~Archalieus Shipyards~ - Rusty

Archives for ships and fleets. 'nuff said. Most of the ships here are very very old and will not work in current versions of BSF or SM. You have been warned!

i love the glowy engine core bits they are really well done, but where they stick out at the back just seems odd and I don't think the decals should be the same colour as the cores or the colour scheme should be changed or something, but I love the antenna at the front really well done and the section work depthing and doodading is excellent.

Back for now, I guess. I hope my skills haven't rusted out completely... like this ship :wink: .

Unanimated version.

Not really an animation per se, just some doodads. Sorry to disappoint...

Your skills haven't rusted. I might even go so far as to say that this is an improvement.

I find very little to critique except the glow error in the aft starboard. I would also say that the dorsal yellow doodads are a bit strong.

I really like the color scheme and use of grunge sprites. The rest; flow, section usage, depthing, all up to the standard of your previous work.

I can't wait to see it animated.

Liking the camo-style colour scheme. Really the only problem is that the entire ship uses practically the same shade of green. Maybe you could colour the two outer sections in the same tan colour you used for the middle. Or you could try streaking the tan colour across the ship, imitating a real camo-style

The glowy piece seems very out of place with this style...

The glowy part is fine, it's just that there's practically nothing in front of the glowy part that's out of place. The front looks really blocky, which messes with the sloping wings at the back

Ok here's the thing I feel with your ships. They usually have fantastic concepts and all but the internal work is just.. kinda random at times. The section usage itself isn't really at all that bad. If anything, it's pretty good in places but you've got shapes going in all sorts of directions and really, too much. I feel the darker gray back area of the latest ship would look much better if you didn't have all the mecha sections creating lines going all over the place and overlapping as it creates kinda a vague area. My eyes can really take in only so much detail.
At least, that's what I think on most your ships.

Also, it might help to do something about the monotone. Totally gray ships can become somewhat bland.
