Description Introducing my new Jem Bug model. And man, it's one friggin' awful design! Even the reference images I had do not match up. It's like they were using like three different miniatures plus the CGI model, all with different details and color schemes! What the heck, are Jem'Hadar allowed to paint and/or detail their own ships? I don't think so! Anyway, I'm a big fat slob, I left mine the basic purplish grey.

Another fun fact: check the insets of mmy DS9 model closely. I re-textured them. I tried to make a nice "machinery" seamless texture in Photoshop, and I failed miserably. I can't make proper textures, even for my life! So I took the crappy drawing and used it as a template for a 3D model, from which I did a 2D render. Boom, instant seamless machinery tex which actually looks half-decent.

Anyway, I'm getting better, having only one bout of fever per day. Watching the Batman Arkham series as movies on Youtube and lovin' it (would never have the patience to play them, though...). I'M getting talkative, that means isolation is kicking in

I don't think the bug's texture is too bad! When I modelled mine in Sketchup, I used a CGI set of coloured schematics that I got from Doug Drexler's old site. This meant that when my model was completed, it's skin matched the actual one perfectly. If you look at mine here:Β calamitysi.deviantart.com/art/… you'll see that you weren't far off at all. BTW if you want that set of coloured CGI views then just ask and I'll send them to you.

I put a Jem'Hadar Bug in my story Doombringer:Β dalekofborg.deviantart.com/art… In the story, the Bug carries a virus that makes the victim's heart beat faster and faster til it explodes.
