Textures

So here are two examples of the textures I'm using in the map I posted screen shots of yesterday. I made these by hand in Photoshop. Diffuse, Specular and Normal. I'm new at "from scratch" texturing but I think these are pretty good newbie attempts. Now bare in mind when viewing them they are compressed from 2048px Targa files to 800px web compressed jpegs.



My creation method seems to be sound its just painting technique I noticed I lack. I'm sure a wack-off tablet would make things easier but being a starving artist I don't have $100+ to drop on a decent one. I'm thinking of making a video tutorial for making spaceship textures from scratch once I'm done with this project and refine my methods.
