Yeah I know.
I collect concept art. I Have a library of cool books and many gigabytes of digital designs.

Agreed on this bit
Great stuffWe also need shark teeth. So side templates is needed. This is the kind of stuff that makes a game great. Include the community so they can show of their talents. Im hoping this can bring some awesome skins to E.D
I also think we need shark teeth. An anaconda with shark teeth is the first thing that came to mind when I heard of this competition.
Or an anaconda which has a bow (front) that looks like this:-

Have you tried vectoring it yourself? I often use this website for free http://vectormagic.com/home
Just upload the image, fiddle with some settings until happy and download in the format of your choice. Would probably convert to the original format before emailing it to them.

My attempt, I love black & white.

I like the skins I got. They look better as they get worn I think. The chrome one on my Cobra is cool to take screens of under different lighting. I use the green for my Vulture most times, for the obvious reasons. Folks have been asking for player drawn skins for years now, it will be interesting to see what our CMDRs come out with.
If you don't like them, you have a choice not to buy them of course.
This any better?

Ooh, nice battleship grey action. I think the anaconda, because of its shape, will take very nicely to standard naval patterns.
here's mine, not done yet though .
Great idea
Still i know what ill be doodling with tonight
If I had both top and side templates, the temptation to build the ship in 3D would be too great
I doubt artistic skills are all that much of an advantage - I think they'll be looking for a striking idea with wide appeal/potential, more than how polished the presentation of the idea is.
Art teams are used to evaluating quick-and-rough art concepts, looking for potential rather than polish. I think if you've got a really good idea, you could probably color it in crayons and still be in with a shot
(ie some visual sensibility will help, but I doubt you need technical skill)
Yes there are certainly also artists who ignore themselves

Do not complain. It could still be paying to do it. Just kidding of course, it is a very friendly competition in my opinion

It is not bad! But remove the character
I love it! FD should make this for all the ships, also with various other colours replacing the yellow - red, green, blue, purple etc.
There probably will be better crafted snake skins, but I am throwing the idea for inspiration.
For those curious, I used the Gimp (free) and the mosaic filter (give you an hexagon option).
I like this!
Do you think you could curve the yellow bands more? Maybe gentle at the bow and becoming steeper at the bridge? Maybe actually flush with the dark grey bit and over the rear wings?
Sorry not to be able to contribute but I'd have to print a template off and get to it with Crayola!

Personally I'd love to see a Python with an actual Royal Python paint job, mainly 'coz I used to have a pet Royal of my own. In fact, I'd love to see a whole range of snake-themed skins appropriate to all the snake-themed ships we have in the game.
