Community Event / Creation Philately doesn't make any sense at all in E:D except maybe for stamps which feature David Braben :)

Hi dear Commanders!

As an enthusiastic stamp collector I couldn't resist to make a stamp version of my recent retro style sci-fi poster featured our dear Cmdr David Braben, inspired by the old Soviet cosmonaut stamps. The illustration is vector-based (I used a vintage Corel Draw 12), so it can be enlarged infinitely. The text, the denomination and the perforation was made with Photoshop. It's brown-purple pair has been made after somebody mentioned in Reddit that the illustration is lack of his essential mug, so I made a complement for the original one just for fun. The two pieces are strictly valid only together!

Here comes my request:

A fellow commander did come up with the mindblowing idea for a full set of stamps which portrayed David in various situations (of course in the Elite Universe). I'd like to collect ideas for this project from the community. Here is a really great example from Cmdr handsomeAniki:
"Braben in a officer's uniform with mug in hand looking over a hanger with some ship docked. or even standing in the foreground looking stern, ship and hanger in background."

Of course they will be available as high resolution propaganda posters too.

Thank you so much in advance!!!

If you are interested, here is the download link to the original, extra high resolution propaganda poster: http://elitedangerous.hu/a-kozosseg...ibute-to-david-braben-elite-dangerous-poster/

Love the stamps. Is that Aisling's profile?

My stamp idea would be a heroic David in the seat of his Cobra with berserker eyes desperately firing his empty multi-cannons as his canopy explodes.

Not a stamp collector but that is beautiful!

This is amazing work! I love when artists just casually create some artwork for the games they love :)

Big ups and rep to you Sir!

Many thanks rootsrat for your kind compliment! It's always pleasure to work on something what you love. I enjoyed each and every moment of creating these pieces. :) Everyone needs something - even if you like your work - which brightens up the dull everydays. :)

Anyway not "Sir", I'm one of the few female commanders ;)
