So I was reading National Geo the other day, and there was a story about the potential for oil and gas under the north pole. Talking about Russia, the US, other countries and this huge collaborative effort to get it all.
So I was thinkin, that might make a decent base for a really short story, and some accompanying artwork. I have a project now thats taking up all my time, but I wanted to know if there was anyone here who might like to just jot some plot points down on paper with me, and create a little mini story. It'd be an excuse to use the computer, get better with software X, make concept art, etc.
I'm not lookin' for free work from anyone. I'm going to tackle this once I get some time (within 2-3 months if things go well), I just thought I'd ask and see if anyone glares at the 3d grid in _____________ and sighs, wishing they had something to model, texture, and animate.
It's 2047.
In late 2010, Russian subs discovered immense oil fields under the north pole. At first, claims were reasonable. Each country had their own land to drill, and profits were high. Some time in 2024, a war broke out. An unidentified country attacked the fields, destroying refineries and making foes out of governments once friendly to one another.
Drastic actions were taken. Billions of dollars were dropped into military funds. Machines once regarded as fantasy were developed to defend the fields.
...
So the designs I need to come up with will be arctic based, obviously "futuristic", based on current designs of snowmobiles, plows, drills, mechwarriors, turrets, the whole nine.
No rush. Reply here or shoot me a PM.
