looks fantasticmaybe just ad a standard AG-sys type look to the rest of the ship (but blue+white or something) and make it look like the wave is incorporated into the teams design
i dont think that made any sense though :S but it is awesome

I happen to like this painting very much! IIRC there's some Japanese writing in the upper left corner too? Maybe take that and put it on the airbrakes or rear wing? Don't know.

Rahvin - I suppose I could, send me a PM with some details about sort of thing you would like.
Phlow - I am going to try to get some of that text in. Trouble is, I've already found japanese text difficult to reproduce on a very small, pixellated scale (see Shinra logo on my Final Fantasy VII Goteki)
CR4SH3D - I am trying that now, with some success, I'll show you my progress when I've done a bit more.

Pixellated Japanese Font is realy complicated.
My Aufbruch ship should be a Kowareta Hyoushi ship, but the japanese fonts...

QirexAAX, your ship with Hokusai's wave looks great! A very fitting design. Clear recognisable pattern with no clutter, and loses nothing of the racy look of the ship itself.

The Piranha Scorpion MkII:
Weapons researcher Scorpion first made a bid to enter the world of AG racing duing the FX300, claiming they had developed a system of enhancing weapon accuracy while staying within AG guidelines. Without the expertise and history in the area, their first prototype was rejected from competition.
Undeterred, Scorpion went in search of a partner who could bring that expertise. Piranha, being no stranger to partnerships and sharing a history of rejected prototypes, seemed the obvious choice. In the early stages of the FX400, the first Piranha-Scorpion was submitted. A sleek dark craft, boasting greater weapons power, was accepted by AG authorites.
At the last minute the Piranha-Scorpion was pulled, the official explanation being simply that Piranha were unhappy with the branding of the craft. Some suspected that the merger would cannibalise Piranha's own success and that the merger was over.
However, to the surprise of the industry doom-mongers, Piranha unvealed the Piranha-Scorpion MkII, boasting sting as well as bite and, importantly, branding in keeping with Piranha tradition.
The firepower potential remains to be seen but some insiders are speculating that, in spite of Scorpion's involvement, the weapons system of the MkII is no different to Piranha's standard FX400 craft.

Oh, that's nice!
The ''drive safely'' slogan seems a bit ironic, eh?

This is a good point. "<< STING"

The other side reads "BITE>>" Just so people know what hit them.

that skin is BEAUTIFUL. nothing more to say really...

Dogg - That's actually phenomenal. It must have taken you an age.
Progress is slow on the Great Wave, this is what I've managed so far, and I'm not at all happy.
(The text by the cab is not Japanese but those strange symbols on the www.wipeout-game.com logo EDIT: I WAS WRONG! It is Japanese and I'm a moron)

//dogg thang
looks fantastic mate!
//qirexaax
looks good so far, thing that stands out for me as a bad point is the rear end of the craft where theres no real differentiation between the panels but thats all i can really think of
Extreme Pilot
That wave design is aces-- good idea and execution there
Indeed. I'd like to have a skin with that red-neck bumpersticker, "How am I driving? Call 1-800-EAT-****"Originally Posted by Lance

The symbols under the Wipeout logo on that page say "Wipeout" in Japanese

I love the wave. It's gorgeous pixel art and works really well on the AG. And I love how you're keeping the rest in style - like mah jong pieces. I think the front is pretty much perfect. How about separating off a little of the back and using more of the blue? I don't think you'd need it if it wasn't for the engine parts of the AG but maybe it might help there?
I love it though. It has almost a ceramic feel to it.
I was trying to get a couple of photos of my piranha scorpion last night and only then realised I have fallen victim to a slight difference in the editor display - my ribs on the back are one pixel out down one side. I'll have to fix that.
Venom Pilot
Great, then! That hadn't even crossed my mind, I'd assumed it was a sort of "This is what writing will look like in the future!" effort, I suppose it must be Katakana, well, let's just pretend I never even said it wasn't.The symbols under the Wipeout logo on that page say "Wipeout" in Japanese
Dogg Thang - Nothing more annoying when you've finished a detailed skin than to find out it doesn't wrap as well as you thought it did, especially with the details on your scorpion >.<

Im guessing thats inspired by the Punjabi/Bhangra group 'Tigerstyle', eh?
I also noticed the Wu-Tang logo on the roof of the ship
