| Alex Scollay |
Alex Scollay is a former list member who made good. You can see
a sample of his 3D work for Farscape (!!!) on his page. He has
posted a
work in progress image of a Gubru Talon soldier's head. It's
been months since he's done any work on it, because he's been
busy freelancing since he left
Animal Logic.
He plans to finish the Gubru soon, and begin work on more
Uplift-related projects. |

Check in often, because he continually updates with some cool

Uplift". Nowadays, your best bet is probably
eBay |
| Stellar Region |
Gord and Kat's Brin-L RPG. It's not related to Uplift,
though -- It's their own creation! |
