  1. Well here's the U.S.S. Raptor. This one does not come in the light of Goonfella's U.S.S. Goonfella. It's still a WIP, but the basic shape is there.

    This ship is a stealth ship that is capable of sustained atmospheric flight. The rear nacelle wings act like stabilators, but are not capable of a significant amount of movement due to the different aerodynamics with the nacelles on the tips. This ship was inspired by the F-22 Raptor and the YF-23. The nozzles on the engine nacelles are not the Thrust Vectoring type that is on the F-22, but merely more of a fluidic control nozzle meaning it controls how much thrust is coming out.

  2. I have to redownload GSU, but I'll be learning how to do some work on it next year for Robotics so I may start doing 3D modelling, it all depends on time and skill. Remember this aircraft isn't done yet and it will include the camo like the original version I did on it. I have a bit more to do on it. I think modelling it would be better for me though since I'm making a top view then I have to make a side view which would take a long time to get certain details to match up to the top view.

  3. Well I'm redoing my GF-44A Phantom since certain things would have made it not stealthy. Plus certain things just weren't up to my expectations. I'm mainly focusing on plate, flap/aileron, and stealth paint details. Next will be probably the camo then more of the lighting like on the wings and the engine nacelles. The main influence for the detailing on it is the F-22A Raptor which is a real world stealth fighter currently in service in the United States Air Force.

    Note: This is a fictional aircraft and isn't like one of those concepts meant for the real world. I guess I wanted to make a fiction on it and I may one day.

    Any suggestions on how to do reflections on the cockpit since that seems to be the only thing that stumps me at this point. I know the glow I did on it is already realistic enough, but it doesn't seem like enough.

  4. I understand, but could you make it dark in another way? Like maybe have the raptor jumping out of dark jungle foliage. Check out Goonfella's recent image in the Realistic Images thread and notice the foliage he put around the castle. Remember, your sig is telling a story about your raptor. People should be able to look at it and make up stories in their head about what is going on. Inspire them.

    That's an interesting idea. I may do another sig. and I'll take that into consideration.

    @Raptor

    Okay dude, I know you're already going to be ticked off at me for saying this but the dark has to go Make it a really nice dark tan or something that the raptor comes from. Not just a fat brush with Gaussian blur smeared all over it

    (that's what it looks like to me personally)

    No I'm not ticked off at all. It's all constructive criticism and I'll take it to account for another raptor sig.
