Lego Star Trek 2.0. Let me make you an AVATAR of your character!

WARNING: This is a fanart project. I don't own Star Trek or Lego obviously. Obviously they're not sponsoring this. They have nothing to do with this! Legal warning stuff! :P




Okay. This is revisiting the Lego Star Trek pixel art stuff I made long ago before the game launched and had a massive thread with contests to get new characters. It won't work the same way this time.

Here's examples of my older sprites. I'll be updating them.

Here's some of MY STO CHARACTERS I have made into sprites then stuck into an Avatar. 100% custom. You could have your characters sprited too!

Maket was my first character after launch. A Tactical Federation Cardassian though I really like the idea of him being a part of Starfleet Intelligene (hence the black garb ;) ).

Matthews my Engineer. He's a boring human.

My Klingon Defense Force Character is actually another Cardassian! Cardassians PWN! She pwns!

YOU COULD HAVE A CUSTOM SPRITE TOO!!!









Anyways here's how it works...


Post here asking for a sprite. If you want your character sprited post a screenshot of your character pointing straight to the screen, big enough to see and with a view of the full body.
I won't make promises. This could easily be a suicide mission. I don't think I could possibly keep up so...

Here's what will give you a HIGHER chance to have me turn your character into a LEGO SPRITE!

1) Have a character that's not crazy. Really, try to keep it simple. Please don't have detailed armor on at the time. If possible stick to the basics (like canon uniforms and ones I've made already) because making new uniforms and stuff takes a lot more time. It's not required you do this but it would help. I plan to slowly do more and more uniforms anyways.

2) Got to http://www.startrekonline.com/enterprise/gallery?share=1166 and VOTE 5 STARS for my ENTERPRISE-F then come here and say you did! No, this is not required. I'm not bribing you to vote for my ship. This will just motivate me to do more sprites and do them faster! Happy people work better!
Again, please vote for my ship at that link! Then you can comment on the ship at http://forums.startrekonline.com/showthread.php?t=196363 and tell me what you think (after voting 5 of course ;) ). If I see my vote count on my ship rise I'll go superdrive on these things!


3) Give me the name of your character so I can put it in the sprite. Tell me what faction the character is.




Also, this is NOT a first come first server basis. I'm going to do the ones that A) I think I can do and B) are more interesting. Plus I'm going to do them at whatever pace I can.



Also, as an alternative I'll also be giving away one of the older sprites of the characters in Star Trek (the ones in the links I showed you) to people who get the answer to a question right. If you get the answer right first you'll get to choose from that collection of sprites and I'll let you use it.



Also if you won some from that time I held these contests way back in the day then you can still use that one.







P.S. Again, motivate me! Make me smile and more sprites shall fall upon you. :P
http://www.startrekonline.com/enterprise/gallery?share=1166
Vote 5-stars!
Not required... but recommended because I really want votes. But I will not refuse to do your sprites if you don't vote. It'll just make me sad. :(

    I stayed up all night so the first wave of custom sprites for you guys will be after I get sleep.

    Again, tell your character's name, faction and give a screenshot if you want them made into a sprite.



    As for the first "question" for the chance to win a MAIN CHARACTER...

    Well this is proving that while really popular when I first did it now nobody cares. I thought it would be fun. :P

    Did all the fun people leave the community? ;)

    AND you like Legos. Im liking you more and more every day, lol. For a second there, I thought you were actually MAKING custom figs. Then I realized you were just painting them. But, awesome painting.

    I was tooling around with the Lego Digital designer. Im making a mini fig scale house. I'll email you the pics some day. But right now, Im too caught up in STO, and "The Lake House" is on hold, lol.

    I'd like to actually make some Trek minifigs some day but it's pretty involved and would cost me a lot for the proper equipment (otherwise you get the TRIBBLE ones with uneven paint and stuff).

    Plus making custom hair and stuff like visors would be hard as heck. I've never done anything like it before. If I had tons of cash I'd probably give it a try though. I'd love to have the entire TNG cast in Lego form.

    Give it some time! :)

    I'd bite, but I've got too many characters and my avatar may change to something completely unrelated at a moment's notice (though I'm not yet as bad as Cappie or Raven) - but I'd hate to request something that I only use every now and then.

    Id ask for one, but to many posts in here might jeopardize my well crafted lurker status. Well, that, and i've yet to find a decent star fleet issued Luchador mask that suits me.

    I love the LEGO and I thank Danes for inventing this wonderful toy. I built my first U.S.S. Enterprise - D at the age of 12. Unfortunately the saucer was in the shape of the square but still was fairly good - even separated himself from the star drive section.

    Klingons made by you looks really super. Great idea. I wish you good luck :)

    I'm not. At this point I'd do it for anyone (as long as they didn't have an insanely difficult to do character).

    That's just a request. :rolleyes:

    I've done a few with what you supplied:

    My main character, Liberated Borg. Vice Admiral Lydia Marx. I wouldn't mind seeing a better version, I saw the "let me make your character a lego" and "as long as it is not too hard" I don't imagine it would be. here's a screen-cap

    My Doctor, Frul "Sonar". This one came out great. I wish they would add the doctor's coat in game, he needs one.

    My KDF officer. Josin Tayln, Joined Trill. Came out okay. hardly ever play the character.

    Next two are the ones I can't make with what you supplied.

    Jim my self named character. I would have just put him in a different uniform but the whole reason I made him was for the NX class and the Enterprise uniform. Naturally he is a member of the Federation.

    Last one may be impossible, but is one I'd really like to see.

    See I made a character to look like a Ghost from Starcraft, seen here: Kestrel
    I'd like to eventually use these lego pictures to make a group shot as a desktop or something and I'd hate to leave her out, though if it's not do-able I completely understand.
    If it helps, here is an actual lego of a Ghost: Linky. For reference, my avatar is a picture of what she is based on.

    I'll go vote for your ship now, I really have no stake in who wins anyways so why not vote for someone offering to do free commissioned artwork.

    Thanks.
