I don´t mean to say that the cockpit is small in scale, i mean the structure is too far back, needs to be taken forward. As it is, the pilot would feel like looking down a barrel.  Keep the cockpit on the same size, but bring the structure forward.
If you look at it from a side view, you´ll see what i mean.

All the Battlestar Galactica Vipers were like this... Putting the cockpit forward would... how can I say that... make the ship less similar with the other Vipers?

i like the design of the fighter

Any tips you might want to share? I've always loved your texture work

I second this. I'd like to make such gorgeous maps for my vessels.

Edit: Saw the response... Hmm... Still, dunno how that'll help me.

Hey guys,

I got good news and bad news.

The bad news is I cant finish my galactica mod or port it to freespace with some help from the community:(

The good news is

I got hired to lead the art team for a new space sim, its a full out project that will be out in stores, I cant say more the that, and wont, but, if you like freespace 2, freelancer, starshatter, starlancer, or those kinds of games you will love it.

Thanks to those of you who checked out my work and posted, even if I didnt respond I took every post under advisment.

If i manage to find the time I will fire the models off to some people to convert, they are kind of stil messy tho, 2048 textures and slightly unfinished meshes.

Congrats

(jammy bastard )

Actually, I think he has experience working freelance.

I've seen a few.... I'm not good enough to apply, natch; plus I don't have the diversity of work anyways.  I know of one website that does only list games-related works - including artwork - although it's uk only.

[DamoclesX]

Ya

actually, the best think you can do is pick a game and mod it the best you can really.

Anybody can goto school, or put all this impressive stuff on their resume, or render cool high poly sceans or abstract "art"

none of that is impressive at all.

Do a model that can work in a game, put it in the game, and hand it out, then do more, and make sure they are the best out there, they have to beat the stock models, and they have to stand out in the community.

That proves you have the ability, will, and devotion to stick it out.

THAT gets you the job.

Every offer/job I have had came from that.

Your models are simply and are always, amazing. Awesomeness...

[Dark_4ce]

SWEEET!!!  

*Collapses*

Thats pure unadulterated coolness.

Isn't that abit like saying anyone can whip a few polys together, or paint a few pixiles on the side of a ship ? Or whip a few events together and make a FS mission ?

[White Tiger]

No it's not.

[Getter Robo G]

Congrats to Damo... Guess he'll be too busy to stop by much anymore   Least you guys can do is pick up what he leaves behind. Like the Muppet says, "The only models in the cave are what you bring with you" or something like that.

Now, would this new venture have something to do with PROJECT 7 ?

He's talking about demonstrating what you can do, and that you can do that to a plan, rather than taking a few bog-standard courses or maybe accidentally cranking out some super-greebled box that looks good rendered but doesn't work in a game.

[Windrunner]

YOu sure got that artistic gene that some of us lack of, like me But good luck  on your new job and keep us updated on that space sim you are going to work on.

[demon442]

[Sheepy]
