EDIT2: I think the versions you put up still have the extra planet and asteroid trails. Can you put up the versions without those and without the shadow, please?
also Makc, remember you telling me that my ships in my sigs look out of place, not blending in with background?
Now I am getting exactly same feeling for your stuff :D
All ships got kinda white shine with shadows pointed out no matter the surrounding colors and background.
Tommeh, plz explain me the shadow problem, i don't understand.
Top left (blue planet):
The light source is from the crescent on the blue planet, thats why the shadow of the guardian's fin, the end part of the shop, is towards us.
Bottom right:
The light source here is from the planet's surface and from behind the planet, lower part of it, so the shadows are coming towards us and going a little to the left.
I had to make ships vibrant because they need to be seen on the image. I really don't see a problem here.
Although, knowing your are not a joker and you have solid experience in this field, i would love to hear your thoughts on this, what is bothering your eye, so to say.
thanks.
As for your models, i don't think they suck, the reason why they looked slapped on, is because you can see the polygons, thus making them little unnatural. I am not sure what program you are using, maybe there is no option to smooth the model. I was not picking on you, just told you something to take a look at.
