relax... I was talking about the troop transport ;D

I love the Valkyrie's design- I endlessly collect kitbashed versions of it that are designed to be more combat-capable. The ship definitely deserves more recognition and combat abilities in the vanilla game...


3D Sketches of all the vanilla ships in the final game pl0x, would make visualizing the ships a lot easier in many people's heads <3

I'm really impressed with the art style here -- very atmospheric. I'm not an artist and the actual terms aren't in my vocabulary, but this sort of art definitely adds to my immersion and enjoyment. Can't wait to see the final results in the game.

Actually, out of curiosity will we be able to mod in dialogue pictures like these?  Davids work has given my stupid brain some ideas.

Enjoyed the art -- I like the aesthetic present in both your design and style; will definitely add a bit more diversity to the world.

40 artist-hours for the first one, could maybe get it down to 10-20 artist-hours

This begs the question, what's the conversion rate of artist-hours into man-hours?

The desert scape building shilouette reminds me of Moais.  Not sure if that was intended, but cool effect nontheless :)

Ha, I'm glad to hear I'm not the only person on whom Quake 2's art made a weirdly indelible impression.

Still probably my favorite skybox from any of the old shooters (or any newer shooter, for that matter).

Hey, Welcome to the forums 23kulpamens!

David doesn't get on the forums much (mainly because he also is the lead artist for Gaslamp Games) so it is entirely possible that he hasn't seen your message yet, and when he does I am fairly certain that he will more than likely reply. :)

"Necroing": Posting in very old threads is OK only if you have something very substantial to add to the topic, maybe because the situation has changed or there are new information available. Otherwise, please refrain from posting. Or open a new thread instead. :D

That being said welcome to the forms and have fun! :)
