While I've never been a big fan of the crystaline tholians, this is a solid start. It looks a bit washed out presently, but I think that can be easily rectified. Burn in some detail, or better yet make it look Etched in.

Sorry - didn't see the reply. Create a new layer, fill an area in that layer and start playing with the Blending Options. I can get into some of my own personal techniques if you'd like.

Okay, started an Image tutorial. Give me about 30 minutes and I'll post it on here as well as on my site. In fact here's a quick image of all the things I'll be covering for you.

Eh screw it. I'm starting a video tutorial as we speak. Works better than an image tutorial.

Thanks. Give me a day or too to run through it fully and I'll get back to you with any questions.

I had a thought how to properly do those phaser arrays. Here's addendum 2 or Part 6 and addendum 3 or part 7.

Part 6 gives another technique as to how to get those rounded phaser arrays down just right.

Part 7 goes into how I texture windows for my starships.

(as of this posting the videos are still processing, so you may have to give it a few minutes).

Heres a first pass at the NDN texture. Still working on geting all the details to pop. Might also make these insets instead.

Btw. First rule of texturing: Follow the motiff.

What I mean is that you really can't throw down a generic aztec pattern and expect it to look good. You've got to have the shapes of the textures work with the shape of the geometry. That ought to be relatively easy for this ship, but its something to bear in mind :)
