Can you teach me this speed painting as well?
Really dig the style and looks!

Hmm.  Maybe I can find some time to document this?  It's really pretty easy, and faster than the method I used before (scanned line drawings).  I'll see what I can do.

Anyhow, got bored last night, built a Phase Sub.  The AI and some other details I wanted haven't quite worked out yet, but it'll come together.

Behold the Nautilus:

id also be interested in learning that.

[xenoargh]

I'll see what I can do :-)

[IceXuick]

Nice sub - it has an awesome feel to it!

I hope you can tell us something about that speed painting?
Thanks in advance!

[Silver Silence]

I don't think this was the correct thought to invoke, but the (presumably) phase sinks across the center of the hull make it look like the tentacle of an octopus....


Some ships I'd love to get into starfarer, ships.

The Magister.  Subject of my tutorial, which I'm almost done writing, about how to speed-paint original ships from scratch.

That's some very nice ship there xeno, especially the Nautilus, i like the color. (BTW, some of your pics aren't working anymore)

I'm pretty sure i saw some similar looking ships sprites on the forum. Can't find them though. I think they were done by Erick Doe, you could ask him, just in case.

i cant wait 

[NITROtbomb]

ok fixed it myself, sure took a lot of time... perhaps will try to use the speed paint way of doing things

[xenoargh]

I think that would probably help you a lot to try and do the whole tutorial- I can see some great ideas there that didn't quite come together, but that's what learning is all about

The main issue with the sprite is that it all feels extremely flat; you need to get the major shading that builds your forms done before you start adding details.  From the looks of things, you've gone about it the other way around.  Don't worry, that's something a lot of people have issues with and you'll get a lot better if you keep trying

[NITROtbomb]

yea i alway thought it was grebling/ details first then shading+depth (even though the latter i could not do) so yep when i have the time your tutorial is first on the list

I cannot describe my love of that design. Not only does it look visually beautiful, where the lines are crisp, and the colour choice briliant. But it is the fact that it looks like it was designed with practical uses and limitations take it to a whole new level.

[xenoargh]

Glad you like it.  Personally, I'll be more happy when it operates like I want it to, which it doesn't... yet.

Haven't made any new Glaug stuff lately... so here's the Swimmer.  I am pretty happy with this one; check it out against a dark background

Behold the Nautilus:

I really hope all those things are missile silos

[xenoargh]

They are, but the ship doesn't quite work like I want it to, yet.

[TheHappyFace]

so havent created a ship in a long time.
thought about doing a quick kitbash to warm up.

Now I am curious if anyone can make up from what ship the biggest part is from.

ps. SPOILERS!
