I just don't understand how you people make awesome ships. *sigh*
Criticism please.

my only criticism is that it seems like you keep trying to copy other people's ships. get your own style.

They're not bad. Last one is was too glowy. First one is better. I suggest you try to use glows more as accents and less as design elements, at least until you get a bit better with sectionwork. That said, limit yourself to just a couple of glow colors. It's like a Skittles ship. Taste the Rainbow.

Oh dear, these things look like christmas trees. Cut down on the glows and don't try to copy a style: make some ships in your own style first and work from there. Try to evolve your own style around those as a basis.

QFT. Less of the glows, and just concentrate on the actual designing. I dare say that first ship might be overusing the mecha sections... there's a vast number of sections at your disposal, so use them!

So, no Christmas lights this time. I think less glows. I'm pretty sure I'm not copying anybody. Just one glow color. I just didn't follow Arc's advice not to use Mecha's though, sorry.

Is it just me, or is that last picture not loading?

I decided to make a fleet with my last ship. So far it is called the dark fleet.

Glows and dark hull colours do not a good fleet make.

hmm, take the bottom ship there, and make a bigger more detailed and less darker version, and you have something!

Actually,I think he may have nailed the darkness,still dark but not too much.

However I'd really try for something more than just 'dark fleet'.

Alright. Then I'll try for the 'very dark fleet'. JK.

I added more detail to one of my ships. I'm gonna make it less darker as well. What do you guys think of it?

Veronw · Post by **Veronw** » Mon Jul 13, 2009 5:12 am

Wrong ship to try fixing up, but thats just my personal opinion. The details you added don't really seem to improve the way the ship looks, especially where you added the large bar-like sections onto the wings..

I'm really impressed by the use of the glows here. And its not really that dark, I like the colour.
