I think maybe the back engine could use two more bladetails, in the same line as the two front things, that way it keeps a sleek look but with more of an imposing back half

another way to help "stagger" them, would be to have varied heights, dunno how easy/pricey it would be to make such an option though, so it mightnt be feasible

Alrighty - added some small side fins to the back, and did a few other small changes. Now - it's voting time!

Tail back, forward, or no tail at all?

Thanks for those,
Option A, unless B can be reworked

A (tail back)

I prefer the swept version, though the pointing version could be made to look a little scorpions sting like, which might suit the evil space elf theme more ..

B looks more evil

Forward!

I really like the middle picture tail fin pointing forward. It gives the right look for evil forces, all blades forward in an aggresive
posture. Gives the rider some protection from the rear too.

Those side fins are a nice touch also.

Another thought is can you have a seperate fin that can be slotted in to a recess as the customer desires, that way everyone's happy.

Hepp,

I prefer option A
B is not as aestheticlly pleasing to my eye, and C is missing something

@ringo

I think B looks better, as said, it gives them a more "scorpion sting" feel that I quite like (since the two front blades look kinda clawlike, which also fits with the succubi figures too, I think the stygians are getting a very scorpiony, insectile carapace, venom themed look, and I am all for that)
can we get some alternate angles of them? I think I'd probably like a bit larger sidefins on the back, but i definitely think they're an improvement on before as is
the other thought was could you bring the front wings back a little (so they start further down the body, and extend out slightly less forwards)

Need to clarify the options here i think as there is no option A, B or C.

Options are tail back left model, tail forward middle model and no tail at all right model.

Personaly, going by the Stygian fluff, tail forward looks more appropriately evil. But they all look great.As has been mentioned, tail is easier to remove than add.

Middle one - B - would get my vote. Seems the most 'balanced' model to my eye...

A has a better line over the carapace, rider, amd tail. B looks more agressive. Either would get my vote.
