Once again very sweet!

Could I make a request?

In the Gateway region, MAE Lines is a prominant courier/merchant line. There is no current set of markings designed for this corp, so you are pretty free to come up with something cool

This was the line founded and built to prominance by the current Archduke Marcus Aaron Erechs (MAE)...

Here's my first take on MAE Lines:

In accordance with Archduke Erechs bold household livery, the ships of MAE Lines are outfitted in bold, contrasting color schemes. This courier bears the starship and crescent symbol of MAE Lines in the central stripe.

Let me know what you think...

I like! Not too outlandish, but quite recognizable. The *logo* looks good too!

Of the 'new' T20 ships the scout is my favourite. The new artwork is just re-enforcing that opinion.

Very cool stuff, Ted. May I ask what kind of software you're working with?

I'm glad everyone seems to like the new images. It's a lot of work but the end results are worth it.

I model everything in Rhino 3D and render with 3ds max. All textures are created in Illustrator as resolution independent vector art and then rasterized in Photoshop. The "dirtying" up and weathering of the hulls is hand painted in Photoshop using a Wacom tablet.
