The Windsword

[Starhawk]

Well ladies and gentlemen this is my first textured craft from the new Terrenesi shipset it's technical name is the "wind sword" but for purposes of this game it'll probobly be a small fighter.

Now before you look at the pic note that the Terrenesi are a practical race and go for simplicity in design which is what i was going for when I designed this fighter. What you cant see is it's chin mounted gun and it's under wing missile racks though I'm sad to say in this screenie.

Glad you like it...what do you guys think about the color scheme is it good enough or should I go back in and try to repaint it?

And I just finished texturing the Terrenesi escort (though it was originally a frigate by my stats) so I will post up pics of that shortly.

It might be a little dark, thus hard to see in-game. Especially if the minis are that dark, as those are the pictures you see most of the time.

[Starhawk]

Hmmm so I should brighten up the reds and change the black into another color perhaps?

Maybe a gold and blue?

Well anyway here is the Escort which is meant to be kind of ugly http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif :

i like the gold and blue.

[Starhawk]

Cool So do I.

What do you guys think about the escort colorscheme?

*takes a deep breath and dives right in*

well, you said you where aiming for ugly, and ugly-techno is what you got, so if that's what you want, you did a good job of it.

[Starhawk]

Well i mean the design is supposed to be a little ugly not the paint job http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif ah well.

My frigate and destroyers have the same paint job guess I'll need to fix that http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Yummy http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

I like both colorschemes as artwork.
However, for the set (if it will be a set) to play well it is important with consistency and that the colors are clearly visible against a black background. The idea with a symbol on top of the ship is cool, but to be able to spot the arrow (in the game) it has to be a much stronger yellow.

[Starhawk]

Well I'm gonna probobly make a complete color refit on it....I just wish I had the texturing stuff to make a shimmering gold instead of that dull yellow.

Meh better to know it's ugly now and replace the colors then wait for the shipset to be made and no one to download eh?
