And that is the base issue. The more I use the forums the more I notice it's just the same people over and over. Although I'm sure most of the feedback is of decent quality, art is completely subjective and certainly not bound to being "iconic" just because a couple randoms on the internet say it is. I'm sorry but that's just the way I feel about it. If I think the Dominix/Typhoon are ugly (and I do), no amount of "no, you" type post on the internet are going to change that opinion.

The typhoon is many things. Beautiful is not one of them.

That's why I love it.

You have no idea what beauty is!

Oh really?
How about you get onto Tranquility and say that to my face?

The Caldari put business before pleasure. The Gallente put business in pleasure.

This should be said privately but I'm away from home and I left my laptop.

Updated OP to include launchers and a generally more complete concept. It would be great if I could get some constructive feedback on the model itself, i.e. what to change to improve it.

OP's efforts so far look good. I still wouldn't fly it, but it's a definite improvement.

The Deviantart Phoon I would fly. Absolutely. I'll ignore the fact that I hate battleships.

They all said "The Tempest is iconic" and it got a pretty dramatic change. They all said "The apocalypse is iconic" and it got a really dramatic change.

These are both ships that went through the V3 process on their old skins (well maybe not the Tempest) and got remodeled anyway.

The Typhoon's turn is coming. So is the Raven's. It just takes a bit of time.


EDIT: Ehhh. I looked at OP's work a bit more and depending on extremely critical things like how much of the aft is a blinding wall of flame, maybe I would fly it after all.

As far as I remember the tempest was V3d on the old model and the current raven is a new model designed to look like the old one, including the o.t.t. asymmetry.

The Typhoon concept in my OP would have a blinding wall of flame - no idea how do mock that up I'm afriad.
If anyone with skills would like the model emailed to them to take a better look / sort it out, I'll happily oblige Smile

Updated OP with basic colours so hopefully 'wall of flame' is clear?

...and front launching missiles
...and drone bay underneath (sliding bay door for warp)

Updated OP with a final concept, I don't have the skills to go further than this at the minute. Hopefully a decent 3D artist will give it a go, or better yet, help spur the EVE art devs into action on something 'real' Big smile
