Netharis' Ships and... stuff.

[Netharis]

Well, I'll just leave this here.
Big-ship-attempt 02.

Again, the final shape is more or less in place. Just need to finalize the section work and add glows.

Feel free to comment guys, I'd like some constructive criticism.
I promise I won't bite (much).

[Chiiro]

I really really really love the shape of that thing. My only gripe is I think the curved wing-things might have looked better... not curved? Something that's worth thinking about, IMO.

[Netharis]

@Chiiro,
Hmm... Here's how I interpreted the general shape with it having not (well, less) curved wings.
Is this close to what you had in mind?

I didn't make the completely straight because I wanted them to sort of fit into the inner curve of the next layer out.

EDIT: I think the elongated innermost wings look a bit odd, so here's a version with them trimmed down:

[Necrontyr1998]

I think I prefer the curved design personally.

[Anna]

Curved is way better, and looks great imo.

[Netharis]

Thanks for the comments, everyone.
Since the majority (myself included) prefer it curved we'll be going with that.

If anything, it's meant to be in the same faction as my first two ships.
This ship was an experiment in applying what I learnt from observing others' large ships.
Namely, keep the lightly shaded areas of sprites facing the same direction (alternatively, cover that area). The real mystery is how I didn't realize that in the first place...

[Netharis]

Some small ships.

Not sure if it's just me, but that ship looks TOO big for my taste. I like the little ones though.

[Netharis]

I didn't think such a preference was possible.
You know what this situation demands?
Even smaller ships!

I'll glow up both sets of small ships eventually.
At the moment I'm trying to figure out how to make a large ship for the scavenger faction (green dudes) considering how I've gone asymmetrical with their ships. Might be a while (and a bunch of other ships) till that's done, though.

[Necrontyr1998]

You've basically got three rather nice fighterbay sprites there too. Also the blue one of the larger ships kinda looks like one of Anna fighter sprites.
I especially like the way your going about the asymmetric green ones.

[Netharis]

Wew. Exams are almost over!
That being said, here are some things I threw together while taking breaks.

Current state of the green-faction's large ship. Considering my plan to have it around the same size as the other two... Yeah. This could take awhile...

As always, C&C is welcome.

[Netharis]

Extended and glowed up one ship and simply glowed up another two:

Hmm... I might make this one a little brighter.

C&C Welcome.

That third one <3
Although I think it could benefit from just a tiny splash more of SS windows or Runes. #ClicheGlows

[Necrontyr1998]

I just love those stock shield/glows! The third ship kinda looks like a Moir ship.

[Netharis]

I've found a way to deal with my school's wonky wifi!

@Doogie,
Not SS windows nor runes, but I think it works towards the same effect.
I dub this ship "Thunder." Feel free to steal it.

I think it turned out quite nicely. Though, heavy decal-ing isn't technically within the faction's style.

@Necrontyr,
Now that you mention it...
That's probably only in terms of general shape and the colour scheme, though. They share almost nothing in common in terms of sectionwork.

Anyway, glowed up another one:

It does look a bit plain compared to the thunder. I might consider changing up the faction's style a bit.

And messed with colours and Dst sections:

Just messing with colours; tried purple and orange for this one because that was the colour scheme of my old ships.

Dst-attempt 01:
Following my big-ship-attempt and asymmetry-attempt I figured, "why limit myself to ship dimensions?"
I chose Dst sections because I'm still sorta familiar with them, having used at least some in most of my ships.

Again, C&c is welcome.
