I am still hestiant about how to do the sizes that are not in the actual art. Also, what should I do about the missing keeper and labyrinth base art? I have said in the past that I am not to good at this.

So I was looking at the photographs and wondering why the photographs with a hive base and with a keeper base both looked like a gaian base and that is because they had not created any for them and so they defaulted to the gaian base set. This means someone would have to create a set of keeper and labyrinth bases to fit that style.

I'd suggest taking the official bases and simplifying the designs a little by removing some details - that's essentially the difference with the final Uni bases, and ought to work well enough.  This is nothing you can't manage.

Size 2 Morgan base. Please tell me how I am doing. So far I think I have been doing fairly well.

See the link below and the Article I did on cutting out structures from screenshots to make bases...

Where can these 'early art' bases be found?

Ah, now I see. Completely overlooked them.

Yeah, I think you're doing fairly well as well. ;)

Another picture of a size 2 believer base. I am thinking that I should just re-do the bases in there likeness by hand. What do you people think?

I dunno.  There's nothing wrong with that one except it looks flat, but that wouldn't be as hard to fix as drawing it from scratch would be.

Actually, I think there are other problems as well. If you take a look at this image and you may see how poorly fitted they are to the original defenses.

That's because you centered it around everything, not the building.  Ignore the shadow when placing the fences.

All of this base art is starting to make me feel uneasy  :-\.
