hey guys, I was away for a while but I'm back!
Gotta get used to SM again but here's a little ship.

Second ship, inspired by sharks.

i'm sorry...i've never met you. My name's Doogie

ok fun time over

as for the ships. well they are pretty good, nice and spiky. I'm not sure i like the nose on the second ship though. I do like your use of glows and spikyness.
nice, solid ships.

Some clutter along the central ridge of the ships, but the TSA wings are very well done. The second one's engines are a bit bland.

I think they're beautiful.
Especally the first one.
Keep making more!

For what its worth, i missed you. Then again, i miss everyone who has made pretty ships...

But honestly, just 4 hours? Give it more time, this is a small community.

As for the ships, very nice as usual. Loving the subtle shading/coloring and the intricate details.

Mandatory critique: wings are nice, but they look like an afterthought; do not match the rest, especially on the second ship.

Hey folks, this is the last ship I post here before I start on making a new race, which will be something completely different.

There's a pleasing coherence and solidity to these ships, depth shading and glows are nicely done. 2nd one is probably my favourite design, I like the punchy and brutal nose, but paradoxically is the least well implemented of the 3 because the busy hull section doesn't match the wings.

Kae is probably right about the wings, they look slightly 'divorced' from the hulls, as though they actually should belong to other ships, the third one is probably the most successful in this regard. Although the ship itself reminds me of Big Ben.

I'm also not a fan of the busyness - it seems to be busy for busyness sake rather than suggesting actual distinct parts on the ship.

Overall positive, however.
