I never quite liked the Starwind Yacht image I've been using in my Stats book:
It's a very dull pic and the ship looks stunted, nowhere near as grand as the deckplans make it out to be.
So I found this pic and thought "Wow, that's way cooler." But alas, it's not in color, and I'm a sucker for color.
So I decided to use the texture of that first picture and apply it to that second picture, thus creating the pic I really wanted. The best of both worlds, so to speak. Well, after some work, this is the final result:
Just though I'd share.

The top pic is from Stock Ships.
The b/w pic is the first pic to be published, IIRC, in the Last Command Sourcebook, art by Tim Eldred.

Thanks hisham, I guess I could have looked it up myself... but with all the books I have and the limited time that I have have... I'd rather delegate it out to the Rancor Pit community!

Thanks for the info, Hisham.
ANd yes, I used only Photoshop. I shredded the orginal color picture, making "stickers" for each section of the ship. Then I distorted an applied these stickers to the correspondent part and filled in anything that was still missing.

Wow...looks absolutely GREAT, Gry.
*sighs* I wish I'd been able to get into the graphic design field after I got my degree; all those skills, rusting away, with no chance to use them on my own.   |
