So, I have two #Miniature #Spaceship fleets and I'm thinking how to paint them while still keeping it generic enough to use them for whatever strikes my fancy.

One is all sharp edges and bird-of-prey vibes, very kiki, if you know what I mean. These look less than friendly and could totally be pirates, space cultists, romulans, and other overtly threatening people.

The other is very much <strike>flying penises</strike> rounded edges, curved panels, twin nacelles and, while not totally bouba, certainly more so. Less overtly threatening at first glance (but still giant phallic battleships), these could be noble houses, space popes, the local space centrists or other we-need-the-giant-lasers-for-space-exploration types.

The question now is whether to lean into those vibes (red, grimy space hawks vs. Light-grey/silver penis ships) or try and subvert them. (Neutral light blues and greens of the Space Birding Society vs. The glossy black and neon pinks of the Church of Pleasure and Pain)

Hm, hm, hm.

Ideas and comments welcome.
