Hmmm, struggling with this shot of the Slave 1 (a classic model ((which really needs no introduction, but here's one anyway ) by an old friend Arild Wiro).
Something about the shots just doesnt do it for me, not sure what; what's wrong - over saturation, the ship being on its own, needs some lasers, or maybe in the films we never see the Slave 1 on its own, the fact its always in a busy scene - what what what!?
Maybe its fine and the wine is affecting my judgement lol, I'm open to feedback (as ever
))
Cheers,
Wiz.

Rather than add extra ships, you could consider adding some sort of environmental interest- say a Tibanna gas station (or similar- I'm assuming from the lighting colours that you're going for a Bespin feel, but I could be wrong) or even spires from Cloud City? I'd possibly also rein in the blur ever so slightly on the second image (the quasi-profile shot). They're also both quite tightly cropped, and I can't remember seeing a scene in the films where we saw Slave 1 like that, so this could be influencing your view as well.
And yeah going for a Bespin feel, like the chase idea but going for a different take on that, using a shot from Empire.
Still loads to do, keep the feedback coming
Thanks again
Saw this in the finished forum, and love your end result. And it is Wiro's old model? I didn't realise, even more awesome. How's that dude doing?
Great stuff.

Looking at these WIP shots brings fond memories of my physical build of this model way back when, and all the work that went into the weathering of that thing, probably looks like crap now if I managed to dig it up (In Mum's loft somewhere I assume), but I remember spending ages trying to get that grey paint splatter on the left green drum shaped bit next the the cockpit just right. Ahhh, happy memories.
