' Wrote:The overall design is good, I like it a lot especially the emblem overlay on the planet. The only things that let you down is the inconsistent lighting angles (planet - light from right side, ship - light from left side) and perhaps the rushed engine trail job (?)
You can enhance the trail a little by adding a glow onto it but you'd have to reset your light in your render to keep it the same as your background. To make the lighting perfect, use a light source (top right corner) and go over the left most edges with a low opacity soft black brush.
Yes, I like to pick up small details because I'm an artist myself and notice them as I design my signatures.
Edit: intended for Tom
Hah, you got a an eye for details, but all correct :D
I wasn't paying attention to planet lighting, and picked this lighting angle on ship as I wanted to show how nice it is in this position. :laugh:
And true about engine trails. I was strugling for some time how to pull them out to look most similar to ingame.
When I figured out finally, I rushed them quickly just to see final result.
I went to take screens of engine trails, and they do look pretty similar, color is the same, only bit longer thin trails.
Anyway, thanks folks, and Cabulb for clear criticism, helps me in improving myself in this kind of stuff. :)
