Some quick type of bird....like a swallow of some sort, perhaps? But it'll have to be quite spacious, right? Seeing as it is a cargo and passenger ship.
Hmm....I keep on thinking of this one Star Trek movie set for the game room...that movie played too much.

It shouldn't be to large, it's an "illegal transport cargo" ship, so it won't be a frater.

This hasn't really been confirmed, but here is a rough floor plan of what I intended for the Clarity. That doesn't mean much about the outside of the ship (I don't even know how the bridge connects to the primary ship), but it might be helpful.

OK, let's say the bridge connects to the upper floor, through a neck craning either straight forward, or up.
hows that sound?

The bridge does connect to the upper floor, yes. A neck sounds fine; that can change depending upon the artist's view.
Overall, I'm thinking the ship will be fairly small and just vaguely blocky, though probably with wings capable of flying in atmosphere

Perhaps it would help if you were specific as to what exactly you still want to be done, and recap what has already been decided?
For my part, I've been doing a lot of fiddling with the greater plot. Lochaber Axe and I really need to talk. I have the first 19 pages of the first issue complete, with 7 more original pages to go. However, I intend to add two other scenes to the first issue (partially to foreshadow and show we have things past the Grendal Arc in mind, partially to make the first issue larger).

If I may have everyone's attention.
Pardon me, but for the moment I am going to take over this thread. I have completed the script for the first issue (though I would appreciate time to properly edit it). It will be thirty six pages total, though possibly more, because if I erred in any respect it was attempting to place too much action on each page.
It strikes me that our project will be taken much more seriously (by CAA and other artists), as well as have more clarity (pun ever so intended) if we have the first issue completed. Therefore, I am temporarily asking that all artists involved refocus on what is necessary to complete the first issue. After that, we can finish working with the rest of the character designs, as there is no need to begin on the second issue and beyond for some time.
Here is what must be at least addressed prior to issue #1 (basically everything to at least some degree):
Hisharo Character Design (it will probably be exotic, so we should have it set up)
Jill Thomas Character Design (can vary later)
Nanny Character Design (can vary later)
Bill Randy Character Design (can vary later)
Sutherland Character Design (should be basically set)
James Granger Character Design (he appears rarely)
Emily Vassey Character Design (she appears rarely)
Chip Colburn Character Design (only one panel)
Ray Chico Character Design (only one panel)
Nikki Lyric Character Design (should be basically complete)
Clarity Design (just a wee bit important)
Three Extremely Vague Villain Designs (gotta love dimly lit scenes)
Aliens (they should look moderately human. They should have grey skin, which should look unearthly, not African-American)
That is a fair amount, but I think it is basically doable without an excessive amount of labor, provided that we can determine acceptable character designs. Now, however, let me address another issue, one of general plotting.
Our first issue is good, in that it sets up the basic plot but yet leaves the reader wanting more. However, it leaves many loose ends and introduces many characters. As the manga progresses, we need to give readers some time to catch up and actual satisfy some of the many curiosities they will have after the first issue. At the moment it is good, but it could devolve into only confusion.

Alrighty, looks good,
I'm searching for a mech artist now.
BTW I urge anyone who knows a good artist who could help, to please let me or them know.
(PS: I'm thinking about trying to find colorers one or two pictures of the manga, so same there.)

By the by, the first issue will not require a mech artist, unless the Clarity counts in that category. Most of the artwork is the characters, a city and a chase scene.
In a moment I will be going back and modifying my former post. That which we have already done will no longer be bold (to be completed should be). Also, I would urge that you look over this thread, ZiP, there is a lot of art here that could be sufficient and save us a lot of time.

God bless you Krescent I just saw these and every-single-one of them is EXACTLY what we need, not a pixel off, I'm adding all these up to the front page.
Some of them could use some extra poses, but if we really need to we cna get to that later.

I'm sorry, but after much thought, I've finally decided to drop this project. I've found I can't work with it. The amount of frustration that accompanies this project takes away too much from my time.
I hope that you may get another, better artist to replace me. I hold no grudges against any one of you. It was, to a certain degree, fun. (Don't worry, I won't steal any of these ideas.)

At the moment I will be brief, as I do not believe words will accomplish a great deal.
I am sorry to hear of this development, but I will not comment upon it. Save to say this: perhaps this should be a moment for all of us to reconsider where this project is going, how we are going about it and what we intend to accomplish. Predictably this will cause a momentary stalling of work... but stalling doesn't have to be bad.

Alright guys,
I'm going to see what you think about where we're going and if we can do this, and if we should do it.
Let me know,

Strictly in terms of righting and probability, I can continue to write and rough storyboard as needed. There are significantly more plans in place. Artists are free to PM me regarding questions; I am willing to tell anything necessary, but spelling every little aspect out at this point would not be productive.

It's hard but I've come to a decision.
I can't continue on with this project because:
1- I question how well I have actually lead this team.
2- I'm having a lot of trouble keeping people on the team. we started this project with 10 members, there are not but 4 now...
Much thanks to those of you who stayed on the team, and I hate to end this project before even one issue was released, but I do not think at this point, I can lead this project.

I miss CAA for one week and so many things happen (-_-)\.
This is quite disappointing to hear. I do want to state this. IMO, the number of members on the team does not decide how successful the project goes, so you need not be distressed when the number drops.
Have you appointed someone to take over after this? Anyone from the team? (I'm not sure who's in) It's a shame considering that you already have some concept art and script written out already.

When the number drops to 1 artist, and 2 writers, and I can't find anybody to join, there's plenty of reason to "distress".
If anybody else wants to take over the project, far be it from me to stop them,
We have UC, Lochaber Axe, and Krescent moon, if any of them want to take over, they can...

Well, I will at least ask this of the assorted artists: would you wish to continue this project?
If so, I could manage this project, though I am not sure what else I would really do, other than some art related things. I've never really had images of the characters in mind, so I would merely pick my favorites that have already been posted in this thread. Considering that the first issue is written, we could probably start working on it once the design of the Clarity is complete (any artist is free to use their imagination regarding that, I don't care, greatly). However, I won't expend the effort if others are not interested.
