Whooho, you did it! 
This looks very neat, pretty Mando-esque with the T-visor.  But while I really like the design, I don't think it works that well in atmosphere...
I like the concept angles in the left upper corner a lot more than the actual artwork, actually. In the angle shown, it looks kinda odd-shaped for a sleek fighter, but the schematics don't look so bad. Actually, the schematics look great, because the general shape even has a resemblance to a Mythosaur skull, which I really like. It also looks more intimidating there.
Now, this probably sounds like I don't like the concept... I do, it's really awesome and very original, it just doesn't feel like a Bes'uliik to me, but perhaps another kick-ass Mando fighter.

I always thought that Slave I looked stupid. That mando fighter looks TONS better. I liked the Stealth-X A LOT! It's EXACTLY how i pictured it. The new Eta though...not as much...But i'm still torn on whether i actually like the Eta. 2 or if it's just cool because it was a made for Jedi craft.
Excellent work all around!

Hi again guys,
I stand corrected -- having not read (yet) Sacrifice/Inferno, my idea of the Bes'uliik was very sketchy. After a proper research (long live Wookieepedia! ) and some available hours, I came up with a new-and-improved Bes'uliik. The old one will henceforth be known as Dron'eliik, a secret and never-seen-by-anyone prototype of MandalMotors 
And a quick -- sorry, no time for more -- schematic look to give you a better idea of the overall shape:
Have a nice day, everybody
Drone

 .... !
Oh wow, Mister Drone Sir, you seriously never cease to amaze. I have issues collecting my jaw from the ground! 
The new concept of the Bes'uliik looks totally amazing, very sleek any stealthy, and I like the more "earthy" look it sports. Being a fan of the F-117 Nighthawk, this definitely's right up my alley, mate!
It also reminds a bit of a alien bird of pray, and seeing that one of the earlier names for the vessel was Kyr'galaar, which basically means "Death Hawk", that fits perfectly.
Thrilling job on this, it really looks like a craft Mandos would create, all stress put on practical use without unnecessary falderal.
I think this is now officially the look of the Bes'uliik, at least for me, heh.

Still waiting on your Aleph, Drone. 
As for your Bes'ulik, I really like it, but it just doesn't fit with my image of a Mando vehicle. When I think of something made by MandalMotors, it's got kinda a muscular, beefy look about it, especially, IIRC, since the Bes'ulik was supposed to be rather heavily armored. If you were to apply a bit more of that angular and 'ugly' aesthetic from the Dron'elik to this model Bes'ulik, it might get my stamp of approval.

While i'm impressed with the quality of your work accross the board, I think the Bes'ulik looks too earthy. I could see that being an actual real life concept vehicle and not something out of Star Wars.
Or maybe I'm just complaining to see more pretty artwork...

Drone-
I would love to see you take on a Mon Calamari designed warship.
Care to do the Star Defender Viscount? I know we already have a pic of it, but it would be nice to see one with the level of detail you put into your work.

Drone, your stuff is insane. And I mean that in a good way. The StealthX looks spot on. The Galactic doesn't looke like I imagined, but is a much more dynamic and interesting design. Quite frankly I like yours better.

Hi guys,
I am fully aware the design looks quite earthly And there is a reason for it -- http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Bes%27uliik
check the Wookieepedia entry -- one doesn't really have much of a choice when the author described a quite earthly design (don't forget aerodynamics don't give you much room of interpretation on top of this )
Anyway
Nick, I was about to start sketching the Mon Cal Heavy Cruiser-Carrier, but if you insist, I can give the Viscount a try
Have a nice day everybody,
Drone

If you're pointing at the part of the article I think you are, I definitely interpreted the "vee-shaped" part in the least earthy way possible. I never finished my sketch, but I may try my hand at Illustrator and see if I can create an interesting Bes'uliik, if I have time between making my room look like something other than a pigsty in time to fool my parents when they visit and posting a long overdue update to my RP.

6. Was gonna say the Sith Meditation Sphere, but then I discovered that there actually are pictures of it.
Thw way the Sith meditation sphere is described in LotF is way, way different than the way the one on the wook from Freedon Nadd's times looks like.
This is what the LotF one looks like, in my head anyways.

Hi guys,
Some of you might be interested -- that's my take on the Bothan Assault Frigate, requested by a poster at swagonline.
It is a quick job -- I broke my personal speed record with this one -- and it does sport a few unfinished things, admittedly
All the best to all,
Drone
