Ahh, the organic ship! Yes, I do remember your ship and enjoyed its unique features.

   Obviously, then, I really dig the fin on the underside of the ship and the tiles immediately above it. I think it also has great form for the majority of it, but there are a few things that I would advise revisiting.

That’s a great use of the coffin piece which in turn has a great shape for this type of vehicle. It would be nice to see some subtle elongated hexagons echoed elsewhere.

Yep, I can see where more hexagons would be good. The coffin was a real spontaneous addition which could be highlighted more.

   The front gun looks a little unfocused. I’d streamline it and bulk it up a little.

I like my gun, but it is a little weak, I admit. I have been interested in reproducing some of the gattling type guns I have seen but thought I would start with something of my own.

   I also think the dragon head/tail disrupts the shape some. It might be interesting to actually widen out that part some with some winglike structures, and focus on evoking a dragon with the nose of the ship, which already captures that some with the 1x2 slope peak pieces. Well done teeth there would be awesome.

My problem is it is too skorpion like and I had thought about a new “nose job”. I like your ideas.

   Thanks for sharing, and I hope my comments are helpful/thought provoking. If not, no worries, as this still looks great as is.

I appreciate your comments Aaron. Definitely thought provoking. I will revisit the fighter the next chance I get.

Thanks again.

Chris
