I notice you're using dark blue instead of black for the registries. Nice touch.

Excuse me if this has been asked before. Do you create your art in Illustrator? What technique do you use to create that official-looking Trek shading and texture on your ship?

Please point me in the right direction if a FAQ or tutorial exists.

Much thanks!

 

[Reverend]

Everything I do, including the comic book stuff is done with Pain Shop Pro X.
As for as technique goes, it's just experience really, no trick to it beyond making sure you research your colours and details properly, choosing the right weight to your lines so the image holds together nicely. I wouldn't say this design has a texture, it's just bare gradients, with the odd transparency.

^ Nice "typo".

You'll have to forgive my dyslexia but, where?

This one:

... with Pain Shop Pro X. ...

 

[Reverend]

Ah. Freudian slip perhaps?

 

[Harry]

That's the same type of software as QuarrelDraw and Illustorture, right?

 

[Reverend]

Or PhotoShite.

Ok, although the question was asked on another board, I think I might as well post this here too. This is the location of the escape pods.

...and this is what they look like.

 

[Raider]

Nice design.

 

[Reverend]

Since someone asked about the size of this, here's a rough scale chart that I keep.

 

[Raider]

NGL-7723?

NGL = ?

The NX-41050 looks very interesting.

I made it up. In theory it's a Federation civilian Neutronic Fuel Carrier (Class-3 .)

The NX-41050 looks very interesting.

That'd be the Korolev, there's a thread for it here.

Ah, thanks

 

[Raider]

...it's still good art...

It's really nice what you can do in Pain Shop Pro. Great job, Reverend. :thumbsup:
