Need a graphic designer; For a diagram I want to use in an RP eventually

I need someone to make a 1000 seat hemispherical Parliament diagram. It needs to be so that each seat can be colored in.

Something like this-

Depending on future needs, I may eventually also need a 200 seat diagram (that looks different from the 1000 seat Parliament one), in case I decide on a bicameral Parliament.

Something like this isn't difficult to do, merely time consuming. Shape the image of the hollow blank seat (What you color in,) line them perfectly with one another on a digital rotational string and copy them row by row, align them pixel by pixel, rotating them one by one until the desired number is achieved. Since we're talking exactly 1000 seats, its childs play.

I suppose I could tackle it. How soon do you need it and is there a particular shape/icon you wish the seats to resemble or just fillable bubbles?

I don't need it particularly soon, but all the same, as soon as you can get it to me would be good. And no particular shape for the bubbles is necessary.

All right. I'll get the preliminaries done tonight and work on the rest this week. I'll also experiment with some icon shapes.

If Kybelis or some other unforeseen event doesn't sap my time it should be done by the weekend.

This was started ages ago, but I did give my word I would finish- and late is better than never. With so many changes to my domestic life I won't be nearly as active as I would like to be and thus it will probably be one of my last few gigs as the forums goto-guy for these kinda things. With that having been said, Huesca (I believe his name has changed again) is a great graphics designer that supersedes my capabilities in every respect and I am sure for a little Quid pro quo will take up a project.

In any case, I finished the project only recently when I had free time and intended to revisit the memories of this forum. I recalled you needed a 1000 seat parliament arranged in a half-torus, so I present to you the first version I created (link) and also another that has been darkened to add further contrast between the background and foreground dots (link). I was going to add stylized dots as opposed to a solid color dot, but realized you only use MSPaint and not Gimp, so decided against it.

In any case, I hope its to your standards.

Regards,

Those look very nice; I think that the contrast in the second one makes it easier to focus on the foreground, but the background itself looks better in the first one.
