Well, this is a work in progress. None of the centre has been done yet, which I plan to house the bridge, engines, and a large central cannon.
I am happy with the overall shape the ship is turning into. It may not be the most original thing ever, but at least it isn't a penisbrick.
I do, as you can see, have some issues with depth colouring. It's not something I've ever attempted before, and I just tried to do it in varying shades of dark blue. (The fleet colour).
However, it being a first go and all, I haven't done it that brilliantly. There are 4 shades of blue in there, they're just not altogether obvious.
Any suggestions? Depthing colour suggestions especially. I know it ain't the best (half of a) ship in the world, but I am willing to hear and learn!
WIP, need suggestions particularly viz. depth colouring.

i'd do it like this, outer hull-darkest,plating-from darkest to lighter(closer to the middle is lighter) and elevated structures like a bridger or maybe a weapons platform are lightest, as they are ''closer'' to the ''camera'' .
Nothing is forever. It can't be. 'Cause everyone changes.
Whether they want to or not, they need to change. Myself... Even you!

Yes thanks I am aware of that, but it is not always easy to decide what is deeper than what, particularly when you are used to designing ships in 2D.Cycerin wrote:The deeper something is on your ship, the less bright it will be. Things that are supposed to be underneath something should be darker than what's above it. This isn't really complex, is it?
