Commission For (Custom) Open D6 Space Sheet

I am looking for a custom character sheet to play Open D6 Space. So far I've checked out the available options, but none of the D6 sheets seem to work very well and / or are not very attractive to look at. Not sure if that's an argument I could make, but so far I've played D&D 5e, Call Of Cthulhu 7e and Numenera and they all have wonderful sheets. Something like that for Open D6 Space would be great.  The only closest sheet that looks the part and seems to work reasonably well is the Star Wars 30th Anniversary sheet (also D6) but it's purposed for Star Wars and lacks some options like exploding dice, etc. This sheet does resemble the most of what I'm looking for out of all the available D6 sheets.  I was wondering if anyone is interested in a commission for a fair price to make a custom Open D6 Space sheet much like that Star Wars 30th Anniversary sheet. The system itself is fairly simple, and not much needs to be automated except for some skill and weapon rolls. Perhaps the Star Wars sheet could even be used as a starting template?  Just curious to see if anyone is willing / interested to help out on such a thing.

Making a good D6 Adventure/Fantasy/Space sheet have been long on my todo-list, but haven't really had the time. The Star Wars D6 sheet in it's current for is mostly my doing, it looked/functioned like the other D6 sheets when I started making changes to it. I've learned a lot about creating sheet lately, and haven't had the time to apply myself on the Star Wars D6 sheet either, as it i's in need of a revamp in a couple of places. If I find the time in a couple of months, I might pick up on this. I would reuse some of the code from the black Star Wars D6 sheet. I'd suggest you tell what the features you're looking for in this improved D6 Space sheet is, and what would/should be different from the existing sheet, other that looks. What's your main problems with the existing sheet? Are you looking for more features/customization, or just a better layout?
Thanks for the reply. I'm currently deciding which system to use for my sci-fi campaign and Open D6 Space is highest on my list, except for the lacking Roll20 sheet. Could a reasonable offer on a commission for the sheet perhaps persuade you to make something sooner? I'm quite serious about the campaign and I think it's only fair to offer something for someone's time if they can help me out with something I have no skill in. My main issues are (Taking the Open D6 Space as example) 1. Entering the number of dice for skills occasionally doesn't work. It doesn't allow you to enter a number there.  2. Would be nice to be able to change attribute names, just for increased customization. 3. There is a field for weapons to enter damage dice and pips, but no roll button. Seems like that would be easy to add and convenient during sessions. 4. I know too little about the game system yet to be sure, but it seems like the body points range and wound level could use some fine-tuning. 5. Like I said before, the look of the Star Wars 30th Anniversary sheet is perfect. I think in design it's very clean and aside from the Star Wars logo very setting neutral. 6. Star Wars 30th Anniversary I think would be a great blueprint to edit / expand into a working Open D6 Space sheet. It currently lacks options for exploding dice and it would be nice to have custom skill names. Other than that character and fate points and I think it's nearly there. If looking at the Star Wars sheet you made for the West End edition, it's functionality is nice, though I prefer the design of the 30th Anniversary. Aside from that, this sheet has too much Star Wars specific elements to be used for Open D6 Space. Maybe it could be done, but it's not ideal. Let me know if maybe we could work something out in the short term.

There exists a character sheet for it, the name for it is "D6 Space", it's in the dropdown menu. It might not be the greatest sheet, but it should be usable.
Yes, I know. That is the sheet about which I was talking in my previous post, commenting with numbers 1 to 4. This sheet doesn't work properly. At least not consistently it seems.
