Much, much better, but also think that the light (traditionally for SS) comes from the above but to front and ever so slightly left of the ship, not just overhead.

Second, the front head of the ship (around the CIC) could use some AA on the outside edge. It still looks visibly jaggy there.

Man, when you post stuff up for critiques, prepare for them never to be perfect

Exactly, I have been nitpicked plenty by various guys here...

I made a carrier based on the silhouette of the condor :


What do you guys think?

[WKOB]

The main hull is pretty decent, but the deck needs more going on. The lanes themselves look fine and I like the design, but I think it's just too many lanes. Maybe extend the hull down the lane along the area with the small turrets.

Also, the drop-off between the hull and deck isn't very clear, the lighting is too soft and similarly colored to the hull that it looks more like a ramp than a glow.

With some other peoples criticisms to cover other points, I'd say your style has potential once it's cleaned up and extended upon.

[Lcu]

Alright, i changed the hangar lights to yellow, atleast i found a faster way to do it, rather than pixel by pixel  .

[WKOB]

Yeah, I'd say that really helps with the criticisms I gave you! Good stuff.

Hopefully some of the really competent artists will come by with some advice for you soon.

I think the weakest part of your ship isn't the shading or the deck, but the general shape that look way too much like a cardboard silhouette. It need more accident and variations:

Even if the deck is cut in straight lines, there are many antennas, light poles, turrets, catwalk, etc pointing out (most obvious on the right).

I posted a link to a small tool that can help with that: http://fractalsoftworks.com/forum/index.php?topic=8774
It can be very useful for novices and veterans alike.

The silhouette looks boring to me, you should add some details and make it interesting... like antennas, lights nor greebles along the borderlines or so. Get what I meant? Also, as for the runways! Add some lights to it! Like this! http://i.ytimg.com/vi/hdDHVqT226I/maxresdefault.jpg

...and here's my first space... astronaut? space captain? ship crew? gahh, whatever. There are two light sources, they're from the right and above. The shadings somehow doesn't feel right to me, please comment.

Looks badass, i think those are the EVA crew that fixes your disabled weapons.

Okay, trying different color schemes, which one do you guys think suits the best?

Yep, this one looks much better and stands out more than others imo. Great work!



Here's the final version.

Here's the final version.

Why do you keep using purple hair? Your faction's color scheme seems to be red and black.
