Done in MS Paint. It's the completed version of the Svelte-class Imperial shuttle designed and built post Battle of Endor as a tougher, sleeker, faster and more compact replacement for the Lambda-class shuttle. Based off of the lone drawing in SW RPG "Starships of the Galaxy" player handbook. So how's she look? I tried to keep elements simlar to the Lambda, but the Svelte is definately her own ship. Hopefully I pulled off the "Vader-class shuttle" look that "SotG" said many Imperial pilots have coined the Svelte-class with.

So what do you think? First one is with gear and access ramp retracted for flight conditions, the other is with both deployed for landing allong with a human figure for scale.

Very nice for paint. Like Ein's work.

Wasn't this ship also depicted in WEG's Jedi Academy Trilogy sourcebook, looking completely different?

My copy's in Cedar Rapids, so I can't check to find out.

Can't say as I've never seen said book. The one I used as a basis is this one.

Poor beggars can't be choosers. I can't afford nor have the time to learn well the fancy 3d rendering programs. Hence I make do as best I can with Paint.

So yes, for what I can do artisticly, I love Paint.

Fucking hell people, Use fucking .GIF for these things, it will save smaller
than with a JPG and look cleaner, MUCH cleaner.

PNG is better unless you use lots of primary colors like me. That's when you can save as GIF. I use PNG anyway...
