So im looking for som artistic advise

By Jarlh, in X-Wing Painting and Modification

Hello everyone,

First of i apologise if the images are to big or something, posting this off my phone and im not very good at this kind of stuff. 2nd i recently got into x-wing and like mcdonalds im loving it.

Im also amazed at some of the fantastic repaints so i decided to steal some ideas of people such as the imperial logo on the wings etc.

And came up with this however after sleeping over im still not happy with the design for some reason, the right side of the punisher seems a bit lacking and something that happenend to be a black tie is turning more into a black n white. So to make a long story short should i try a 2nd checker pattern on the right turbine maybe even with some colour or add a blood stripe on the right pannel or would that be a tad overkill? Or just strip it right down and start over? Basicly looking for some ideas seeing im all run out on ideas >>

I'd try to do a matching checker pattern on the other pod.

I really like how your cog bleeds off the wing. It makes the helmet on the starboard side feel a little lonely, though. Maybe it needs a stripe, or that could be where you place the checker board pattern?

Looks great so far. Keep posting!

Agree with FM, it just feels a little 'unbalanced'...probably doesn't need much, maybe not even as much as a blood stripe, but perhaps some small colour accent ? :unsure:

So added a red stripe with some lighter pieces wanted some sort of sloppy roller affect on it probably going to add the 2nd checker pattern tomorrow
