Looks a lot better, though taking it out of the circle has taken away some of its movement. It seems too stagnant currently. Keep at it, it's almost there.
Agreed. I was looking at it again today and I think I need to flip the shadows on the sails and clean up the lines, too. I'll definitely post it again when I have a revision.
My biggest issue is how horizontal it all is. It's well rendered and everything but when I think about ships and speed I think about them cresting through a wave. I think the ship needs to be rotated from the bottom left corner up about 15 degrees (just a guess, play with it and see what you think) to make it look like it's really riding the waves.
Thanks for the feedback, Steve. Definitely agree with the stagnant look it has now, taking it out of the roundel probably didn't help that either. The revision I started on last night should take care of those issues :)
