Thanks for the comments guys! I've been working on some more that I'll post in the morning when I get home from work.

Andres, no, I'm not using the blob-mod plugin. These have all been editble meshes that I've done by hand. The procedural shader I'm using has a deformation map worked into it. I could send it to you if you like it.

As I've been learning the program I've changed over to editble poly and I think that has improved my models, we'll see what you all think once I post more pics.

taking on a much more aquatic feel, especially that manta ray. I would get rid of the eyes, it makes it look a littly goofey.

I like them all, but the Last one does not seem quite in theme with the ohter ships. nothing says it has to be, but most of the others had a long hull with protrusions and a cavity towards the front. this one gets away from that paradigm entirely - so it reminds me more of a drone or fighter.

Yeah, Puke, I tend to agree about the drone. I think I'll replace it with the Last ship. My drone concept was to make it a semi-independant organism whereas the ships are grown from cultures.

Like the concepts. Ignore the peons though, keep the eyes, consider adding tendrils / cillia / thin wavy stuff. These are organic, you need some organic antennae. Get rid of the hard and techno looking fins, try something more fish or bird like... Dragonish whip tale perhaps?

(I use an organic tech race and I wanna' decent shipset, thus the comments. If I'm gonna' steal something, I've got to like it)

"Eyes" are not very realistic for a space-born creature... they would have far more complicated sensory input systems than just mere eyes.

Only if they are bugs... "organic" does not mean "bug"...
