Gri'ortis Me'kia Fighter ship.

Post by Saint Jamez911 »

I just wanted to see if the color scheme was good, it looks a little off... But it kinda looks good, but im taking any suggestions. I havent placed weapons yet (as you can tell in the image below.) im also taking suggestions on that also.

May i present the Gri'ortis Me'kia

This ship is utterly horrible.
It looks frail and the colors are bad too. There is a lot of repetition of pieces.
Just delete this ship.

I'm afraid I can't be sure yet, but I think my eyeballs just vomited, then imploded.This ship looks like you slapped it together in about five minutes, including time spent coloring.
The front with the core is incredibly vulnerable to weapon fire

Deleting it is out of the question, yours eyes can puke all they want. I just wanted suggestions on color and weapons placement.

The engines are really bad. Not sure where to start with them.
It's too frail looking and the color choice is bad as well.

To be fair, it's not very good methinks. I think it would be better with something in the way of a rust brown/copper color, but now it looks...bad. It's also a bit frail, as others have said, and I don't like the repetition in the central part.

I like the general outline. It would be better if the core were moved back into the main body and the wings were better connected. It also looks messy in spots and the repitition is bad.

Better. But to be fair the ship's shape and section use aren't very appealing altogether. It's a bit...amateuristic, to be bold.

EDIT; the core is also WAY too far to the front.

I totally re-made the wings and i tryed to keep the same shape as best as posible. I will try moving the core back as best as possible.

Was referring to the wings because it looks like a Klingon Cruiser from Startrek.

You could probably use less pieces and theres some layering issues that would improve the look as well...
As for coloring I don't care for too many of the colors so I usually go with that grey + highlights of the fleet colors...
As for weapons, obviously there will be either beams or demeters on the wings depending on whether its a carrier or attack ship. Tthe neck is prime realistate for a spinal cannon. Perhaps missles or sidewinders on the wing struts?
I see what your trying to do, and I also see why the others are calling it bad. However I'm not sure what your actually capable of, so no amount of bashing will make it better if thats the best you can do.
