Ah yes. Snide responses telling people to stop asking him just so that he can wait six months and say it's a huge mystery because the person doesn't work there anymore.

It really is amazing the Director of Spaceships finds the time between cataloging French Wing Commander versions to conduct honest, thorough and transparent chair investigations.

Hey Cig intern paid to read the thread! I have something I'd like you to relay to your bosses:

Your entire business model is based around selling (well, allegedly pledging, but you know) jpegs (yeah, yeah, concepts whatever shut up) to backers. If there is one thing to do right, it would be that.

Now, I'd like to put this in perspective for you. When you were hiring linguists for your immersive five alien languages and whatever, would you have hired the guy whose CV had "Lingaist" as title?

Because that is the exact tier of gently caress up you guys committed.

I like the ongoing, slightly understated narrative where no artist with CIG or any related entity wants to use Sandi's actual body in promotional material using her likeness. Between the two options "just steal some poo poo" is preferable.

Not just her body... Anything with her face in it is a 15 year old headshot.

I mean hell, lovely photoshoppers working at subpar trash magazines can take an existing woman's figure and tweak it to make it look thinner or more voluptuous or taller. You're telling me that an ~artist~ with a multi-million dollar company isn't skilled enough in photoshop to make Sandi look how she thinks she ought?

Look, as admittedly funny as this photoshop is, this is what really happened:

Dumb leadership decided they wanted the image for social media

Sandi was away somewhere, so they couldn't just take a photo

Dumb leadership told artist to just figure it out

Low-end artist took a shortcut


It's incompetence, but it's not incompetence on the level of paying the artist to do something the hard way rather than shooting a photo - it's just normal CIG stuff.

The artist might get fired. Life goes on.

so is a "bogey" in star citizen an unknown contact or a hostile contact? because the latter would be a "bandit"

if it's the former, why doesn't chatty cathy say so

I love how much it's talked up when someone just copy pasted her head shot in photoshop. I could do that, and I can barely draw stick figures.

How to determine if art/content/gameplay is good:

Is it from Star Citizen?
-> YES: Amazing, innovative, groundbreaking, a masterpiece!
-> NO: Derivative trash LOL TRY AGAIN AAA PUBLISHER SCUM

It really speaks to the company culture and some underlying management deficiency when a professional artist wont expense the relatively cheap cost of a stock image for their own marketing material.
