Visions of Star Frontiers Art

This time last year I was on the level of drawing that was a little bit above stick figures and stymied that I could not beg borrow or steal enough art for my needs in fan magazine publishing. Over 2012 I threw myself into drawing and ressurrected 25 year old skills that had been lost hopefully 2013 will be a year of even better improvement.

This discussion is not just for me as there is a handful of artist in the community producing stuff- Malcadon has a very nice gallery of sketchs (admittedly geared toward gama world) at deviantart.com , AZ_gamer is the resident cgi artist here producing so much in that mediu, and others.

I thought that it would be nice to talk about what we'd like to see come out in 2013 of Star Frontiers art or Star Frontiers-ish art.

1.) I recently saw a post (I dont think it was on this site) criticizing the fact that a lot of sci-fi art these days shows people in tactical gear carrying modern looking assault rifles. I'm not surprised that this would be a trend as a drawing reference helps and its not hard to find these subjects to work from. How does the community feel about this? Do we prefer stuff with a more golden age of sci fi look or is it ok if it has a more Gritty modernist look?

2.) In another thread someone asked a question that caused an image to pop into my head and I had to draw it.
 
This one is equal parts sexy, creepy, and disturbing IMO and I drew it! So how do we feel about art with a sexy subject? Yay, Nay or dont care?
I suppose this question should be actually be separated into three questions- Sexy, creepy and disturbing should all be answered separately.

3. New avatar pics? would we like new avatar pics for this site? I suppose most of us have settled on an avatar pic and are not likely to change it  so this is about new members, of which a large portion dont bother with getting an avatar (though many that actually post do). Would a host of new pictures of the core four be a good thing to add to the available avatars?

4. This question is separate from #3; character portraits? would a library of character portraits be a valued addition to game play? To be able to add a character portrait to your character sheet?

Pose a question if you think of one.
I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers!

I'm going to stay with the four breats as canon for yazirians if for no other reason than there is still a part of me that is 13 years old and loves the idea of four breast even if I only have two hands.

:p

D'oh! The space suit counter, I didn't recognize it without the colored background.

I had my female yazirians have 4 breasts too, and I will keep it that way as it aliens them up more. I did a drawing of one, I have no idea if I still have it.

If you search for yazirians on photobucket you should turn up a few with four breast, male and female that I drew over a year ago.
