I'm working on neutralising the colours a bit ^_^

Oh, and Rican, I'm planning on bringing the iron feisar up to a shareable standard pretty soon.

I thought it was pretty cool on paper, but it didn't come out too nice, and it seems I still have a lot of work to do on it...

Also, I'm surprised there hasn't been a lot of skins with "noseart", or flags for that matter as well

Great AXX, i never realy used Feisar but that one realy has a ....soul.

swift412: i like it but it looks more like a snake i think, maybe if the eyes would be situated a bit more twards the back and a bit smaller it would look more fishy ;)

I saw a duck at first, but it must be the yellow nose… but i also find that the Piranha ship itself has quite a ducky nozzle (in WIP3OUT also)

.. I can't .. stop .. my .. self .. nngghhff ..

hey swift, did that piranha of yours choke on a banana??! :D


.. coffsorrycoff ..

lol! Guess I'll swap the red for blue with bubbles or something =P

Me again, I think I've fixed the colour scheme, this one's much more classy, sophisticated and deco.

The car is actually a very special guest on this skin, being loosely copied from my Morris Minor, part of whose registration is "AAX" (I'm tempted to make an alternate version with it at the front, beating the Qirex :D )

massive improvement on an already cool skin :)
its so retro arcade looking

:eek wonder...full, now i know i like it AXX. As for the alternative skin...i think that thisone is more true to speed history: car-train-airplane and now ag-mobile :)

come on zargz lol:"did that piranha of yours choke on a banana??!". It was obvious the ship was not finished, you can be so mean :lol, and yet ....i have to admit you made me chuckle all evening

thankyou for the inspiration Swift412, saw your ship and went away to create this :)

I am REALLY happy with how it turned out :D
a shot of the other side here

That's awesome Lion! :D

Yeah, nice work Lion.

QirexAAX, I love the new colours... but... I think I liked the old colours more! Yeah, they weren't all that Wipeout and look a little cartoony but they really suit the design you have. They're both great though. Now you have the template, you can use any colour combo you like. Actually I discovered my neon one works just as well in red and yellow as well as blue so I could do a whole neon series. Or go for a Superman Red/Blue thing.

:eek :pirate :rolleyes: :beer :clap
Ouch! That hurt, it makes my BlueGrin look so much less. :paperbag
Way to go Lion.
That is what i initialy wanted to do with the Triakis but on the way i came up with ....well, what it is now.

Looks ....stunning. :+ :+

Still, it is a sharkskin on a piranha. I think it would look better on a triakis. And i think it would be great if you coud come up with a piranhaskin in the same concept ;), what do you say ?

Lion, that is ACE, I love it!

the shape of the piranha really lends itself to this... it's fairly fish like in shape, and also more like an aeroplane or boat than any of the other craft...
it would be much harder to make this look right on a triakis. your method sidestepped this issue quite neatly by including the shape of the fish rather than making the ship become the fish :)
for military designs on a triakis I'd be more inclined to base it on a tank than on a plane.

as to a piranha skinned piranha ship... I'd be interested to see the results of someone successfully conveying it, but with the shape of the real fish, maybe the mirage would be a better match?

Awesome job Lion, thats the way it's done. And zargz wouldn't be zargz if he didn't make us laugh :D

Lion, Nice, that ship is awesome!

@ Lion - :eek !! cool
.

Nice one Lion! :D
You left out scratches and damage on purpose?

Nice work Lion!! That skin is great, and would look really good in a race. Have you taken it online yet? :)
