Is that a flying iceberg?

That ship is called Notus and was made by bobbtmann.

I submit, memories of that mission beyond the second knossos.
Dive dive dive etc.

I thought it would look cool in red. :)

Sure it does. But I did something similar to PVD_Hope some years ago... I called it "Lost"...
"in the Future".

Oho, that's slick! Nice entry! :cool:
"Lost in the Future" huh? A long-dead project?
-
I'm still working on it sometimes, and I hope I'll finish LITF someday, but it's a long road - yet the setting and story is something new to FS. :cool:

You probably want to embed your image in the post rather than attaching it, since attachments are deleted after a few months.

Sounds cool, I'd like to see that someday! :yes:

"Dear Aken,
I received your message, and I'm soooo happy that you're interested in inter-species relations. So I ask you:
Do you want to be my Valentine?
-Carl(a?) <3
P.S. I'm a bit... shy... hope you don't mind if I bring some friends to our date~
P.S. P.S. Would you like to watch the firework at Capella with me?"

It's quite romantic for me.
Heh... But maybe if shivan destroyers are romantic for me, perhaps there is something wrong with me :P

Remember there's still Carlas message, don't know if she got happy with Bosch- just in case you want to reply. :p

Literally 30 seconds before the end of February in my time zone.

It's got my vote... if I had one.

Bomb3rman, you are definitely not playing enough JAD. :p

Sadly I don't have enough time right now :mad: But I will, someday ;)

Sigh, I've been trying to put this off because as usual, you guys make this too hard.
I think I'm going to have to go with this Shivan Family Portrait by Nightmare. The Vassago pic by Techno and the JAD pic by PIe were also pretty nice (and not just because they're my campaigns (okay maybe a bit!).

I just want to post some critiques and words of encouragement to help you guys take some better pictures. They're always good, but sometimes there's just a few things that could really make some of these pic even better.
One thing I always like to look for is originality. I liked this month's winner because it was different from before, it had work put into the composition and setup. It always brings a smile to my face when I see that little bit of creativity behind it everything.
Another thing that influences me is superb lighting. Nightmare's first entry was certainly red, but the ship it was meant to be showcasing was entirely black, I couldn't make out what it was! The Vassago pic was dark, but it had just enough lighting to make out the shape of the ship (and the bloom it was giving off helped give off a certain sinister presence).
On the other side of things, tomimaki's entry of a Rakshasa firing a beam is very striking, but it was a bit washed out. I know sometimes you're fighting various effects going off that do that sometimes, and it can look cool in motion, but as a static screenshot it loses some of that pop you get with good contrast. (I did really like it though!)
And just in general I like well composed pictures where you have a good view of the object that's pleasing to the eye. Check out some photography composition articles (https://digital-photography-school.com/digital-photography-composition-tips/) to get a feel how the pros do it.
Keep up the good work and please continue to make the end of the month miserable for me as I try and pick just one entry.

Now you mentioned this... yeah, I see washed colors.
I shouldn't post when I am tired. :P
