Is this what you meant when you said to ignore the shadow when centering it?

I fear my sense of panic may soon set in over how hard it is making bases from scratch.  ;aaa Also, you were right about the difficulty.

I hear that.

Yep.  Looks a lot better.
All of this base art is starting to make me feel uneasy  :-\.
Base art isn't easy.

But it's worth doing right.

It just bothers me for some reason that they are so small compared to the original art.

Yeah, the one quoted in my last post is big enough for -maybe- stage one.  I bet the screenie you're working with is reduced in size, and you're going to have to do some expanding and sharpening.

Would this do better as a size one base? I will sharpen it if you think it is a better size.

I simply do not have the patience right now to do all of this base art and will get to them when I have the time.

I do not know how to make that blurred yet still clear when viewed from a distance effect that they use on bases.

I don't think I follow you, there.

For example, when you view most bases in a high zoom, they appear to be a blur of pixels until you view it at a good distance, say a zoom of 100%.

Filters>Enhance>Sharpen.  That's how.  Play around with the sharpen levels and see if that doesn't do the trick.

What do you think of this as a very rough draft for the believer base?

Reduce the size of the back corner slightly and lower to put some perspective on it and you've got something there.

Industrial Grade Nano-Paste, one of Planet's most valuable commodities, can also be one of its most dangerous. Simply pour out several canisters, slide in a programming transponder, and step well away while the stuff cooks. In under an hour the nano will use available materials to assemble a small factory, a hovertank, or enough rifles to equip a regiment.
