I've been posting some stuff in the chat, but for anybody that's been following my progress I thought I'd whack this up here.

I've started applying some basic textures. Still getting the hang of it, but I'm getting there.

I wish I still had Derpachu to stick in the cockpit.

Keep up the good work, Owen. I'm really enjoying seeing the progression, mostly because I have no other notes to offer than keep going.

And please, please, please, take this as the compliment that I mean it: with it textured, it reminds of the video game Descent ships.

I might have to try this, some day. When school is done...

But, it is encouraging to know that a complete artistic moron such as myself may be able to figure it.

Not saying you're a moron, Owen. Just that, I feel slightly more hopeful for myself.

The original Pyro-DX from Descent I + II will always be the best <3 The D3 ones are neat but not the same.

Er I mean.

Really digging the texturing work so far, Owen. It's got this aesthetic of being a rusted out 70's Chevy... in space. I can imagine its engines not firing quite simultaneously so it rocks a bit on its frame, like when you see a truck with the brakes out of whack and the bed rocking around when the truck starts moving again.

So, just for my information, would you/anyone be interested in me doing a follow-up series on Layout?

Not much change since the last one I showed you guys, but I think I'm gonna go ahead and call it final (for now at least). I think I'd rather learn from my mistakes with this model and apply those to the next instead of pulling my hair out trying to get this one to do what I want. Besides, I really just wanna comp this thing now and see how it looks on some footage.

I went off and outlined what the main videos in a followup Layout series would be. Now it's just a matter of finding the time to do it.
