Some GALACTICA stuff

[Kmpr´rak]

As I asked here to publish some other stuff except Star Trek and LCARS, here some things from one of my book projects, a Colonial Almanac for Battlestar Galactica. Some of you may know of this stuff.

[Kmpr´rak]

Something from a story I am developing. Plus a little presentation.

[Robert]

Looking beautiful there Kmpr´rak,

was never a big fan of galactica until I finaly sat down and watched all four seasons.

Thanks for posting.

[Kmpr´rak]

Thank you. Here is the final version of a trailer I worked on.

It is a zipped file, and you need the fonts OCR A Extended and Battlestar to view it in perfect form.

[Kmpr´rak]

The Colonial Solar System of the Three Suns, the home system like I think it looked like.
It is part of my Colonial Almanac. :)

[Kmpr´rak]

Some ideas about Pythia and her book.

The second is a new paper format.

[Kmpr´rak]

An idea about markings on the Battlestars.

[deif]

my klingon friend
you seem to be very busy with your galactica stuff. great to see and thnx to share it with us. keep this brilliant stuff up!

[Kmpr´rak]

Thank you. Well, I have a lot of ideas and sometimes the things you see are projects made within an hour or so. I don´t know if you saw that guy at okudagrams who´s also "designed" a Colonial system. Well, nice work, but I stick with mine, although it is "only" LunarCell!

[Adge]

This is excellent work indeed, thanks for sharing your artwork. 8) 8)

[j.anderson]

Kmpr´rak, for what it's worth, I like your works better than those of the guy on okudagrams.

You're doing amazing things in a simple and straight forward way, with (what I believe) are limited resources.

You just keep on developping your style my friend, that's what it's all about.

[Kmpr´rak]

Thank you very much, guys. :)

And here some more stuff from my book. I played around with some statistics and diagrams. Not the final version, but I think on the way to!

[Kmpr´rak]

Here some material nearer to the final version. :)

[Robert]

Great stuff there Kmpr´rak

Thanks for posting.

[Kmpr´rak]

Thank you. Here some more news! :)

[deif]

Wow! Your galactica stuff looks even better then you star trek planetary guide. me likes.

[Kmpr´rak]

Thank you very much. I think you know what you´re talking about!

Well, it is a totally new kind of work for me, and it costs also more time. And I think sometimes we all have not too much of it! :)

Here an idea about a Colonial School System.

[Kmpr´rak]

Ideas about different icons I will use.

The second is the "weather" thing I have fixed now. The tables fit now into the Colonial calendar I have developed. :)

[Kmpr´rak]

Last new pages so far. :)

[mtblillie]

Nice a lot of detailed ideas I like that!

[Kmpr´rak]

Yes, and a lot of work! ;D

[Kmpr´rak]

Another idea for car plates.

[Kmpr´rak]

And some new stuff. :)

[deif]

you look very busy with an overflowing creativity, my klingon friend!

[Kmpr´rak]

Well, seems so. But it is a large project, and it is fun to solve some riddles about a society died out
148,000 years ago! ;D

[Kmpr´rak]

Anyone noticed the thing on okudagrams.com? About the BSG stuff? I think it will be another senseless discussion about nothing. Well, funny! I can only laugh about such things. Only looking in one direction also Sci-Fi is so much more! :)

[Robert]

I have notice it,
I personally have no problem with BSG or any art-work in general. This is not my forum, this is yours. And you guys shape it to the look you want it to be. With the topics and art you want to post. I'll I do is administrate and manage it.

What I could do is add a section (or a specific forum) for Battlestar Galactica Graphics, if I feel this is what you guys want.

I'll talk more about it in a later post.

[Kmpr´rak]

^ Why not? Would be a nice idea.

Here some new stuff, attempts for a traffic shield and an Aquarion Phone Book. ;)

[Robert]

Great work there Kmpr´rak,
Really like those "traffic shields" Feels familiar yet alien! Have you tried them with the corners cut-out? Might be interesting to look.
Good job.

[Kmpr´rak]

I think it is more road sign or traffic sign than shield! ;D My English ......

Yep, that is the next step, cut corners! Will post it here! :) Thank you for your comment! :)

[deif]

you should start to work for a road-sign factory...LOL!

[Kmpr´rak]

HA, yep, if there´s one who will give me a good job!

Here two cut versions!

[Kmpr´rak]

And new material from my book. :)

[deif]

the traffic signs with cutted corners looks much better. kepp the good work up!

[Adge]

Kmpr´rak,

I have to agree this work is of good quality, and is enjoyable to view. Thanks for sharing. 8)

[Kmpr´rak]

Thank you guys, really nice.

Here some new things. :)

[Kmpr´rak]

New ideas about car plates. Made after the one Kara Thrace had on her "Hummer", well, the fonts surely are not correct, but I think they look nice! :)

[deif]

man, you go to surpass yourself. you've an incredible output of graphics this days....?? outstanding!
like this plates, they look great.

[Robert]

Great work there
I'm loving those license plate.
Thanks for posting!

[Kmpr´rak]

Thank you. Well, they are not as difficult as I thought also at first.

Here some more!

[Kmpr´rak]

And a pic of the printed ones! :)

[Kmpr´rak]

A last one so far, from another district of Caprica. :)

[Kmpr´rak]

And here an attempt from my newest project, tactical maps and something like this.

[Kmpr´rak]

A Picon car plate and a new map attempt. :)

[Kmpr´rak]

A sketch for "my" Battlestar from my "Corona Project". ONLY a sketch!

[Adge]

Kmpr´rak,

The more you do, the slicker the graphics become. Good work my friend.

[Kmpr´rak]

Thank you very much! Nice to hear it from you! :D

[Kmpr´rak]

Hi folks.

If you want to have your own BSG RDM car plate, tell me, I will do one for you, if you´re interested.
I have two different measures and the colors are also different for every colony.

Details later, I only wanted to ask at first if there some who are interested in. If, tell me. :D

[Kmpr´rak]

And here it goes. Part I, the different layouts for front and back plate. :)

[Kmpr´rak]

And here the different plate designs for each colony. The last pic is the info about the whole thing! :)

[Kmpr´rak]

;D explanation

[Kmpr´rak]

And before I forget it... finally finished, my phone book pages. ;)

[Kmpr´rak]

Dossier, Lieutenant Colonel Jack Fisk.

[deif]

brilliant stuff, my klingon friend. look forward to see your ideas will become fleshed more and more....!

[Kmpr´rak]

Thank you! ;D I am moving to a new home in app. 2 weeks, then my time will be even smaller for my projects. :( But I will return! :D

[deif]

oh :o
so i wish all the best for your move. take care to your computer and harddisks and so on...lol! and most of all: take care of your back! don't try to carry too heavy burdens!

your friend deif

[Kmpr´rak]

;D Indeed! I will care! ;D

I think I am online until December 3rd or 4th!

[Kmpr´rak]

Ideas about "Attorney Files" and "Army Files". More soon! :D

[Robert]

I'm loving those files. They look great Kmpr´rak.

[deif]

i second explorer. are you now more klingon or galactican - ;D ;D

[Adge]

Kmpr´rak,

I wish all the best for your move as well, as it will take up a good part of your time, especially this festive season approaching quickly.

See you soon as I do enjoy seeing your work. Make sure you have backed up your work! ;D

[Kmpr´rak]

I did, my friend, I did! ;D

Thank you for your comments, I will return as soon as possible, and I am still online until next week! :)

[Kmpr´rak]

The finished army file. The pic is one from "Helo" Agathon with the head of my brother André. :D

Not the best, but I think it looks nice. :)

[Kmpr´rak]

Some new photos.

[deif]

you do start to life in this world, isn't it? ;)
great work kmpr_rak!

[Kmpr´rak]

Well, yesterday I received my set of dog tags. I´ve chose the one of Saul Tigh, I like his character.

Hm, live in this world .... I think a little bit. :)

[Kmpr´rak]

Some "fun plates" I did today when I had some time. :D

[Kmpr´rak]

Tomorrow the moving to my new home starts and from then I won´t have an internet connection for a while.
I hope to be back as soon as possible. I wish you all the best. :)

[deif]

hope to see you soon, my klingon friend!

[Robert]

Good luck on your move my friend.

[Kmpr´rak]

Thank you very much! :D

[Kmpr´rak]

A new detailed dossier. The pic is my girl-friend! :-D

[deif]

again good work, my friend. it seems, that you focuse now more and more to battlestar galactica - but that's brilliant. it's a pleasure to see the progress of your artwork. you're much better then before....!

[Kmpr´rak]

Thank you, my friend!

Well, I am also working on Star Trek things, but owing to my movement there´s also a lot do do in and for the new flat.
Painting, furniture moving, well, you know.

I have two new "Planets of the Day", I will post them here soon!

[Kmpr´rak]

Some ideas about the "Book of Pythia". Sorry 'bout the missing "are".

[Kmpr´rak]

Another idea I had. Here Part I.

[Kmpr´rak]

Both pages, final version!

[Robert]

Looking great there Kmpr'rak!
Thanks for posting!

[Kmpr´rak]

Thank you very much!

[Adge]

Kmpr´rak,

You do have that special talent for producing articles that I find facination. Again well presented.

[Kmpr´rak]

Thank you very much! Well, My notebook is full of ideas I am trying to find time for!

[Kmpr´rak]

Long planned by me and now finished with the help of a typewriter font!
Different names are from fan projects, the most from me, some from the series! I would like to thank ALL the people
who have "their" own BS's and give them credits here!

[Kmpr´rak]

Some more playing around with the typewriter font.
Coded frequencies for two BSG's, 75 and 62.

[deif]

great work. like your "playing around"...thumbs up!

[Kmpr´rak]

Thank you!

[Kmpr´rak]

My first attempt for a map. Maneuver for BSG 62. Planned for DIN A3 format, but I made also a smaller version.
Take a look!

[mtblillie]

Nice I especially like the maps!

[deif]

great work. stunning!

[Kmpr´rak]

Thank you very much! Yep, when the original props are too expensive....... ;-)

[Kmpr´rak]

A simple door sign.

[Kmpr´rak]

Please, do not smoke! It is not healthy for your lungs.

But ........ here a sort from Tauron, called Amleth!

[Robert]

Great work my friend.
Sorry for not commenting a lot these days. But you deserve a big "thank you"!

[Kmpr´rak]

Doesn´t matter! Thank you for the merits you give me! :-)

[Kmpr´rak]

A new one, this time the "blue" ones. And some photos from my "Amleth Red" one. The base for ot was a box for ear plugs.

[Kmpr´rak]

An idea about attack times on the Colonies in 21354.

[deif]

your galactica stuff becomes more and more epic, my friend!
good work here. keep it up!

[Kmpr´rak]

Thank you!

[Kmpr´rak]

The last one, to finish this project!

[Kmpr´rak]

A funny one I did last year!

[Kmpr´rak]

One of my newest projects. A Colonial passport. There is a guy in Taiwan trading with BSG stuff, and one of his items inspired me for this!

The languages are Colonial (English), Tauronese (Greek, but a very bad), and Gemenese (Indian language, also bad).

[tap364]

A funny one I did last year!

I wanted to flip the page to read some more stories!
Where's the cartoons?

[Kmpr´rak]

I think I should continue with it, hm? Okay, why not!

[tap364]

That's the spirit!

[Kmpr´rak]

After I am nearly finished with my passport, some ideas for the numbering! Hm, a kind of bring "a system into the chaos"! :D

[Kmpr´rak]

I have finished my passport project. Here some photos. The idea was from this guy in Taiwan who sells some Colonial passports, but I do not have the money for it, so I did my own version!

[Kmpr´rak]

Some impressions from the file, and some stamps. I did one for every colony, but here only some impressions!

[deif]

WOW! that's an impressive work. well done, my klingon friend...!

[Kmpr´rak]

Thank you! Yes, it was a two week project, but now I have finished it. And I used not only PowerPoint! :-D

[Kmpr´rak]

An idea I had yesterday evening. Different colors for different branches! :-D

[Adge]

This is what I like about this forum, its diverst interests in all matters. Kmpr´rak these are splendid indeed, well done.

[Kmpr´rak]

Thank you very much!

[Kmpr´rak]

Coded frequencies for BSG 47, like I have done them before for BSG 75 and 62. I have done it for my "Corona" series!

[Kmpr´rak]

A medicament!

[deif]

that's funny, my friend. you even start to label medicaments.....?! wow! what comes next?
btw., good work

[Kmpr´rak]

Well, hm, EVERYTHING? Like I said, I have so much ideas, but not enough time for all, so I have to work on each one after the other ....

And the box is empty, it is a box for Entocort from my girl-friend. No sorrows I label pills wrong! ;-)

[Kmpr´rak]

Here something I did as a kind of explanation or "bridge" between my work and the series "Caprica". It explains the differences between "their" postal zips and my ones.

Meanwhile I have changed the number of the BSG to 45, but this has no meaning regarding the content.

[Kmpr´rak]

Some new "lessons". :-D

[Kmpr´rak]

I corrected several errors in my work today, so only this today, some playing around with ranks and colors!

[Kmpr´rak]

Ideas about the Colonial Mail!

[Kmpr´rak]

A letter and a stamp from Leonis, more modern than the classic Tauron one!

[Kmpr´rak]

Some more additional ideas about Colonial Mail.

[deif]

very cool! like the mail stuff - you even did the stamps, wow!

[Kmpr´rak]

Yes, indeed. Well, like you know, perfection is all! :-D

[deif]

yup, german mentality :- P they try to do everthing perfect -LOL!

[Kmpr´rak]

Right. The little bureaucrats in us!

[Kmpr´rak]

Another "lesson"!

[Kmpr´rak]

Another idea for a possible passport!

[Robert]

That is great Kmpr'rak.
It looks much convincing than your previous attempt (excluding the cat of course lol).

Thank you!

[Kmpr´rak]

Thank you!

[Kmpr´rak]

Something I did today. It connects rumors and different ideas from the internet with my own.

[j.anderson]

keep up the good work. I like what you are doing here and you are getting better and better at it.

[Kmpr´rak]

Thank you very much!

[Kmpr´rak]

This is a scan from the "culture part" of our newspaper. When I saw it I was nearly stunned, because of the "capric". It gave me a new idea for a newspaper concept!

[Kmpr´rak]

A new fun project newspaper!

[Kmpr´rak]

Small update!

[deif]

great stuff! love it!

[Kmpr´rak]

Thank you very much!

[Kmpr´rak]

A new idea, still a WIP!

[Kmpr´rak]

Finished the citizenships. Here the final clear version with two examples, one from Picon, the other from Gemenon. Only screenshots, so do not wonder about pixels or so!

[Kmpr´rak]

Be the machine!!!

[tap364]

Great work as always Kmpr'rak. You never slow down!

[Kmpr´rak]

Thank you. Seven full notebooks, a lot to do!

[Kmpr´rak]

Ideas for a new card game, "Picon Heritage"! Played with 2 card decks! More soon!

[deif]

interesting! look forward...

[Kmpr´rak]

Thanx!

[Kmpr´rak]

The rules!

[Kmpr´rak]

Or take this!

[Kmpr´rak]

Seems to become not "Game of the Year".

[mtblillie]

Lol, we need to put these games in flash or something and organize game nights

[Kmpr´rak]

Would be nice! Thanx for your comment!

[Robert]

Incredibly detailed. Good job there Kmpr'rak!

[Kmpr´rak]

Thank you very much! Did you have some time for my suggestion about the certificate?

[deif]

we are discussing about it. more to hear soon....

[Kmpr´rak]

Done!

[Kmpr´rak]

Some stuff about stocks and stock exchange I did today morning. I do not have any idea about, but I think it looks good. An orientation was the course of Graystone Industries on "The Caprican" website.

[Kmpr´rak]

And I made a new newspaper page! Someone remembers?
Readable original size one and a small edition!

[Kmpr´rak]

A Graystone Industries commercial paper. My newest project, finished. Here only a screenshot.

I will buy some numbered limited packs via ebay and on demand, the first 10 packs will include a cubit banknote of your choice!

[Kmpr´rak]

A new "side project", a CIC table. Only a sketch so far, so do not take the shapes and texts within too serious. :)

The real size of the graphic will be about 3,721 px to 1,772 px, so this is only a small screenshot!

[Kmpr´rak]

Some new maps from me!

[mtblillie]

These are awsome!

[Kmpr´rak]

Thank you, more are in work!

[deif]

your carthography looks outstanding. thnx.

[Kmpr´rak]

Thank you. Well, I think for non-originals not bad! :-D

[Kmpr´rak]

And a last one with this shape, i tried something different.

[Kmpr´rak]

Another map project, inspired by an already existing map. :)

Only a sketch so far.

[Kmpr´rak]

Aside the work on the map above and others here something I did today. It is a screenshot, the real one is larger!

[Kmpr´rak]

Original idea by BA, Cylon pic by Bruce White, whole thing by me!

[Kmpr´rak]

And another cubit banknote!

[deif]

as always - great work, my friend!

[Kmpr´rak]

Thank you! :-D

[Kmpr´rak]

The Colonial Geographic with cut corners, and another idea, representing the Colonial Time Magazine!

[Kmpr´rak]

Another one!

[deif]

man, you should be member of the requisite team in a scifi show production!!!!
awesome stuff, my friend!

[j.anderson]

What can I say. I love your work.

[Kmpr´rak]

^ Thank you guys. Well, would be nice to work there! And perhaps meet you there, because you are also making excellent artwork!

[Kmpr´rak]

Fun!

[Kmpr´rak]

And one more!

[Kmpr´rak]

New pages from the almanac!

[j.anderson]

I am amazed about the amount of information you keep on adding.

[Kmpr´rak]

Thanks, well, that is the main topic of the almanac: information, information, information!

[Kmpr´rak]

A certificate of birth!

[Kmpr´rak]

The one from my alter ego, Commander J. Divers of the BS Corona!

[Kmpr´rak]

Idea for a Colonial Loan!

[Kmpr´rak]

I took some time to "advance" my pattern for Colonial license plates! Added some effects, changed the layout a little bit!

[Robert]

I like it.

Feels more human (although might not be a relevant comment for caprica... lol).

[Kmpr´rak]

Well, would Cylons use license plates? ;-)

[Robert]

LOL
I think they each have one licence plate on their exoskeleton.

[Kmpr´rak]

Nice idea! Except for the human models.

[Kmpr´rak]

And some more perspective here!

[Kmpr´rak]

One of my new maps!

[deif]

absolutely great stuff, my friend! thumbs up!

[Kmpr´rak]

Thank you. There are some more I want to post from time to time here!

[deif]

Let us see them!!!!!

[Kmpr´rak]

I will, I will! :-D

[Kmpr´rak]

Playing around with shapes and ideas.

Two parts of a large civilian map set.

[Badalass]

can anyone explain the dating system for this?:confused:

[Kmpr´rak]

It is one of the systems they used on nuBSG.

I developed a system on my own for it, 14 Colonial months, with 21 to 26 days per month, making the Colonial yahren 351 days long.

So perhaps A1/21354 is Primam 1st, 21354.
R2/21314 is Secundar 18th, 21314.

I use this in all my nuBSG work.

[deif]

brilliant, just brilliant, my friend!

[Kmpr´rak]

Well, only to bring a system into. If it is really right like this, I do not know!

[j.anderson]

I only can keep on repeating myself about what a great job you're doing.

[Kmpr´rak]

Thanks, very kind!

[Kmpr´rak]

Something I wanted to do for several months: a cover for a women's magazine!

[Kmpr´rak]

The cards for my Picon Heritage card game!

[j.anderson]

Nice

[Kmpr´rak]

Thank you!

[deif]

bubbling creativity as always....!!!

[Kmpr´rak]

You know me!

[Kmpr´rak]

First sketch of a "CPL" logo. Early draft so far, more to come!

[Kmpr´rak]

Some more about. Well, "non-canon"! :-D

[Kmpr´rak]

Idea for a team logo! The "Lardayne Cosmics" from Picon!

[Kmpr´rak]

And playing around a little bit with ideas and logo!

[j.anderson]

Do you ever take a break?

[Kmpr´rak]

Sometimes! Or if you all do not want to see my stuff anymore!

[Kmpr´rak]

Going on here!

[Kmpr´rak]

So, the last from today, a colorized 3D edition of the CPL logo!

[j.anderson]

Sometimes! Or if you all do not want to see my stuff anymore!

LOL.. keep em comming.. I am actualy admiring your productivity... you sure you don't have some gophers working for you?

[Robert]

That's one of your best logo there Kmpr'rak.
Thanks for sharing!

[Kmpr´rak]

Thank you, Robert. Very kind.

Well, j., perhaps I disappoint you, but ... everything is made by myself, sometimes some ideas have to wait because I have to think about I will solve some problems in drawing or changing colors and such things.

[deif]

well, the same with all of us, isn't it...?

btw. congrat to the platinum star! looking forward for the gold pressed latinum next? :laugh:

[Kmpr´rak]

^ Thanks, waiting for the next ones here with a P-Star!

Yes, I know what you mean, it is the same with your Cardassian graphics, I think, and now you got it, you make us happy by posting it here! Cool!

[Kmpr´rak]

Finally a colored 2D-logo of the CPL, so I have all editions, b/w, colored 3D and colored 2D. The other pic is one of my perhaps almost known "test screens"! :-D

[j.anderson]

I am going to have to post more :P...

Kmpr' rak I hope my attempts on bringing a sense of humor into the forum aren't throwing you off.

[Kmpr´rak]

No, j., it is absolutely okay! Some fun is not bad at all!

[Kmpr´rak]

With a bit of luck I was able to get "Vector Magic" and started to work with this vectorizing software. Here my first test, a slightly changed test screen from above!

[deif]

WOW! that looks very clean! congrat! me likes.

[j.anderson]

http://www.lcarsc.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1838&d=1287210307

[Kmpr´rak]

:-D Thank you, guys, it was the first test with the prog!

[deif]

:-D Thank you, guys, it ewas the first test with the prog!

what will come next...? if this is your first test, i can't believe, what we will see as final product......!!!

[Kmpr´rak]

Well, at first less work for me regarding rendering and such things. And then, well, surprise, surprise!!

[Kmpr´rak]

Logo of the "Aerilon Premier League", the first league of Pyramid on this colony, and of course part of the CPL, plus last table of the league at the end of the season 21352/53!

[Robert]

I really like this logo.
Great job!

[Kmpr´rak]

Thanks, some more here soon. With a list of the actual teams of each league! :-D

[Kmpr´rak]

As promised, the game goes on! :-D

[Kmpr´rak]

And one more from today! The Caprican "Alpha League"! The logo was already seen in "Caprica"!

[Adge]

Very good indeed.

[Kmpr´rak]

Thank you!

[Kmpr´rak]

And some more today! :-D

[Kmpr´rak]

The Canceron and Picon First Leagues!

[Kmpr´rak]

And two more!

[deif]

when do we see a game scene.....? ;-)

[Kmpr´rak]

^ I don't know, I am only the man for props and statistics! :-D

[deif]

^
not really. you're much more and you've entered a much higher level, my friend!

[j.anderson]

thumbs up

[Kmpr´rak]

Thank you guys! Very kind!

[Kmpr´rak]

And the last two leagues so far!

[j.anderson]

I especialy like the 3rd page (the one with the logos).

[Adge]

I can see a great deal of thought into these marvelous logo's.

[Kmpr´rak]

Thank you, guys. Nothing official, but I think worth to think about the topic, so I did it!

[Kmpr´rak]

Ideas about signs for different car companies from the colonies!

[Kmpr´rak]

I have several more ideas for the BSG universe, developing plots, stories and so on. You will see the different new threads I will update from time to time. Thanks!
