Also there arn't enough shades of grey, Inverse shading can work in places, my Corvettes I place up ages ago were rather inverse in parts.
Sometimes it works and other times it doesn't.
I think this is the latter case.
This ship would be improved by being symmetrical probably, as your style screams out to be symmetrical.
But with this one at least you have two different ships you can break off of this. =P

That's what I kind of felt too, when I first tried asymmetry . I appreciate the comments!Kiltric wrote:I think the problem is that the main piece is fairly symmetric. It doesn't look like it was built to have the struts to the other section, more like it was just stuck on.
@ Cycerin
I remember that Arcalane said something about shading, that the sections get darker as you approach the rim of the ship. Or am I mistaken?
Thats right. i think whats throwing them off is that you've got white sections on the edge lower than the dark sections. The majority of that ship could be midtone grey, with the outer pieces dark grey, maybe the outrigger too. Then the middle and highlights of teh ship could be white. then you use the green or whateer fleet color you want in highlights through the ship

Ah, I think I need to take highlights into more consideration with shading.Raul wrote:Thats right. i think whats throwing them off is that you've got white sections on the edge lower than the dark sections.

Let me try with a higher shading difference, then.Arcalane wrote:Yes, but you've got bright on the outside and core, and the center parts are all quite dark.
