Xurian Confederacy

Inspired by the great works of Atrocities, I'm very nearly done with a ship set of my own. While nowhere near his league, I still thought I'd post a couple of examples and see what folks around here think.

So here is a preview of the Xurian Confederacy's Race Portrait, Worldship, Starbase, Small Fighter, and Drone.

Be kind y'all...

They look quite good, especially for a first shipset. The fighter is my favorite.

Very inspiring. I really like where your going with this set. Keep up the good work.

Thanx for the positive feedback. I will try to post a couple more previews, and get the set wrapped up here within the next week.

Great images. Don't forget to make a wiki page for them when you release the shipset:

The race portrait is particularly impressive. Is that taken from some scifi show or did you make it yourself?

Actually, it is a modified picture of a "one-off" race of aliens fron Stargate. Liked the look of them enough and the picture was workable, so I decided to give it a shot.

Hmmmmmmm..........

Hadn't even considered that. Just what to do with them when I was done was a thought I hadn't addressed yet.

Doh...........

Those are great-looking ships. I agree with Renegade, the fighter is the best.

Take your time working on the set. If you add just a touch more detail, another secondary turret here, sensors pod there, you'll be much more satisfied with the result, even if others won't see every last detail

I always design my ships with as much detail as possible, such as a name on the hull, a secondary or tertiary battery, an engine block, etc., even though I know no-one will even see the stuff..... It's much more fun that way

Out of curiosity, what ship sets have you done? It'd be interesting to take a look at them.
