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 it. Could use a good texture, but other than that...Maybe a couple more guns on the side?

What's that glowey thing in the middle?

Looks good. The size might a cruiser or perhaps a battle cruiser?

Or it is most likely that he left the anti-alias setting at 0...
