Re: One Small Step

Okay, wow, we’ve had some amazing entries this round! Not very many in total, but nonetheless they are really cool. I thought I would take a moment to lay out some of my thoughts on them. Firstly, Charguizard’s entry. The launch vehicle itself is really well done, the only complaints I have about the ...

Sapphire's consolidated designs and drawings

Alright, so, I think it's about time I got rid of the old threads I've been using for my artwork so far, and consolidated all of it in one place. Since there's going to be stuff from multiple AUs and one-off things here, I figure this is the right place. Most of the stuff here will be from my TL34 ...

Re: Supercarrier Challenge

Okay. So. If I had a nickel for every time I stayed up literally all night to work on a challenge submission the day before the deadline, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird very concerning that it happened twice. Anyway, I still have a few hours left to continue detailing I ...

Re: Austin Class LPD

Over on the shipbucket discord server we were discussing some stuff to do with shading, and your drawing came up. I wrote up some constructive criticism regarding it, and acelanceloet proposed that I should post it here so that you might have a greater chance of seeing it. So, without further ado ...

Re: Men-at-Arms Challenge

We are a group of people (drawing nerds, many of us) which I suspect are mostly western, mostly English speaking (some as second or third language), mostly male (military stuff nerds tend to be) which is drawing AU stuff which we choose. Most people draw AU stuff that they are interested in ...

Re: Men-at-Arms Challenge

Okay, I genuinely have no clue what you guys are all talking about. What do politics have to do with any of this? Literally none of what I said was political in any way shape or form. A lot of your commentary is regarding colour palettes. This scale/style owes a lot to Franscale, a style which ...

Re: Men-at-Arms Challenge

So, uh, I’ve noticed that on challenges some people like to write posts after them talking about all of the various submissions and giving their opinions on them, so I thought I would try my hand at the same. I’m going to try my best to be constructive here, explaining what I like and dislike about t ...
