake's done (but don't get discouraged Bjornlo!), and can be found here.

Next!

 

[LMR]

what is next, may i ask?

 

[Bjornlo]

Nice job going WAY off topic there people.

My Rolf Krake's done (but don't get discouraged Bjornlo!), and can be found here.

Next!

I'm not discouraged. I was certain your's would be done first. You've made many ships. This will be my first. So many of the issues you worked out long ago, I'm fiddling with now. Besides, I am enjoying making it.
The reason mine is not done is that I just have had very little time. My boss has worked us all like elves gearing up for christmas. Predictably we are all now sick. Computer work can be just as exhausting as fishing or farming. So while I am not working on it (or other units) until I get over the flu. I will make it. It will be my next unit... eventually.

-- edit --
besides, everyone loves variety. And your decking texture has me re-thinking mine. I like your lighter one more, and may go back and re-render a few of my animations to include something similar.

 

[Goldflash]

Next should be the Barbary Corsair Galley

 

[Orthanc]

Sorry for dropping off the planet for a bit there, the reason I did should be pretty obvious. Anywho, I'm back in the shipyard working on that Barbary Corsair Galley for you Goldflash, I'll have some previews soon.

The Rolf Krake looks great! When you finish your line of ships, would you be interested in doing a Star Wars unit?
