I liked your "failures" better. Don't call them that. If those are "failures", then what are mine???
The Meta ships look sorta... dull? Compared to your top ships, that is. You have a style, but I think that your "alien" ship is too similar to the other ones. You should come up with a certain style and color scheme for each faction/race. Apparently, in the Meta your signature is blue, so for the aliens you need something different. I usually spend awhile on the drawing board figuring out how to build ships that are in different styles. The thing is--the end result isn't as pretty as yours...

If admirals hate and trash your ships,
If you can't get it right;
Then off you go, but don't call quits;
Just go make custom sprites.

EDIT: Apologies, I'll keep that in mind in the future.
I'd have to agree with Swordsman, opposing sides should seem obviously opposing; and that your meta ships seem to be sub-forms of your other works. I'm not protesting as to their worth, they still are great ships but after being given a whole cake it's hard to be content with a slice.

And so I curiously venture into the world of shipbuilding, unsure of what I might find...

InkFox, buddy, you're still relatively new here so I'm gonna be chill about this, and I'm not gonna rip off your balls and stuff them down your throat or whatever. One-line posts, especially worthless "me too!" posts, are just not on. Don't do it. It's spam, and it's a waste of everyone's time. Use your own words instead of copying a quote and saying "I agree". Thanks.

Re: Recent Fails, little progress dump.
One thing I've always wanted to ask. How did you get those ultra-sexy glows on the back? I've never really figured it out, and I'm extremely envious.Grasmaaier wrote:

My suggestion? The glows are too soft and make the ship a bit TOO cluttered. Try amping up the boosters and tuning down the doodads. You may want to provide some macro contrast, which is contrast in different areas of the ship rather than micro contrast, which is contrast with different sections.
