Re: Freespace/Blue Planet Marker Illustrations
Damn, that looks really awesome. Love the detail to the shadows and different gray tones.
Dazzling work.

Re: Freespace/Blue Planet Marker Illustrations



Just for fun I've been generating some Shivan cruiser concepts over the past few days. I arrived at this thing. It's intended to be something of an electronic warfare ship. Might make a fully-rendered action shot and tech description later.

Re: Freespace/Blue Planet Marker Illustrations
It felt off to me at first, but as soon as I read that it was supposed to be an EW ship, it felt like it made sense. Looks very cool.

<MageKing17> "There's probably a reason the code is the way it is" is a very dangerous line of thought. :P
<MageKing17> Because the "reason" often turns out to be "nobody noticed it was wrong".
(the very next day)
<MageKing17> this ****ing code did it to me again
<MageKing17> "That doesn't really make sense to me, but I'll assume it was being done for a reason."
<MageKing17> **** ME
<MageKing17> THE REASON IS PEOPLE ARE STUPID
<MageKing17> ESPECIALLY ME

<MageKing17> God damn, I do not understand how this is breaking.
<MageKing17> Everything points to "this should work fine", and yet it's clearly not working.
<MjnMixael> 2 hours later... "God damn, how did this ever work at all?!"
(...)
<MageKing17> so
<MageKing17> more than two hours
<MageKing17> but once again we have reached the inevitable conclusion
<MageKing17> How did this code ever work in the first place!?

Thirded.  That's a really cool concept. :yes:

It also reminds me of the SF Chimera, which seems fitting given their similar roles.

Re: Freespace/Blue Planet Marker Illustrations
Sooo cool. Great drawings!

 
Re: Freespace/Blue Planet Marker Illustrations
I think this appearance of the Vassago is one of the most beautiful moments a FS2 mod has to offer. I tried to present the ship with astonishing power and scale, just like the campaign does. It's easy to start seeing Ravanas as big slow Trebuchet targets, so this was refreshing.



Thanks for all the feedback, by the way. You guys are great.

As one of my favourite moments in VsD, I must say that you nailed it.

Beautiful! Jumping out of subspace, jaw open, fangs glowing blood red, preying on unsuspecting GTVA warships. Really brings back memories of first playing VD. Well done.
If I agreed with you, we would both be wrong

On a serious note.

Good lord.

I can already tell that this is going to be my favourite.
