Now everything about my life is utterly horrible, however the artist in me is completely satisfied.”” Lol this is never gonna change

A lot of artist's push themselves far beyond what is healthy to make a living or keep a job. That's kind of my point here. In any case, on the casting tip, Dominic Qwek is doing some cool stuff.

Hm, like the other poster noted, it's very much the classic Cobra ship from the Elite games. https://elite-dangerous.fandom.com/wiki/Cobra_MkIV Other than that, judging by the scale of the figure, you've got a huge glass cockpit but it's got bars the width of a man running through them?

If you're aiming to hit the imperial aesthetic you probably should incorporate more design language from the other imperial fighters. The scale looks pretty off if its intended to be an "A-wing". Which is a tiny ship compared to a person. The tie interceptor is kind of the canonical imperial version of an A-wing. When you look at it it looks like a standard tie fighter with faster looking wings.  Pretty much all the imperial fighters in Star Wars are some kind of combo of solar panel wings with a slender attachment to a central cockpit. Which to me at least are the elements that instantly scream imperial fighter from star wars. mashed fucked around with this message at 20:17 on Apr 11, 2019 |

I agree those examples look either unweildy or overdone. Whoever designed the original ships for Star Wars really hit it outta the park.

Handiklap posted:Shame this so-called fan who doesn't recognize canonical star wars ships when they see them. The one from TIE Fighter with 3 wings is canon? I thought they threw all that away with the reboot. The first one is "Automotive designer imagines TIE fighter", and it's a cool spaceship but doesn't say "Star Wars" to me. The others I don't know but they look horrible to me. There's probably a design bible for the Empire out there

Overall this one looks like you've taken most of your design language from a star destroyer, which is fine but it's not the same language that is used for imperial fighters. - imperial fighters don't have laser cannons that stick out like that -- they're little nubs - TIE fighter cockpit windows are circular with radial segments, not triangles - all of the TIE variants are very spindly and fragile looking -- this one is solid and chunky - imperial fighters don't have fins. if you're gonna use them, at least go with the lambda-class shuttle for inspiration, which has one fin on the top and two on the bottom - gotta have the solar panel wings somewhere! Also the scale is better but it's still the size of a medium bomber. I would expect it to have at least two crew and maybe four. Imagine how much space your pilot has inside that cockpit. An A-wing is literally like half the size of what you've got.

Excellent observations, also from the games it was always implied that TIE fighters were disposable - no shields, minimal materials as mentioned, short range, even the pilot was expendable. Vader got his special fighter with shields but he was loving Darth Vader. Edit: Based on the TIE fighter game, back then, the counter to an A-Wing was a TIE interceptor Comfy Fleece Sweater fucked around with this message at 06:15 on Apr 12, 2019 |

Lookin' good. My only criticism is that it needs *more* fine sculpted detail to help with the scale. Right now the scale of it feels like a 10" toy. More fine details will make it feel real world.

More fine details will make it feel real world. Yeah, seconding this. Look at this image from upthread and notice how fine the details are, and how they're the main thing that gives you an intuitive sense of its scale. Also notice how fine details are clustered in points of interest, while larger elements (main wing body) don't need any fine elements. You have little greeble panels that are largely uniform size and distributtion, when you should have a bunch say, up at the top behind the cockpit window, or at the wingtip near the guns - but the main wing body should probably have fewer, the little seams should be enough for those areas. Also, if you have 1000 UV islands you should probably be reconsidering your UV approach. Individual greebles don't need to be and shouldn't be on their own islands. Though I guess if you're only doing baked textures or in-editor texturing then it doesn't really matter.

Agree with other recent feedback. I might rethink the position of those fins, and/or the way the meet the main body. Right now they come up from behind and below the main body, and right next to the engine cylinders. If you imagine the airflow around the base of the fin, it seems like it would be chaotic and turbulent in that region, in an asymmetrical way. Which you don't want around a stabilizing or control surface. Of course Star Wars and sci-fi ships run on magic and not fluid dynamics, but I don't think many (if any) real world designs do something like that. And most semi-grounded sci-fi designs avoid it too, the leading edge of a fin or wing is unobstructed:

I've never done digital sculpting before - I've been working in CAD/CAM oriented software for a few years. On my colleague's recommendation, I downloaded Sculptaris to play around with and see what the buttons do. I did a bad.
