Default Kingdom of Leon Shipset under construction

I have been very busy working this week making new Ship sets for my upcoming mod and this is a ship from the Star Kngdom of Leon (pronounced Leo-an).

This is a ship I just sort of threw together and I haven't decided what size it should be yet, any sugjestions/comments/tips would be accepted

The ships are fine but you might want to keep a consistent angle for all the ship portraits. An oblique angle works best for ships that are somewhat longer than they are wide. You may also want to render at a high resolution and use a program like Adobe's photoshop to resize, it tends to due a better job.

Well I could have rendered at a higher qaulity but last time I did that it took LOTS of time to load on people and they suggested I make them lower quality while posting such a large pic.

As for the angle thing I'll work on that

Any ideas on what size ship this should be?

My suggestion was more for the actual in-game ship portaits (based on what I saw of the your other finished set) than WIPs.

Odd those are BMPs and rendered from Doga, what about them is low quality?

When you render with the DOGA engine at a small size like 128x128 - the image looks rough (jagged edges etc) as opposed to when you render it larger and re-size it using Photoshop (or similar program) which does a nice job of making the image look crisp.

I like the gun at the front right wing best..... perhaps you could mount a couple of those things on the side of the ship.

This looks like a heavily armed escort

Yeah I think it would make a good frigate, those guns are afterall rather small and weaker then they look

Well here it is with a new texture and additional guns.

Neat texture. If you put another one of those wing thingies on, maybe near the back, it could pass as a light cruiser
