Competition #13 - cnflkt

cnflkt · 09-02-2008, 03:58 PM

Okay just saving a spot and posting my ideas at the moment.

here something i sketched for a fighter/scout class
still needs work on the "wings" and engine gubbins

Kind of a mix with art deco and tech.

Its definitly deco

which is a good thing imo. Loving the reference to old planes and even the frontgrill of a car :P

I'd definitely make your bulges wider. Give it some more width to the silhouette.

Tiros · 09-02-2008, 06:54 PM

Looking quite nice so far, only thing I'm somewhat unsure about would be the front grill

Oh, and by the way!

*bump*

here an update:

currently tweaking the design a bit, like i said before going for a deco look, but
also thinking of going with that and a old/used/worn look too

cheers.

you might want to angle the nose out a little give it a slight slant.. and so the same for the wings. sweep them back a little. art deco tended to use sharp angles.. not JUST 90* ones.if you give those 2 a slight angle it will be alot more interesting..

An update:

Fighter:

design is still under refinement. Thinking about pinching the nose in.

Cruiser:

got the silhouette down, just working balancing and styles.
Hardest part was keeping the ship designs as a family of ships, trying to make sure the belong together. spent a few days working ideas then coming back reworking try new things
took a while be go there eventually

Anyway tried to give reference again to artdeco styling with reference to early 50s planes and bombs.

I'm tweaking the balance a bit with engine size and count, having different sizes along the wing. Different sizes might be a texture limitation rather than a design one but we'll see
dragging verts isn't anything drastic.
not really happy with current docking detail, under the wing... feels a bit hashed out anyway few be would be nice.

I really like the style, keep it up!

Thanks for the comment.

I have been worrying it might be a little too plane like though.
