brainstorming

He doesn't want a sit down, so that is out.
Working on vectorizing some raster images I like, but it is slow going, my illustrator drawing skills are worse than my photoshop skills, lol. But it is good practice I guess, and I can sort of warrant doing this on business hours since I am honing my ability to use software I can use in other areas.. right?
Last night I tried overlaying a pretty high res top view of the Millennium Falcon over a side to start drawing my own version of the side of a star wars ship using it as a template. The detail was just too much, I could spend 100 hours on a side doing it, and still not have the ability to make it look the way I want. So that idea is on hold while I explore other ideas..
The ship thing is still an idea, and maybe even going with "Millenium Coyote" as the theme... But not sure if it would be obvious enough or appreciated..
So for now I will explore one of the other options.. I found some decent hi res art last night that would look nice on the sides, and have an idea of how to make that work.. But I also like the idea of more of a vector type side with the rebel alliance logo and the empire logo with the conflict in the middle, so I am going to hit that one first and see what happens.. This is turning into an art thread, but I still need a name and more ideas for the control panel and FE graphics, so for now I figure this is the best place for it.
Keep in mind, while it is themed on Star Wars, I am not looking to theme it for the Star Wars game, so no yoke.. just simple 2 player controls, trackball, and maybe a spinner if I can find a reasonable place for it. Reminds me of a different issue I have been kicking around regarding a spinner.. Might need a thread for that one.
Still looking for more feedback and ideas, so feel free to throw whatever comes to mind out there :) Hopefully I will have some rough art I can post soon..

Xiaou2, while your ideas are , the additional costs incurred would probably be prohibited.
AzureKnight:
Just to throw another idea on the table, you could go for some kind of droid theme YLE-D4 or somesuch. Work their name into the droid name.
dkersten:
That would be cool too.. The whole thing could be a droid and the FE the interface with the droid.. :)
AzureKnight:
I would envision a flat R2-D2 like pattern for the side art and maybe the blue R2 head for P1 and a red R5-D4 head for P2?
I will say I like the ships/stars options as well, just brainstorming other ideas.
