Ian's novelties.

Well, my first novelty is my first attempt to try blending stock sections with SWA sections. And I think I epicly failed with my Icicle. More ships coming soon.

What do you think?

For one thing I think someone is shortly going to say that you should crop your screenshots before posting them so we don't have to be distracted by the whole BSF GUI, but in a much meaner way.

Crop your screenshots before posting them so we don't have to be distracted by the whole BSF GUI, for fuck's sake. Goddammit.

FIXED

The ship itself looks okay to me, except very flat.

Press g and wait for the text to go away next time.

It could be much worse, at least he used PNG, lots of people seem to think that using JPEG is an appropriate format for images where single pixel fidelity is important. Getting that right is worth some merit even if the ship itself isn't.

Changed the screenshot.

My depthing is still quite poor, sorry. Plus it's only my first try into the SWA sections.

The shape of the ship isn't bad, but the section selection is, I don't think SW and normal sprites mix too well.

So that justifies my epic fail, then.

Hm, I really thought stock BSF and Shipwrightized sections could go well in a way... guess not. A full-fledged Shipwrightized ship will be coming soon.

I'm pretty persistent with the blending Stock sections with Shipwrightized sections. But I kinda feel this is a cluttery mess.

You feel correctly. Your shade selection probably isn't helping here, and I think you're going to have trouble making this work if you just just mix the two style freely like this.

I think mixing the styles can work, but it requires some forethought. There's one on page 7 of my thread, although how successful it was not many people really said.

Honestly, I don't see how it can work. The two are just so distinctly different, so they don't match at all.

A cluttered mess it is.

As thanto said, the Shipwrightized
and the stock sections are made
to be different.
They are not made to be put together.
Also, many tone down on the
colors just a wee bit.

Aside from what other forumites have said about the mix of SW and normal sections, the ship exterior shape is not bad, the mix of alien and other SW'ized sections are spiffy, however it would look much better if you kept to either the older or newer styles.
