Environment and props

The environment went off largely without a hitch. I basically blocked in the colour from my scanned in drawing and touched it up a bit in case you didn't guess. It's not as good as my character which is a shame as I thought I was starting to get kinda good at this. The one thing I did add was the energy shield which I quite pleased with. It didn't turn out quite like how I imagined it would but it is close enough I think. Aside from that I think the environment looks ok, not great but not bad either. The props were interesting as I had no reference for their angle so had to guess draw it. The scanner worked quite well however the wrench didn't. I think what I needed to have changed was the angle so it was more perpendicular with the scanner and given it a much bigger shadow, also they don't look particularly metallic which is a shame as I think they look good over all. I do agree however there needs to be more in the hangar bay. I tried to show off all the bay but didn't take into account how high it would end up being or how little was actually in there. I would have loved to have done the hangar like the ones from my mood board but alas I'm not that good although considering what I've actually gotten done in the last 12 weeks it now seems that I might get as good as I want to be....at some point. The lighting also needs work too and I definitely need practice at that as well as making the materials look like what they are, the environment looks quite flat currently but with time I think I should be able to improve on this. I hope :S
