--A lot of new stuff which is all like, high detail functionally driven tech, is cool...but it doesn't really interest me as much personally.

--But yes, I get that feeling as well. Scott seems to be more of a car dude than a spaceship dude. I appreciate how well they are drawn, but I don't get a sense that they could work in real life.

--Anime mechs and tech are always pretty satisfying too. And Old school Syd Mead is jaw dropping

--I know it when I see it I guess. I look at a lot of Scott's stuff and can appreciate it, but it mostly looks a bit retarded to me. his spaceships. I like his cars better.

--But what kind of vehicle designs do you like, in general? Scott tends to be very rounded and bulbous and... even cute, but that's only one style or taste in vehicles.

--Nobody's designs are exactly what I think will be really, really fucking cool. That's why I want to do it myself. :-)

--Oh man, if you draw some creature and spaceship concepts, I'll have to drop by to see!

--Oh, yeah, you are totally right. If your self-critical thinking stops at "this sucks, I should just stop" it is pointless and should be ejected out the airlock.

--Yeah mostly illustration. I am working on creature concepts now, and might even get some spaceships and stuff to design haha

--Being self-critical alone isn't enough. I guess it has to also be objective and constructive self-criticism.

--Later on, once a lot of the technique stuff is handled (in terms of being able to identify weaknesses) crit starts to become about the more intangible stuff. Narrative, emotion, impact etc...
