Hey, you've got a knack for this... nice ships. Really nice.
Some objective feedback:
I like the concept of the race portrait!
- but it still looks somewhat cartoonish-
any chance of maybe throwing in some rougher textures, maybe adding some brown/tans... it still reminds me of the stock (fezzran?) alien.

Or you could just thrill us all and scan in Captian Morgan!

It's a Fazrah indeed. Pirate are a group of various oxygen breather races. Perhaps the texture has to be changed, in order to look more ... battered ?
I'm still learning how Bry ce 5 works, especially when it comes with textures...

Nice. I"m biased but I like that you are keepting the backgrounds. Among other things it will help them be more visble.

I think they won't Last long. Some other Posts(especially from the shipset guru, Andres Lescano) concerning the tesselate shipset have reminded me that there were display problems with non-black backgrounds in some parts of the game. Custom Backgrounds are fun but incompatible with SE IV.

So I think I'll withdraw them in the final Version.

The only problem with custom background in portrait pictures is when such picture is selected as a random candy in "race creation" menu. It can look very funny Otherwise portraits do not produce any problems. Mini - yes, they all must have clean black background.

Perhaps, but there will be a official Version available on PBW and a alternate.

Seems thaht most people don't care about backgrounds or dislike coloured ones. So the official Version will be black.

Almost finished the shipset.
Just one picture to add, resize some mini pictures, clear ugly pink backgrounds and Version 1.0 will be ready for release !

I fully understand. It would be great if you can.
Hmm, better get off my duff and make an obvers set.
