Retsof's Ships

It just seems too... bland. The shape isn't bad per se, but some color, at the least, monochrome, should be thrown in.

The back of the ship just doesn't seem right. I think that the ship would look better if the back was larger.

Congrats! Youve been promoted to head designer for a car company! Now for your first design are you going to cover the car in tires? In axles? In bumpers? NO! Your going design something that uses the right parts for the right places.

Yeah, I haven't gotten around to color yet. As for the back, do you mean longer or wider?

if you make those front two sections darker i think they will blend nicely, i hope you have a fancy main gun planned for this platform and maybe some team colours would really set this off :)

Bleh, color is not my strong point. Went for orangeish because I like orange. Having a lot of trouble actually varrying the colors.

Sorry for not being clear. I meant that I thought that it would look better if it were wider at the base.

As for the color: Don't afraid to use monochrome in addition to your color! If your color isn't too saturated, it should work.

Tried for some variation. By the way, how many of these attachments can I post before I run out of server space?

that's actually looking pretty nice colour wise. i'd make the white sections at the back a bit darker, and possibly colour the sections with the forwards machine guns on them grey to make a coherent grey stripe along each side. just try stuff out to see what works best.

your server space is technically unlimited, although you can't upload files over a certain size (i believe) just uploading small shipmaker screenshots doesn't take up much space anyway

Nice colour scheme on the new armament, but somehow the blurred m-guns on the white engine parts look outta place... but in any case wise choices :)

Max filesize is 5 megabytes, and max attachments per post is 10. Th15 has set aside around four gigs total for attachments of all kinds. There's no limit per user. Just use common sense.

Thanks everyone. I'll try those color suggestions and see what happens. I was a bit unsatisfied with the Mgun placement, but they were kind of just slapped on there. They are blurred because they are at a slight angle to allow for both sides to fire at a forward target while still having a 180 firing arc.

Sorry I took so long, been playing a lot of Minecraft. Thoughts?
EDIT: Started on the new Seth. Uncolored and unweped, but what do you think of the body work?

that ship is...its EPIC! It has this perfect flow and sectionwork to it. The dark areas that look like internals with the lighter sections also positioned perfectly. It's simply a work of art.
