[OFFICIAL] A small request.... :-)

Hi all,

I'm looking for a few people who might have the time and talent to contribute
some bits of artwork for forthcoming publications (primarily FT3, but also for
FMA and other projects down the line).

I'd better clarify this a little......

Is there anyone out there who would be willing to do us some art, either
hand-drawn or computer-generated? I need to start thinking about
internal art (B&W) for forthcoming books and maybe even the cover for FT3
(don't all go crazy, it is still some way off, that's why I'm asking
now!).....

Has anyone maybe already modelled any of the ships in 3D on their computer, or
done anything for their own amusement that would be good enough to publish?

Boefore going any further, I must make this very clear: I CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY
CASH for artwork (I wish I could, but the whole print operation is on a
shoestring budget anyway to bring the books in at a reasonable retail
price), but it will of course gain you immeasurable peer-group
admiration, a limited amount of fame (!) and probably a whole bucket load of
funny shaped metal bits to stick in your drawer and never get round to
painting (not to mention a great deal of grateful thanks and glowing credits
in the
book....).

Now, having said we can't pay money, I'm sorry if the next bit sounds
cheeky - but the work has GOT to be good - very good. You know how many
times you open a rulebook and think "hmmm, pretty rough art, why didn't they
get some decent stuff...?" (and yes, I know this applies to some of
our own products too!) - well, to avoid this we really need to print
only very good stuff.

Well, I've asked. Hope no-one minds me doing so. If anyone wants to
reply, PLEASE do it OFF LIST.

Thanks for listening (reading??), and we now return you to your regular
programming.....
