Competition #13 - naturon

Gday Gday,

Theres some great works happening in this comp already ... heres the start of my design.
It just a (VERY) general sketch to give me an idea of shape and size, its more born out of function than anything else ... so tell me what u think

Cheers

Sax

Yeah it is a bit low on the detail size but like i said it was really just to get an idea of how it'll look in my head.
Anyway after i getting a crap load of reference images ive started modelling. I wanted to go for a bit more of an Earthy/ humany feel ... sort of like an extended space station. So alot of the designs have come from rockets (specifically the V2) , satelites and Nuclear reactors.
Well heres what ive done so far ... only the rocket at the back has a normal map on it so far, just a test to see how itll look.
Crits welcome
Cheers

They are still very dark . Maybe if you add some lights to the scene?

You have an interesting desing, i like it, although i'd make the "solar dish" bigger, give it a bit of an surreal look. what's the current polycount btw?

It's a nice design although I would try to make it more ship like. At the moment it looks too much like a prop/ orbiting station/ satellite than a ship.
