I can't believe this thing was your creation! I started =v=, began browsing throuh the ships, came across the Tornado and instantly decided I was going to get it.  I worked so hard to get this thing, and boy was it EPIC!   Such power was breathtaking to behold.  Such amazing memoreis with it!  (Then I got gate jumped by two tier III Rifters and lost all of my 200M ISK investment. )

This just has to be my most favorite boat in Eve, followed closely by the Cane.

Thank you for giving us Minnie players such a beautiful ship.

It's weird that Despite that huge contest of EVE online, there are not much EVE artwork on DA...

You gave EVE the Tornado.
To be honest: Great job & grats for winning. You got my fav

You've really gone all out on this one! Amazing work!

Tornado; the Suicide Gankers best friend!

Flying this right now, just finished turning it into a sniping platform.

Damn sexy.

oh my this is really cool

wow..love d ship

I just wanted to say that the Tornado quickly became one of my favorite ships in EVE Online after it was introduced. It's fun to use, looks good, and most importantly ---- it's vertical.

this ship is legit what does it feel like designing something and then actually seeing it come to life like this in the game, musta been a bit surreal aye..

I have flown this ship.

Having just found out about this contest, just wanted to say something I'd figure the original designer would appreciate hearing. I'm aware that a lot of people have flown this. I am one of them, and it is cool.

how much fun is eve once you get deeper into the game?

This makes me want to fly my Maelstrom to fly true Minmatar again!

Just looking at this design on the Wiki thinking how awesome it looks. Great work. Going to be buying one of these shortly!

Every time I see one of these works of art pass by me on EVE I get goose bumps. Incredible.

Congrats on the win!

Great Work .. ..

One of my favorites of the glass cannon cap-ship killers. Ridiculously fast.

Also, are you happy now? There's no hurricanes anymore cause everyone wants one of these.

Thanks for making a great ship ! I love the Minmatar Race, and i will proudly fly this ship

Smashed some customs offices with one of these a little bit ago.

Congrats, that Design really made it into EVE!
Well done!

Proud Tornado pilot here o7

I am flying this ship right now. It's awesome.

congrats your ship is already in the game looks fantastic

This... Is... AWESOME!! I'm buying one as soon as it comes out, I love it!

congrats ! can't wait to see this one ingame

im buying one on eve as soon as they realease him. congrats

Minmatar Rule! Thought I had this in my favs but guess not, time to fix that! Anyways, gonna get one of these things when I get the chance. A battlecruiser with battleship guns sounds fun.

elegant

Reminds me of the Gallente Frigate class Catalyst but with a slightly different shape to it.

i seen them in homeworld
lol eve steals a lot xD

(dont mean it, looks good)

why is the mimnitar the only exceptional one?, the gallente ship is useless it's just a domi with some extra armor, the caldari one is all right as it would even the playing field to match the rr domi fleet's prowess, but the amarr version is worthless what use is tracking disruption on a battleship?, i mean c'mon the only ship that you made here that would survive on it's own is the tornado, or maybe the abolition if it is scripted with optimal range disruption and is facing a blaster boat, redo the gallente boat give us something useful we deserve to have the best ship of a sub capital class, we've been nerfed to nubdom for 3 years

oh man, you're drawing are so awesome, you have some tutorial of this? some tecnique?

I play Eve

It's comming to be true! Congrats

check this out ^^

In a contest with many worthy entries, yours stood out as excellent. There were other ships I liked more for aesthetic reasons, not because their artwork was better, but as EVE seriously needs more vertical ships this got my vote as well

I think it should be named "Broken Boomerang". Hehe. This looks amazing though. Always loved the look of Minmatar ships.
Fantastic!

The image linked below just showed up on the EvE Facebook page. It's being made finally!

I like it and would buy it, but to be completely honest, i think there were other designs worthy of 1st place but that's down to personal preference. It's simple and sticks to Minmatar design so should be fairly easy to import into the game without any adjustments. This is the reason why some probably didn't win because of there drastic "out there" design. Does anyone know when are we likely to see this in-game ?

Great work and congrats on winning mate
