I liked the look before, but this is a big improvement even over that.  That upper fin is spiffy.

Better job with the detail.

...

I don't have any nitpicks, except that it needs to be textured. 

[Rampage]

Send it over, and we'll have it UVmapped.

I still would like to see something more creative with the Scorpion engines...

On another note.. I mentioned the Dragon earlier, but I've gone ahead and started the job myself. I have it fully mapped and am working on texturing it.

Seraphim still needs a texture makeover though...

Suggestions?

[mjn.mixael]

I whipped this up in about 2 seconds so it looks awfully shoddy.

But the basic idea I had to keep the feel of glow blocks but to make them seem a bit more tech like was to recess that part in a bit and then do the rest with textures. (IE not flat red)

As I was looking at this, another quick thought I had would be to make look like the actual thruster exhaust is expelled from the vertical faces around the glow block (using the same recessed technique).

Perhaps that might jog your awesome imagination?

I already have something similar in place where it recesses in around the blocks but the blocks come back out as if they are held in by some kind of clamp. I think they look better when sticking out away from their mounts rather being recessed completely in.

[mjn.mixael]

Hmmm, ok then! You're off the hook I suppose. Now who do I talk to about not using flat red there? 

EDIT: Dragon getting a new texture. http://imagebin.org/142015

[BrotherBryon]

I've deepened the recesses to make them more visible, also recessed the back bit of the block and beveled the backside edges. Here is a closer in picture with the whole block smoothed.

I'm sure the Inferno Team will take note of your concerns for the texture.

[Commander Zane]

Sweet!

[Dragon]

Excellent.

[mjn.mixael]

The Dragon has a new skin!

[Mars]

Some of those edges look sharp enough to shave on. (not sure if that's good or not)

[Dragon]

Is that the Esarai's HTL Dragon?
EDIT: It seems so. I think that guns could use a bit of upgrade (the model, not the texture).

[CommanderDJ]

Agree with Mars, but I think that's more due to the shape of the original design than anything else.

Also, something about the bottom front part feels... off. I dunno. Overall though it's a huge improvement over the previous!

[Rga_Noris]

He gave the current HTL Dragon a worthy texture. With the old texture, you could hardly tell it was even HTL'ed in the first place.

Awesome work!

[mjn.mixael]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's Esarai's. I wasn't up for modelling a new one.. I just wanted texturing practice. I did make some minor changes to the mesh like giving the guns holes inside and whatnot.

[T-LoW]

It looks great! I love those high detail bumps

[Rodo]

The bottom part texture might need a little more work on it, the top part looks awesome, really awesome

[Rampage]

Would you like to texture the Scorpion and the Shaitan as well?  Since you mentioned you want to use them in your cbanims, perhaps you can do justice to them better than we can.
