Competition #13 - Nielsen

[Nielsen]

ugh, proof that I've got some pretty standard scifi stuff in my head.


middle one seems best to me but I'm not sure about the theme, it's a bit too cliché for a starship don't you think?

[Snipergen]

It might be a bit cliché but who cares at the end, if the model and texture is great, it's just great stuff. I think that is the goa l. I like the 2nd ship alot but your fighter should have more detail (or another drawing) before I can give crits on it I think. But I really like the mothership already.

[Nielsen]

Thanks, I'll try some other styles as well (although I must say that human-industrial ships are my favourite) Might try a mining barge and some smaller accompanying ships as well.

[Tom]

two of them are pretty similar to the style I'm going for. I better set up a thread asap

They all remind me of some very cool ships through out si-fi but at the same time dont look like a rip of them. I love the hanger bay with the blue glow on the second ship.

I'm abit afraid of a discussion later on, cause I have designed my hanger bays just like that. blue glowing light. My inspiration is star wars episode 3 (for the hanger bays), where glowing laser/force fields seal off the vaccum of space.

Well I can safely say that I got the blue hangar bays from Homeworld so you've got nothing to fear :P It's hard thinking of something original in a starship since almost everything's been done before so you need to pick a style and try harder ... which is hard.

Nielsen, might be worth a try to take some pictures of existing ships like those and then try to work your style into them. From first glance the mothership in halo (forget the name) came to mind. Be careful though as you go down the "standard scifi" route, remember you want it to stick out. Slapping your own ideas and style onto their designs could help make it even more interesting.

On these concepts though I think the middle one is the best...I really like the blue light on the bottom. Would be cool to work that blue light into more of the design.

The two first ships are definitly Homeworld-style I know since I'm a fan and my ships are inspired by Homeworld as well. Actually mine are hybrids of many movies/games/concepts.

After I'm done writing this post I'll set up my thread so there will be no further confusions there

The first two look slighlty UNSC (Halo) style. The third one looks a bit like a wrath dart from Stargate.
