Part 1
http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?topic_id=111414


Things have slowed down massively on the writing front. I'm struggling to get past a difficult part. I've done a few more models in the meantime, and am updating several old ones.

Again, I rendered with no smoothing on.

^ The Vykalis. This is a very small, very low-poly corvette for the Xy`Kranasha. An old model I polished up.

^ A destroyer, the Anahn Thunderhead. Also an old model I revisited and did some major modifications to, including making the turrets (which I tried to make as low poly as possible). yes, it has 2 rows of Railcannons on the front + 2 rows of Flamelance cannons on the front as well.

^ Xy`Kranasha Ghattakhan heavy destroyer. Those big things on the sides are psionically-controlled mass drivers. 6 hour modeling time, about 21k poly iirc. Over half of that time was spent fixing tremendous fuckups on the model from me not paying attention when I was beveling out sections on the supports, and it bevelled out a lot of the front of the ship I had to rebuild by hand with cuts.

^ My current WIP. The Xy`Kranasha Glecterror, a stellar-sized megaship-class. As this is a megaship-class, I can go over 100k poly if I so desire. Unfortunately because this was an old model, and because I am not that skilled, I cannot detail to that kind of level. So it's around 20k right now and only needs a tiertary basic weaponset and more support ribs for the bottom cannon arrays (which are designed to break off and warp into enemy targets of interest if they become heavily damaged).

Your skills keep improving mesk, the last on is really impressive as well. Looks like something I'd expect to see out of Mass Effect 2 (take that as a compliment).
