Guys, I have done like 500 iterations of this ship and I cannot figure out what a bad guy spaceship should look like! Needs to hold a crew of 5-10 bad space bandit/pirate type dues. I am trying to go for "ugly" and mean (it still needs to look cool, but not elegant). Feedback please!!!
Sam!
ReplyDeleteNice man. cool that you are doing so many spaceship iterations!!! eric would be proud!!! haha. Interesting that you are doing a badguys ship. like it.
i Like how you have specifications on the ship, like it is supposed to look cool and rugged with a crew of 5-10; One thing, was wondering if this ship was supposed to travel really really fast? or if it is more slow & sluggish moving? Is this a warship or is this something more of a cargotype ship?
Obviously take everything I say with a grain of hot chilli peppers, but Right now the very bottom right iteration I like the most cause of the silhouette for a fast warship, but what I am noticing is that all of these have a similar silhouette of a triangle with its tip pointing to the left.
I know you did a lot more drawings than what is shown here, but I would say play around with different shape silhouettes like have the front end really large and it tapers off as it goes. Maybe the ship is really tall and not long. another thing I have heard is to randomly make silhouette shapes until you come up with something that could look cool for a ship.
if that doesnt work, maybe try word association and mashing 2-3 different real world references together. Like... maybe a shark, a tank, and egyptian design architecture. this is of course super random and will be really hard to do but who am I to deny you from this idea incase it works for you.
Anyways I should shutup because I am definitely rambling. hope this helps Sam and nice work man! I Love seeing your stuff! Hope everything with work is going smooth brotha.
