Ugh.. too bad this thread is as dead as dead can be...

Remember, for every poster there's a lot of stalkers... :laugh: Good work! I'd like to the one hunting the Sectoids... (well, come to think of it, not really :D)

 

As for promoting fan-art, fan-fiction and so on, we'll hopefully get our newsletter up and running again in a couple of months time.

 

@Zombie: Maybe a news post about our fan-art, fan-fiction and so on soon?

I cannot classify these as fan art - but they are certainly arty and one at least has a direct link to XCOM. Both works in progress, but thought I'd share them anyway.

 

A clay man thingy resembling a Power Suit:

Part of my time's been wasted on this clay sculpture (also my first attempt). Don't know if I'll ever complete it, but if I do it'll need to be sanded off and more clay padded on to fix the proportions a bit. Luckily one thing I like about the XCOM power suit is that it actually looks lumpy in the game, so I can get away with some of my mistakes. :laugh:

 

edit: Yes, I realize it's missing thumbs. They were going to go on last - in case I decided I wanted to add a prop like a rifle.

 

Next, an ode to the Skyranger:

My other passion besides XCOM: I've been spending most of my weekends working on this Armored Core model kit I'm thinking of entering into a competition in the middle of the year. The only reason I'm mentioning this is because when I was almost through painting it I went "hey, this scheme reminds me of something...". Before you knew it I connected it with the Skyranger. So I coated a bit of the chrome on the front of the core with clear yellow. I know the Skyranger's more of a bluish gray rather than a metallic blue, but it still reminded me so much of it that I had to do it.

 

Just needs the yellow circle with the red X painted on somewhere and maybe the jumpsuit badge to complete this.

Found this on DeviantArt whilst searching for "X-COM wallpaper" on Google (lots of scantily clad ladies appear for some reason - must be that sleazy letter X):

The full page is here: https://netical.deviantart.com/art/X-Com-Remake-135300980

The screenshot he's recreated is here: https://img32.imageshack.us/img32/5471/2dgj80g.gif

And the artist he mentions in the comment has lots of game-related pics that are worth a look here: https://browse.deviantart.com/?q=gallery:Or...=9&offset=0

I've always thought, just to drum up a little bit of fun, you could hold a cute/funny sectoid draw-off with simple prizes such as Strategycore t-shirts or somesuch.

 

For the record, I don't drink alcohol and am stone cold sober as I'm typing this. Just had the idea rolling around in my head for years now. :P

In which case it's on then. We'll get together some other goodies as well and launch a competition.

 

May as well wait a month or so though just so it can tie in with other interesting things I'm not going to tell you about juuuust yet :P

It's no secret that X-Com has been an inspiration for many.

 

Given the resurgence of the franchise, with two new potential entries in the series not that far away, some artists have, as of late, felt compelled to revisit the original games or just rekindle past memories, with interesting results.

 

Below is a gathering of old and new X-Com related pieces found at Deviantart in my travels. Enjoy! :blush:

Not sure whether we've had these before:

 

This one is safe for work, but the link in the text below isn't: https://amrrr.deviantart.com/art/Hidden-movement-176380084

 

From there I ended up here with a whole bunch I've not seen before, along with some I have: https://xcom-central-command.deviantart.com/

 

Sorry if these have already been covered - I was looking on Google Images for "hidden movement" and that first link was top of the pile :blush:
