First post from within OpenOffice, about spaceships and Ralph McQuarrie

By The Illustrator  

OK test time, I’ve just added the blog client for OpenOffice to the version I’m using on my Linux machine, and naturally I’m very curious about whether it’s going to work or not.

I’ve also been doing some more work on the 3D spaceship I started much earlier.

I have added detail to the inside of the mesh and am considering what kind of strange space aliens to populate it with. I’ve been trying out ideas using my graphics tablet in Gimp, just hashing lines in over the render of the spaceship interior.

I’ve also been looking at Ralph Mcquarrie images as inspiration. As you can see from the image it is very early days for this conceptual drawing and it should develop a lot over soon.

I’m very interested about how, and if this is going to work, but I’m rooting for this because I like OpenOffice very much – despite the dodgey spell checker – and it’ll be cool to use it for blogging.

OK, here goes, apparently I just export the document to Webblog. There is even a new button in the icon bar which looks a bit like a feather. OK, I’m about to push the button…
