trying some new things in PS. This will eventually end up in a SF illustration. I'd like a critique first

I like it. However, it seems unfinished. There needs to be more hardware attached. Load that thing for battle! I am also unsure of the exhaust. Do you mind trying it as blue?

The textures are excellent as always.

Moth, your're a war monger aren't you? I added another ship. It's a bit sleeker. As for the weapon systems, don't lose sight of the fact that these babies are from the year AB 412 ( AFTER BUSH)
Conventional weapon systems will consist of EMP and computers that can receive and then manifest the pilots thoughts. He (she) will be able to destroy by simply thinking about it. CAN YOU BEAT THAT?????
Also note the 'blue' flame emminating from the new ship. You see, receive and manifest. It works.

Air Force brat. Grew up on a diet of F-4s, A-7s and A-10s

I like the new ship, very sleek. The color scheme is more military in tone. Then again, would space ships need camouflage? [bustagut]

Sure I could. I'd just have to be smarter.

Seriously. Good work as always. These craft would fit in well with many of the futuristic computer battle games out there. You're using layer styles aren't you?

ronmatt

yes I am using layer styles. but many of them are my own. I seldom use any others any more.

Cool, but is it ready for interstellar travel? It needs bigger engines to get to warp?
Great job there bud

Welles

Haw! Looks like a civilized cousin of Phred... 8D

ronmatt

what's a PHRED???????????

huma

I knew it.

Phred was a thing I painted a while ago. I called him an i-shark. He looked a little like a cross between a squid, a shark, and a machine. His basic form was elliptical. Welles has a fishing lure version of him floating around. I seem to have misplaced the original. It's on one of my backup disks.

Great work ronmatt. I like the sleeker "version23gt" *adds "remember to try to design a spacecraft" to PS todo list.* Are you planning to do more work to it?
I'd love to see it with a good starfield around it, affecting the reflections on the ship herself (or perhaps, himself)
Layer styles I have yet to fully appreciate. Isn't Photoshop gorgeous having so many hidden treasures, like layer styles, waiting to be discovered.
