Massive Request List!
Right, I need a whole scenario worth of units as I couldn't draw using PSP if my life depended on it. I would like as many original units a possible all in a semi-realistic style (ie. not quite nemo style but not hyper-real-photo-like, if you know what i mean ).

So, brace yourselves , here comes the list:

Jet Planes
Gloucter (sp) Meteor
Dassault Mirage III
BAe Harrier
Panavia Tornado
F-86 Sabre
McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom
McDonnel Douglas F/A-18 Hornet
Lockheed F-117
MiG-15
MiG-19
MiG-24 Foxbat
MiG-29 Fulcrum
Su-27 Flanker

Tanks
M4 Sherman
M48 Patton
M60
M1 Abrams
Centurion
Leopard
Leopard 2
Challenger 2
T-34
T-55
T-72
T-80

Infantry -- Post WW2 Uniforms (as if you couldn't guess )
US Infantry
US Marines
NATO Infantry -- Have NATO logo on sheild or on a flag
UK Royal Marines
Soviet Infantry
Soviet Guard
Arab Infantry
Arab Fanatics -- Arab civillians with cheap arms (look disorganised)
Chinese Infantry

Other Stuff
USS Enterprise -- the aircraft carrier, not star trek
U-2 Spyplane
Tomahawk Missile -- depicted in-flight please
US Chopper Infantry -- A Chinook/Cobra with some US Infantry as well
Soviet Chopper Infantry -- A Mi-17 with some Soviet Infantry

I know that some of these have been done in this thread, but I keep forgetting which ones. If some have already been done please say where but I want them all to match.

If anyone needs some pics to have a unit then I will find some.

Thanks in advance, the talent here is awesome .

You know, I could do with some of the stuff on that list. Are you by any chance doing a Cold War scenario of some kind?

Oh, and this is my attempt at a NATO Infantry unit. It's not fantastic, but the NATO logo is hard to shrink into an area the size of a Civ2 shield.

Yes, I am doing a Cold War scenario. A long time ago I recognised a 'gap in the market' so to speak and thought out how it could roughly be implemented,however I realised that the AI could never handle a Cold War situation no matter how many events we used.

But now with PBEM around I've revived it and have (just about) finished the tech tree and finalised the lists for Units, Wonders and Improvements. All I really need to finish it myself is a good giga-map of the world (the one on CivFan was dissapointing) and the unit graphics.

And don't get yourself down Paul, thats a perfectley good modification of a unit! If you think you can do more by all means have a go at the others.

Also, could anyone tell me where I could find some decent modern looking city graphics and a good pic for 'urban' terrain (not WW2 but modern).

Thanks

I am in need of a person unit with these specifications:

-facing forward
-green shirt w/ vertical black stripe
-white pants
-black shoes
-black hair; uniracial tannish skin
-wide, bony claws over right hand
-a non-military look

This is a rough idea of what I envision (but instead not holding his arms straight out and not looking so much like Ernie from Sesame Street ):

Thanks, WV . . .
but, with my typical level of patience, I went ahead and modified a unit on my own. It came out very nice, looks just like I want it to (blue jacket/white pants/white helmet), so I just put it in. IIRC, I already have the units you posted (somewhere).

About the only things I'm really searching for are;

1.) An icon that will look good for the Arms Race wonder,

and

2.) A unit that will look like a generic Arab/Persian/Afghan/Chinese/Malay infantry soldier.

Hey! King Parrot! It's cold, wet, etc . . . how about coming up with these?

Are you ship-makers using a book or a website as models for your graphics?

Just curious.

I could recommend a site or two.

I figured you might be, what with the units on that list. I've been working on a Cold War scenario for about a year and a half now, entitled "Red Storm" (not a scenario of the book "Red Storm Rising", BTW), but I'm making slow progress.

Except for one.

The WWI River monitor. A "monitor" started out as a relatively swift, low-freeboard riverine warship. The famous monitor that fought the Hampden Roads battle with the C.S.S. Virginia is the prototype. But by 1914, the monitor had developed into a substantially larger ship, but not nearly as large as a capital ship, or even an armored cruiser. The later monitors had very large calibre guns, up to 10-inch naval rifles. Here is a pic I located;
Yes, I know that the image is far from perfect. I'll probably end up redoing it. I may well replace the river monitor unit in the scenario in which I am using it with a predreadnought unit instead, so I didn't put a whole lot of effort into making it look proper.

http://www.navsource.org is a brilliant site and has photos of just about every American warship of the last 100 years! edit: oops, ANZAC beat me to this one

http://www.hazegray.org/ has a lot of excelent photos and the current order of battle of most of the worlds navys (like Janes, but free )

www.fas.org has a small amount of stuff

http://www.naval-technology.com/ is also worth a look for modern stuff

and if all else fails, there's always Google

Thanks Case. On the side turrets I had a problem: I didn't want them to be too big, yet I still was trying to get a "rounded" effect. SHould they be larger or smaller? Because the only way I can fix the sides is to make them larger.

I think that you need to reduce the extent that the top of the front turret is displayed - it looks wrong in comparison to the forward main turrent.
I'll fiddle around with it and send you the results

This is a collection of terrains for my upcoming sci-fi scenario. My favorite from the bunch is "decoy."

I need a unit for ToT with these specifications:

-big, ugly, green virus-looking thing
-five eye things on it (big one on top, four smaller ones below)
-pointy injection-like projections on bottom (first three bent, fourth straight)
-asymmetrical design
-two fleshy arm-like projections on either side
-rests on piece of metal

Here's the final picture ('cept it's too big):

One day, just for the heck of it, I was doodling some viruses. I drew this particularily lopsided, clothes iron-looking one, thought, "This is cool," and added a bunch of stuff to it. I ended up drawing this beast, and it is what actually gave me the inspiration to create my scenario-in-progress.

I have more ugly baddies like this, such as the Mammocyte (mammoth-like), Gug-Gug (a slimy alien living in a tin can), and the Mexican Wrestling Skeleton (explains itself), which I am using to practice making hand-drawn Civ units. That way I can use this thread as a Graphics Showcase, instead of as a Graphics Beg-and-Plead.

Edit: I did add the long nail-like things on the bottom, though.
