Calling All Space Ship Artists :d

[starfire]

hi, i play a space sim game you may or may not know called freelancer...this game is heavily modded with many servers adding new content all the time.

i recently joined a new server still in development and intend to start a faction complete with its own ships. I have several ideas already and with the help of my friend who has a special bond with 3d max :D, have made one ship and are working on some others, the problem is my imagination is somewhat limited...i lack the ability to come up with a good starting design and my friend is hopless :P

what im asking is if people would like to post designs (either finised ideas or just some opening sketches) they wouldnt mind me using (full credit given) imight heavily adapt them or i may use them as is.
If you like when the server is up and running (currently in alfa testing) you can log on and fly the ships around :D its a very fun game and is free to play.

to help my friend create the 3d image it would be really usefull to get designs with a profile....top view, front view and any other angle you think would help.

the ships im after are:

mining barge
cargo ship
battleships
dreadnaughts (uber battleships ;) )
cruisers
fighters


please ask me anything about anything :D thanks

these arent mine and i don't know whose they are. i don't know if you can use them.

btw i don't think you need permission to make models based off of concept art if its just for personal use.

It would help if you wanted a theme for this faction, and you said what the style of other factions is. (organic, industrial, sleek, imperial, salvage etc.)
