Re: Gron Battleship
Well, that certainly DID make a difference. I take back what I said. Well, partly. The DN looks fantastic! Like you hinted at, though, the minis need a bit of work.
Personally, I don't worry about the minis too much. The larger portraits look OK...obviously, the DN looks best and the details stand out pretty well.
NOW, here's my take on things...which is a weird point of view, I must confess:
To me, the object of a kewl shipset is to let it be seen. The only problem is that the opponents that one faces sees mostly the minis. THAT, in my humble opinion, is where the best appreciation of a shipset is realized...when looking at them on the tactical display (and so forth).
SO, if I had the talent to make a shipset (which I don't), I'd try to make the minis look good as possible. After all, THAT'S what you want the opponents to fear when they see it.
Just one guy's opinion.
Having said that, it's HARD to put much detail in mini portraits. I think you have a good start, though. As you said, perhaps a bit of different lighting to bring out the detail a bit more.
NICE work! I envy your imagination and technical ability.
