I design shipsets

I agree to say that your shipset need to be a bit brighter. I know thaht Doga is used to creating dark objects. When I used it for the spaceshark shipset, I made all pictures brighter with another 2D images soft, like ph oto shop.

Perhaps I would be less enthousiastic than LK or Gryphin. I understand the concept to have several small ships gathered to create a bigger one (the quickest way to design big ships ; !) but I'm quite surprised to see that there is no link between the different parts. I think you should make them closer or linked with pipes or something like that.

Just my opinion, keep on the good work !

Hugh Manatee the 'Swarm' is very nice. I would love to see it after you run it through L-3!

I think the idea is that each ship is a representive ov some "bee hive" attacking the enemy. The race should have psychic and/organic technology. I too agree it would be nice to light it up a bit. With Photoshop or something.

Yes, that is me. I found it by accident one day while looking for strategy guids for a game.

Did you try directing them to this forum?

I thought they were stunning for the concept, design and implementation. The idea of not so much a destroyer but a “flight” of 3 individual ships works for me. I do find them dark but I find a lot of sets are too dark for me. I try not mention it anymore as it is usually because of my vision and if I like a set enough I mod it for home use. I never distribute these sets.
To lighten ships I:
Right click > Open With > Photo Editor > Image > Auto Ballence > File > Save
Works for me.

Photo Editor comes with Office 2000 and maybe others. If you do minis you might have to finish by loading into Paint and put the 2 pixel "true black" border around the.

For concept alone, your race gets an A. The fact that the images are cool, is just icing on the cake. Although, im afraid i agree it is a little to dark, but, considering other things, and that if im not mistaken, this is your first shipset, it is still VERY impressive.
