Hi!
I'm making a scene for my friends SW RPG that takes place aaaages ago (like 5k years) before new hope, in the times of exar kun. Right now i've already done a Sith Fighter, and am working on the Capital Ship...

Sith Figher, background downloaded from this site, not done by me:


Sketches of the Capital Ship



Now, my biggest concern is the surfaces of the ship. I want to make the outer armour look like a Star Destroyer. I'm not really sure how to do it, but what i am sure of is that i don't want it only to be a texture. Does anyone have any ideas or tips?

Cousken, if I were you I would go for a slightly more Lord Rive/Duality Look.

DarthRicmu, i took a look at you work and i really don't see what you mean. Besides i already mentioned that i don't want the plating to be texture only.

Lord Rive/Duality? Would you be as kind as to explain, or maybe post some referance links/pictures?

I have and it is pretty good, indeed, one of the best i've seen, maybe even the best one after Troops.

Anyway, i don't want the fighter to resamble the one from the movie. It's too Tie Fighter ish, and even if the starship does look like a Star Destoryer, i don't want that kind of fighter. It's mostly been inspired by the Sith Trooper armour from Kotor, wich is shiny like that...

On the other hand i've had really lite time to work becuase of Uni, but my situation is improving and i hope to be done before christmas.
