Eh, i'm glad you're back Makina, i was sad when i wasn't seeing your overgreebled ships on the thread anymore!

For this one, the ship seems a bit too flat. Not too shocking on the rear but much more on the front. I like the central bridge though.

So, here is a ship that I have been working on for a little while. I had a previous version, but it was made with a smaller color selection, so I remade it as shown. Any critique? I'm not sure if it should have more greebling, but I am getting the feeling that that might be a nice touch. It may be hard to do, however, considering the way I styled the ship.

Ultimatum: I think the Magnorock would benefit from some additional work on the form, in that the light and shade should be stronger. Try picking a light source (slightly in front would be typical, against the general vanilla style) and building up some highlights / lowlights to try and make the shape pop a little more.

Here we are, Wirlpool so had the right in its cure of... greebling ? In any case, it changed.

And I tried to improve Magellanic Clouds to make it a little less flat. I am not sure of the result.

I'm a bit surprised by the flat "stain" at the front of the ship, here:



Still, much better than the previous one.

For the Wirlpool (or whirlpool?), the Atlas containers looks a bit weird compared to your usual style. Not very shocking though.

Ultimatum, as Mendonca said, it's more about shading than greebling for this one. I think it would also greatly benefit from animated lights and stuffs.

DestinyPlayer, i really like the smooth armor on the rear/sides but not too much the bridge and the two guns. The engine parts looks a bit flat too. I think your ship would look much better if you try the curvy aesthetic for the whole hull rather than just the armor.

More PACK tweaks:





De-noising the Shar-pei, and adding some form to the BRT ... think they are much improved, still see some areas to work on.

(really need to add some dec-weapon sparks 'tween the forks of the shar-pei ...)

It's even older than that.  The Spirit of Gamilon was designed way, way back, in 1978.  When I was a kid, I built a model of this ship; not knowing much about anime then, I presumed it was a hero ship (which, in its way, it is; the design's so iconic that it's showed up in about as many movies as the Yamato I has).  So, to me, it's  a hero ship :) 

About the only feature I don't think I can replicate without major issues are the "guided lasers" of the Yamato series, but tbh, I always thought they were silly-looking anyhow.

Not sure what I'll do with it; the design's unique-enough that I'll probably create some sort of mercenary / bounty-hunter faction that hunts down players occasionally, and use this thing as one of their flagships :)

Yeah those red variants are quite a bunch of ugly mofos, a face only a mom could love.



Speaking of mom...

I really wasn't satisfied with those capital variants, that's why i only made the Monster and the Yak (not really satisfied with this one, will very likely rework it) and didn't bothered with the green and yellow variants.

Those are amazing!

In terms of appearance, the green ones are the best. I agree with you on the capital variants though, the Yak feels rather plain.

So... this is my first attempt in a while at drawing from scratch. This is the base outline and shading that I'll be putting details on top of. Help? (I'm not very good at this :P)





This is what I'm going for:
Spoiler
The hull is composed of large flat plates. The bottom lighter section is a slightly raised tower with sloping sides. The front section is lower, has a flat top in the middle and sloped on the sides. The 'wings' are lower still, and have a horizontal crease about halfway through where it is sloped differently on each side. I'm not very happy with the wings

Working on a new ship right now. For now it looks something like that.
