If I don't count as non-NW, I don't know who does.

Of course, I only go in there to post my stuff, and don't really look at anyone else's stuff unless I feel like insulting people's artistic abilities. But then, roughly the same goes for every other type of post I do.:D

Anyway: Not bad. I like the consistent color scheme. Though the sun's in the wrong place for that kind of lighting and the station is way too simplistic. Give it some lumpy things and some tubey things, and it'll be all right.

Well, I like it. Its simple yet it looks very good. Not everything needs to be complex to look good. Sometimes simple models are even better then complex ones.

:yes: Good job Riven! :D

Here's another in the early stages of development. Its a Shiane class Super Heavy Carrier and i think you'll agree it's big (look at the lights on the inside of the ring.

Good for a concept, but it definitely needs more realism. Spaceships aren't just a bunch of spheres, cylinders and torii stuck together.

That second one looks too much like a PK command carrier out of farscape, but its a nice peice, all the same.

Needs more geometric detail, however.

Try adding in loads of "fiddly" bits, that gives a very good impression of size.

Nice pics,

   Don't be offended but to me that first one looks like a Vasudan Radio Telescope :nod:

  Their version of "Araciebo"(SP?)...

Vasuda Prime: "is anyone out there?"

Shivans: "NO... So where do you live?"  :lol:

Congratulations, that was the inspiration for that image too! It is a very old station from before warp communication was widely available, it is infact a comms system on the wires.

Very nice! The texture style and scale reminds me of the artwork for the Rama books.
