A little something I'm working on.

I'd like to hear what you guys think about it.

I actually have to say thats a step down from your usual work. The ship seems to get worse as you move away from the center. There is also a bit of clutter.

Well I'm experimenting with prongs on this one. Probably looks worse away from the center because -as you all know I suck at anything larger than a midget ship- I was trying to make it larger forcefully. Thanks for the comment, will keep at it.

EDIT: Messed with it a little bit.

Improvement?

The sides consisting of interchanging cylindrical patterns are a definite improvement. This pattern looks striking, even though it is repetition.

I spot good section usage that results in 'flowing' from the front to back of the ship.

The ship has some slight sense of depth due to the brighter center, but see if you can accentuate the depth of the extremities as well. Start with minor adjustments for now and see where that takes you to get that near/far feel (which has already been partially achieved by your section usage and overall ship layout).

I'd have to agree, other than the bridge the ships seems flat-ish, but other than that I'm lovin it.
The shape is appealing and looks combat effective; the engine sections are great and I'm hooked on the color scheme.

waiting for more

Giving those wings a sense of depth would greatly improve it. Maybe leave the lower parts dark but make those squares lighter?

Added depth to the wings,

Working on trying to build another smaller ship in the same style.

Ah I see the difference between this and the last now, took me awhile, as there is only a few sections difference.
I think lighter means from around (127,127,127) bring it up to around (200,200,200)

(R,G,B)

Basically make em light grey rather than just grey, cause as it stands the ship seems like it looks like a triangle from the front, with the core area at the peak and the wings at the bottom.

that may be the shape your going for but it does look boring a fair bit like that.

Other than that i really like this ship. good use of sections and colors, (just the shadings off).

Anyway keep it up with this style its really good.
