nope. you wouldnt be wrong there

and the grey stripes, ONCE AGAIN, will go away. im looking round for a scaly-stripey-grey-rusty texture, that one is the closest i could find. any help there would be greatly appreciated

ya, i also think it may become a blob too, but i also do think that thats the rotten texturing. it needs a better main body texture...

[Taristin]

Interesting.

[StratComm]

Well you see, when a GVFr Bes, a worm, and a spider love each other very much...

Just kidding.  I like the design, but parts are a little hard to make out under the stretched and distorted textures.  Even the back end needs some work; box mapping isn't always the best answer (especially on something that's trying to be round) but at least that part's better.  Could we see some more angles?

[Mongoose]

Very cool model .

[Kie99]

Yeah well I still like Sadena

[Grimloq]

sedna... what is a 'sedna'? i may use it for future shivan ships...

more angles... sure. ill go render some.

BTW, dont forget that the engines are, right now, nothing more than a big red plane.

ok, heres some more angles:





enjoy!

[NGTM-1R]

Creepy-looking fella. Definitely buglike in the original Shivan style, which is a good thing IMO.

[Grimloq]

precisely the look im looking for,

[c914]

ship coud look better if it was litle slim and please next time use black background:nod:

[Lightspeed]

It's okay, but only remotely shivan. Its too much of a fat, solid block, whereas shivan ships have spiky extensions from the hull.

Add some "arms" and it'll be more like it. And change those textures

[mitac]

This thing doesn't look bad, but it somehow reminds me of an Orion assimiliated by the Shivans, a piece of rock with an engine and some beam cannon arms attached to it.

Though, with those grey textures it would be great for asteroid field ambushs.

[TopAce]

Advanced Demon?

[Blitzerland]

I want it.

[Unknown Target]

It's too fat at the end, and I'd get rid of the bridge. Pretty much all shivan ships don't have a discenerable bridge, and I think only the Nahema has an actual cockpit.

Sadena is a name made up by me from Sathanas (Sa-) Demon (-de-) Ravana (-na) You will need either my permission or a lack of Conscience to use it!

Edit: F***ing awesome model though

[Grimloq]

meh, i have no consience (i killed it years ago) but ill ask your permission anywayz

i was trying to kinda merge the demon a little bit and the sathanas a little bit and the archangel a little bit. but , the name is differet, since Dethagel sounds pretty lame

actually, dethagel isnt *too* bad... more like a fighter...

and, ya, ill probably lose the bridge eventually, i just wanted to see what it would look like and it looks ok, actually, just it messes up the shivan-ness...

lemme get some piccys of demon, ravana, ect so you guys can see what im saying.

oops, i didnt say it yet i meant to say that the reason its not so spikey is because the demon was rather un-spikey as shivan ships go. the arms just are there like mini-sathanas ones (not as powerful, tho) and i also plan to maybe get some spikes on the bottom, a la demon. it would help break up the monotony a bit too... beleive me, if i can get this the way i plan (now), itll be a work of art

[Setekh]

I love it - definitely think it has room for improvement, but is a stunning piece nonetheless. Use it as a launchpad and start on a new Shivan design, using the lessons you learnt from this one.

Oh, and welcome to HLP, Grimloq.

[Grimloq]

thx and im forcing myself to learn how to make shivan ships. this is only my 3rd one...

[Getter Robo G]

When I look at it ir sorta reminds me of a tick-relative,, makes me want to step on it in revulsion.. (translation) GREAT JOB!!!

   Now some screenies of it being naughty   please...

[Grimloq]

it still has SOME work to be done:

A) over my dead body will that stripey-grey be seen in-game
B) i dont actually know how to do pof conversion yet, but if somebody could point me to a (decent) tutorial... the last one i got was utter crap
C) i havnt added turrets yet. thats probably the biggest problem!

i can, however, make a render of it 'being naughty', as you say...
