I started the RMQ dogfight painting.
Trying out the straight painting technique this time around to avoid a lot of hassles from the Baltar's Betrayal conversion. Not sure how this one is going to work but its digital so the worst I can do is waste my time.
I've already discovered that I'm overdoing the details on the raider. When you look at the normal view, even at 6000 x 6000, you can't make out most of what I tried to put in there. The raider is a special problem because it seems, looking at the spotty image I have to go on, that RMQ tried to draw three different designs for the raider and ended up with a fusion. The perspectives of some of the individual components seems off, as if he originally was trying something different. The windows in particular seem to be the worst, with them not aligning with the rest of the cockpit whatsoever. In the image, this is hidden in that its a lot of light grey but I've stumbled over getting this to work as he's drawn it.
If anyone has a hi-res of this painting, I'd appreciate it.
FWIW, here's the progress on the raider so far.
All my best,
Russell
