TSA's Thread

Hey,

It's been a while. Anything happen while I was gone?
This is my first ship in a long time so I didn't know if I'd still have my mojo.

The brief I gave myself for this ship was pretty simple, a ship that looked like one of those ridiculous fantasy swords you find on the internet.
I only had a vague idea of what I wanted so in the event it didn't turn out quite how I imagined.

The more observant of you may notice that the majority of sections used here are not from the Uraki_SW pack. These are in fact the pre-Shipwrightizator versions, all hand shipwrighted but never released. The look of them is slightly different.

Anyway see what you think. Ladies and Gents, I give you the Heartrender.

And some unifinished alternates

TSA

Kewl. I like the new curved look to your ships. I really don't know where you get your inspiration but I'd like to know.
The sections around frontal blue energy ball(?) don't quite flow together at the tops of the circle (if that makes any sense). Otherwise, awesome.

The jagged edges near the front of the ship don't really go with the other, smooth external contours of the ship. Consider changing this.

Otherwise, this is absolutely gorgeous. I wish you'd release these as a pack. The sections look great.

I dunno. I don't mind the jagged edges too much. Anyway, it's good to see you back, TSA. Fairly nice design there. Certainly interesting.

Absolutely loving the curves on the ship. Heartrending indeed. I can see very well why you won the HS award so quickly. The only nitpick I have are the three prongs on the back of the ship that jut out too much.

And does the center-front area rotate?

I have to agree on that. It stands out and doesn't flow that well with the "curve" theme, but I think a bit of mixing is alright.
