There may be some confusion about the Thraddash. The HD Thraddash Kwayne made was never used in the game. He just sort of picked what inspired him, and this guy inspired him. My character was drawn before his was, but just needed the background finished, and to be animated.

His character is a lot smoother, and mine almost has a stony skin. Different interpretations, different styles, but still cool stuff. ]]>

The Umgah. A little darker, and more contrast than the original.

I just had fun with this one, and didn't worry too much about getting exactly like the original. Fun, but the time deadline made this one rushed. I think it shows in a lot of areas. ]]>

Hungary remained very much an unwilling satellite of Germany. In March 1944, Hungary was attempting to quit the war, and was seen by Nazi Germany as reluctant to take sufficient measures against the Jews. Germany needed Hungarian oil wells located around Lake Balaton. In October 1944, Horthy was caught negotiating peace with the Allies. orthy and his government were replaced by "Hungarist" Ferenc Szálasi, from the Arrow Cross Party.

More than 1 million Russian and Romanian soldiers attacked Budapest. It took 100 days, with a 80 thousand dead and a quarter million wounded. When the Soviets finally claimed victory, they initiated an orgy of violence, including wholesale theft of anything they could lay their hands on, random executions, and mass rape. An estimated 40,000 civilians were killed, and as many as 200,000 women raped.

I'm not sure what kind of bombers were used, but this Russian bomber existed at the time. If there are any historical errors in the drawing, please send me a note. ]]>

Some things of note:
1. ICOM Online: Onscreen help shows the keys.
2. Captain's Log: View Notes.
3. Dark Gray and blue look.
4. Clouds added to the starmap.

This was actually a collaboration with Kwayne64.
[link]
So much of a collaboration, that we had to discuss who would put it up on their site. Kwayne graciously offered it to me.

I started the guy, but had no time to finish it. So when you see an unusual amount of polish for my stuff, it's him. It was hard to to let Kwayne finish him. I really wanted to finish him. But to make deadlines we all had to make hard decisions. But, it was like giving up a child He did a fantastic job, and I have no problem taking credit for his hard work

This is actually one of my favorite art pieces in the game. I think we compliment each other well. I'll enjoy working with Kwayne again in the future. ]]>

To those purists who like the old background better:

I like the new background. I think the old background was a product of the technology at the time. So, like the Spathi background I decided to update it. But I realize I'm battling nostalgia and what people are used to so I also made the original background.

Practicing clouds, and I thought it would make a good background to use with the mystical Arilou. The Arilou was a challenge too because the image was so small. People filled in the gaps with their imagination. I found it difficult to keep the Arilou friendly looking but when going to higher resolutions, he started to look evil.

Highly inspired by the work of Casperium [link] I tried to capture the feel of her work [link] and it gave me a chance to practice clouds. Something I'm really not too good at. ]]>

History:
The Dnyarri were an ancient, extremely evil, highly intelligent and lazy1 race capable of mental compulsion (a single Dnyarri could psychically control an entire planet)2. They resembled large, brown toads with two suckers at the end of each of the four legs, a grossly pulsating skull and sinister looking face. Their discovery by a young Ur-Quan scout allowed the psychic Dnyarri to quickly dominate the Sentient Milieu. The Ur-Quan were enslaved for thousands of years under the Dnyarri's yoke, and were eventually split in to the Kzer-Za and the Kohr-Ah.

The Dnyarri favored the Ur-Quan over the other species of the Milieu, due to their weak resistance to mind control. They used the Ur-Quan to wipe out many member races of the Milieu over time. During this period, the Dnyarri re-engineered the Ur-Quan DNA into two types, the green (Kzer-Za) who were the political leaders and scientists, and the black (Kohr-Ah) who were the builders, warriors, and general "do"ers.

After the Dnyarri had grown complacent, and had given some time free to the Ur-Quan, the Green Ur-Quan researcher Kzer-Za found out that the Dnyarri had to disconnect from a slave's mind if the slave experienced extreme pain. Kzer-za broadcast this discovery to the rest of the Ur-Quan, who started inflicting pain and agony upon themselves to relinquish their minds from the Dnyarri control. The freed Ur-Quan slaughtered the Dnyarri en masse.

Death wasn't a good enough punishment for the Dnyarri in the eyes of the Ur-Quan. As they had been engineered, so too did the Ur-Quan re-engineer the Dnyarri into sub-sentience, making eternal slaves of them, using them to communicate for them whenever they communicated with a species they felt was less advanced than they were (which was often). These Talking Pets are used aboard all Dreadnought and Marauder vessels. ]]>

Their discovery by a young Ur-Quan scout allowed the psychic Dnyarri to quickly dominate the Sentient Milieu. The Ur-Quan were enslaved for thousands of years under the Dnyarri's yoke, and were eventually split in to the Kzer-Za and the Kohr-Ah.

The Dnyarri favored the Ur-Quan over the other species of the Milieu, due to their weak resistance to mind control. They used the Ur-Quan to wipe out many member races of the Milieu over time. During this period, the Dnyarri re-engineered the Ur-Quan DNA into two types, the green (Kzer-Za) who were the political leaders and scientists, and the black (Kohr-Ah) who were the builders, warriors, and general "do"ers.

After the Dnyarri had grown complacent, and had given some time free to the Ur-Quan, the Green Ur-Quan researcher Kzer-Za found out that the Dnyarri had to disconnect from a slave's mind if the slave experienced extreme pain. Kzer-za broadcast this discovery to the rest of the Ur-Quan, who started inflicting pain and agony upon themselves to relinquish their minds from the Dnyarri control. The freed Ur-Quan slaughtered the Dnyarri en masse.

Death wasn't a good enough punishment for the Dnyarri in the eyes of the Ur-Quan. As they had been engineered, so too did the Ur-Quan re-engineer the Dnyarri into sub-sentience, making eternal slaves of them, using them to communicate for them whenever they communicated with a species they felt was less advanced than they were (which was often). These Talking Pets are used aboard all Dreadnought and Marauder vessels.

This HD-Remake is still a work in progress. I plan on fixing the background. In the game, the nebula background is yellow, but I really like the blue background for wallpaper. It makes the colors pop out more.

I went through so many variations of this. I wanted something to show the body more of the Ur-Quan, and tried changing it radically from the original. But the original was so ingrained in my mind, I just decided to keep it close to the original. ]]> pic.

Based upon the box art monster of Star Control 2 as seen here: [link] I believe I'm the only person on the planet who has created fan art from the box.

The alien was supposed to be another artist's interpretation of the Ur-Quan. Typical of box art of the day, it looks nothing like the game art.

The Lurg was created for project 6014, a fan created sequel for Star Control 2 - The Urquan Masters (which you can download here: [link] ) I tried about 30 different aliens, when at 2am, I thought, 'Why not use that weird alien on the box?' And the next day the Lurg was born. Of course, we couldn't come up with a name until many weeks later. His codename was 'Arg'. My feeling when everything I was doing was getting rejected by the team.

The name 'Lurg' was one of the names on Star Control 1's copy protection wheel. Professor Zorg's Guide to Alien Etiquette which also provided the basis for many Star Control 2 aliens such at Zot-Fot-Pik, Slylandro, Orz, etc. ]]>
