 | | New JE MOC: Irezumi Fighter —Chris Maddison
|
| | | Hey guys, I figured I'd been out of the loop for long enough and needed to throw some bricks together. Here's what I got: The Irezumi - Jade Empire Fighter (click the pic) (URL) My intent with this craft was to try to create a bit of middle ground (...)

| | | | | (...) Really nice model, Chris. The shape of it is really appealing. I enjoy how organic-looking the JE stuff people are presenting is. The little zemi-bot on back is a nice addition too. I like the spamcake power-core detail, but placing such (...) (21 years ago, 24-Apr-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| | | | | | | Re: New JE MOC: Irezumi Fighter —Chris Maddison
|
| | | | | | (...) Thanks Phil. I find it pretty challenging to make a machine that looks organic. I remember back when Gil was doing his Vox stuff, I was just blown away by how...living and breathing the crafts looked. So I always try to throw a little bit of (...)

|
| | | | | C-Mad, I think this is the best JE moc so far...there is so much to like about this one. It looks good from every angle, but the nose is especially erotic. I really dig the use of the dino-tails that Ryan encoprated in his moc, and also the power (...) (21 years ago, 24-Apr-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

|
| | | | | | (...) Yo Keith. Thanks for the monster compliment. Like I said, the idea in my head was for the front end, and I just went from there. The dino tails were a must from the get-go, had to swipe that from Ryan. As for the power drills, I was trying (...) (21 years ago, 24-Apr-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| | | | | This is extremely cool! It fits perfectly in the Jade Empire theme, but it also represents your trademark (and famous) fighter-craft style. Build lots more stuff like it! (21 years ago, 24-Apr-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

|
| | | | | (...) I clicked, and I was floored. What an outstanding moc. I gotta side with Keith, this is the best rendition of JE we've seen yet. I really like the organic-yet-mechanical look and feel of the whole thing, and that you managed to get the dino (...) (21 years ago, 25-Apr-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| | | | | | | Re: New JE MOC: Irezumi Fighter —Chris Maddison
|
| | | | | | (...) Thanks Ryan. Those dino tails are just perfect for this style of building; I'm glad you thought of it. :-) I can't wait to see what you're going to come up with. Certainly it will trump my little ship. :-) (...) Yeah, Jon is always good for (...) (21 years ago, 25-Apr-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

|
| | | | | (...) I think you succeeded very well. JE's style is really filling out and looking good. This fighter looks amazingly well thought-out, with just the right amount of style and detail. Bravo, Chris! Can't wait to see more. -Lenny (21 years ago, 25-Apr-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| | | | | | | Re: New JE MOC: Irezumi Fighter —Chris Maddison
|
| | | | | | (...) Thanks Lenny. Not so sure about well thought out; it pretty much fell into place. But I can say this is the first ship I haven't built in only one or two sittings, this one evolved over the course of about a week. So maybe the extra time spent (...)

| | | | | Dude, excellent model. It has a Marauder from Buck Rogers meets a Romulan thing going for it that I really like. Love the techno organic feel plus the shmoovenes.

|
| | | | | (...) Awlright! Looking forward to your return to building, and looks like it was well worth the wait. Great stuff man...that fine balance between tech and creeping oogieness has been achieved. I really love how you've used the old skool overall (...) (21 years ago, 27-Apr-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| | | | | | (...) Gil, what up! Oogieness? Man, people are just on a verbal tear today. :-) I like the way you put it - flying T smooshed with curves. With this one, it was all about the organics - I did quite a bit of looking at the other JE ships, other (...) (21 years ago, 28-Apr-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

|
| | | | | (...) snip Way to return to the loop, Chris. This is another 'me too' post. This is a great MOC. The 'reversed' wings give it a very focussed, aggressive feel. The tails and whiskers give it a crustaceanesque(1) quality that's sure to be a Jade (...) (21 years ago, 27-Apr-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| | | | | | | Re: New JE MOC: Irezumi Fighter —Chris Maddison
|
| | | | | | (...) The Earwig! That's what I should have called it. Oh well. :-) I never thought of the JE as crustacean, but it does make sense. Sort of a shellfish meets random bug combination...or something. (...) Yeah, I'm a big fan of the sand green. And (...) (21 years ago, 28-Apr-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| | | | | Re: New JE MOC: Irezumi Fighter —Chris McNamee
|
| | | | | Awesome! This is the coolest JE moc to date. I love the dragon-esque look it has. It looks like one of those ships that leads others into combat, and then kicks butt! Wonderful job! Now I've got to find a way to incorporate dino tails into my JE (...) (21 years ago, 28-Apr-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| | | | | | | Re: New JE MOC: Irezumi Fighter —Chris Maddison
|
| | | | | | (...) Thanks Chris. Dragonesque was exactly the influence I was trying to draw from. I like the idea of it being a command ship of some sort - like there's a less armed, less sleek Irezumi, and this is the Special Edition or something. Can't wait to (...)

|
| | | | (...) I know I'm coming in late on this, but this really is a sweet ship. Very swoosh-able, clean lines, great color distribution. Definitely a template for Jade Empire ships, and--as you say--a nice blend in style to match previous JE MOCs. Derek (21 years ago, 29-Apr-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| | | | (...) Yo Derek, thanks man. Actually, it's not all that swooshable. The front is pretty fragile, but at least it looks like it could zoom around a bit. Anyways, hey...do me a favor. Tell your mom I said hi. :-) -Chris (21 years ago, 30-Apr-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
