Been working on this book for a really long time and since I liked Freespace so much, I thought I might as well post some pics here to see what people think.
The first one is Tsunami and it's a Juggernaut class starship for the Terran forces. It's also the most powerful ship in the GSA(Galactic Systems Alliance).

Interesting design, GSA is a custom faction set in FS universe or something totally unrelated?
-
Unrelated. Though some things do influence like the shivans are kind of like the big badguys in my book. The GSA is like the GTVA except the GSA don't keep secrets and does not have an intellegence branch like the Terran Assembly and Vasudan Navy.
If the Shivans fought the Terrans in my book, they would be on equal grounds in strengh of warships.

Here are some pictures for the Terran's. The first picture is one of the main character's who is looking at a small patrol of a Revalance mk II Cruiser and a Saber fighter wing around the two homeworld's, of the Terran species. The two planets are called Terra Prime and Neo-Terra. The woman in the picture is named Syia. She is the secound leader of the Terran race.

The Secound picture is the Revalance mk I cruiser. The mark II crusier has more firepower and more armor and the mark I is less exspensive to Build. The wierd thing is that the speed of these two ships are roughly the same. They are the equals of the Fenris and the Leviathan in ship comparison. In a fight the GSA Cruisers would obliterate the GTVA Cruisers. I will give more information on the ships later to give a better idea of their capabilities.

And just to say, the size of Terran ships for the GSA are much bigger than the GTVA Terran ships.

I wanted to have a class of ship that was sync with a A.I. So to say this ship is a living entity. This idea came from an anime show i enjoyed watching on toonami. This ship is Terran

This is the only capital ship in the Terran arsenal that is not made to engage other capital ships. This is a gunboat with 15 turrets, all for the sake of killing fighters and bombers. The Aeulos of the GSA.

Will be Redrawn

My secound favorite ship i have drawn so far. This is one of 2 corvett classes in service of the Terran's. This ship has 34 turrets. Six of them made for killing capital ships. Though a corvette it has the fire power fo a heavy destroyer. Proudly named the Nemesis class, a Nemesis class ship demostrated its fire power against the Void. Engaging and destroying a Destroyer, Corvette, 6 enemy wings, and crippling 2 cruisers before having to retreat. I wanted an overpowerd ship that was basiclly the meaning of unstopable. This ship though incredible sadly has flaws. Number one it takes a very long time to build, up to two and a half years non stop. Number two. it takes oblivion crystals to power its engines, which are extremely rare to find. Lastly it has so many weapons that it has to shut down all off them to activate a subspace jump. Its jump charge even takes a while, thirty secounds, which for can be highly vulnerable.

i have like 8 different races that have ships to post. Should i make new topics for them or put them on this. Seeing how this is the terran line of ships topic i was thinking of making new ones for them.
-
Edit the topic's name. And remember, you can always edit your posts to add new stuff (such as images.)
-
All of them feel like gigantic ships, probably because of the amount of windows on the sides. Your warship designation is the same used in FS, as in: Cruisers being smallest of the capital ships, then going up to Corvettes, Destroyers and finally Jugs?
-
The classes of Warships in the Terran armada are. GTGs Gunship, GTC Crusier, GTCv Corvette, GTD Destroyer, GTLD Living Destroyer, GTSB Star Behemoth, and finally GTJ Juggernaut.
As for the size of the ships, Terran Gunships are the size of the Auelos crusier, GSA Cruisers that belong to the Terrans are 15% bigger than the Diemos Corvette. The Terran Corvetts are 75% of the size of the Orion Destroyers. Terran Destroyer's and Living Destroyer's are 15% bigger than the Orion class Ships. Terran Star Behemoths are the size of the Collosus. And the Terran Juggurnaunts are 30% bigger than the Collosus.
Juggernaunt Class ships have only been built by the Terrans so far. And their is only one ship that is currently in the Star Behemoth class.
The human Race is currently constructing one. The size of the ship is the same as a Terran Corvette.
-
Been a while. Here is a new one. This time its from a different spices called the Mejerians (most likely will change that name). They are an all female race. they are the second most advance race in the GSA. However their numbers were drastically reduced by the Nei-la. All the men were wiped out in the war. It was thanks to the mauler's and the Terrans that they did not go extinct.
(http://i.imgur.com/pknXvDE.jpg)
The celestial envoy was used by diplomats to help with relation ships with other species. However after the Nei-la invasion the last of these have been turned into cruisers. Desperate times call for desperate measure as the ships of peace are turned into a weapon against the remnants of the Nei-la and the ravaging Void.
-
The ship today is a human cruiser class. have not thought up the name of this class so it's a no name for now. This ship was built after Humanity joined the GSA so its more fit to accommodate its new allies than previous older ships.
here is some new info for this ship. type: heavy carrier. class: hurricane class. crew: 1000 crew, 300 pilots. armor: classified. Weapons: Classified. Engine. 4 hyperspace electro magnetic plasma engines. top speed: 35 knots. Manufacture: Hein Space Frame industrial.
HISTORY: Wait as more information will be reveled.

The Void!!! The Shivans of my book. They are equivalent to the Terran's in everything, including size. This ship is a Battleship that when first encountered, attack and destroyed a small patrol fleet. Terran council believed is was a show of force just like the Terran Nemsis class ship did.

Will be Redrawn.

I went to a place called job corps to learn painting. I met many people and made many friends. I was also doing my book but had some drawing block I guess. so I told a room mate to drawn me something 2d and I will make 3d and it will be a beginning for a fleet I need to make for one of the good guys. He said ok and started drawing. it took him 5 seconds. it was a fish.... he drew a fish and said go for it. I accepted his challenge and turned it into a starship.
I present to you the carrier of a small alliance n the alliance known as the meta alliance. its an alliance in the GSA of medical and engineering geniuses. META stands for Medical Engineering Technology Alliance. When my friend saw this he became interested and developed the weapons system for this race. Their weapons use bio electricity to destroy electronics and overload systems, most common the reactors of starships. Terrans, Mejerians, and Humans say its the worst way to go from any alliance weapons.

Hello. Is this an artbook with a backstory, or do you plan on writing a full story to go with it?
-
This is a story. I have 3 chapters done.
-
Hmmm. Will you post any story material at some point?
-
I'm ok at drawing. I'm a ****ty writer. So it probably makes no sense. I might, though I don't take criticism well.
-
CloudFlare making it take forever to post this.
Hmmm, if that thread where people were dismantling Freespace itself's storyline was anything to go by, it might be best not to. I'd be nice, but I'm not sure about others.
EDIT: I have to go now. Good luck with the project.
-
Feel free to post your material - I'm a decent writer and have a lot of experience with constructive feedback.

I couldn't tell you why, but this just looks really, really cool to me. It's a badass, no-nonsense design that's been well drawn. Very cool. :yes:
-

You're the one I'm worried about. Especially for someone who is sensitive to criticism.
-
You're quite an artist. I love the amount of details you've got going here. I think you should post your story material - the best way to improve is constructive criticism from people with experience.
-
been gone for a while.. no internet sucks. anyway back to it. I have redrawn the void battleship. I thought it was to busy so I cut it down a little.
(http://i.imgur.com/ueF3zTv.jpg)
I want the void to be black an purple like how the shivans are black and red. here is my first color attempt. I thought there was to much purple.
(http://i.imgur.com/IDdGj0j.jpg)
here is my second try at it with less purple.
(http://i.imgur.com/GHZeGD4.jpg)
which one do you pefer and if not any other colors you might think of. black is always part of it.
-
I personally prefer the more purple one. I'm surprised you haven't covered the entire bodywork, but I guess you want some white in there too. I like the ship quite a lot.
-
there will be no white on the ship its just I have been working on other stuff.
-
been working on maps for the important worlds that are mentioned or visited in the book. the first being the Terran Homeworld.
(http://i.imgur.com/1FB3euz.jpg)
-
Had another look ignoring the white areas. I still favour the more purple one.
-
I will complete both to show again
-
Hey guys been a while. been having some drawing block so nothing really been going on. But that's how i get better. I stop for a little then get back to it and then all of a sudden I'm better at it. Well i have lots of drawing already I just want to redraw them better then put it on here. hopefully you will not be disappointed.
The next ship i want to post is a human one but I'm extremely happy with it. It looks like a giant gun. :)
Also is there anything you could add to the ships you saw previously? I get ideas and mash them with others. Works better that way I think.
-
Man 2 years about since i last updated this. well i found my gun human ship. probably to busy might tone it down. This beast took way to long. :banghead:
(http://i.imgur.com/uaOkgiJ.jpg)
-
got the ship redrawn to bare bones. now to add details again. like i said before ths ship was just to busy for my taste.

only major problems are that the big loop on the bottom looks pointless and the hangar at the front is a boring rectangle that could do with being broken up or having interesting stuff built around it
-
i could get rid of the loop to see how it looks. i put the hanger in front cause a rear line/support ship. and the command structure of earth would never have it out alone or in front. and i thought it would look more human. since before metting the terrans they never met a race that required them to put there hanger entrance in a more secure area.
-
I'm really surprised it's been that long since you last posted here. It really doesn't feel like it. I like the ship. :)

You don't have to compromise that stuff though, you could e.g. put a hangar deck in the middle and chamfer off the forward corners, a bit like the flight pods on the Theseus in Diaspora. Anything to make it look less like the top of a cereal box, basically.
-
hmm. i wanted the loop to be a form of protective armor so only the sides were vulnerable. only reason why the loop is there in the first place. also what does the thesus pod area look like?
and the ship without the loop could be a speedier variant.
-
I love big armour plates held away from the hull but the problem with the loop is that it doesn't give enough coverage to look defensive. It needs to be a bit wider and it needs to curve or angle around the main hull. Blue Planet has a few ships with plates like this, e.g. the Sanctus as modelled by Hades:
The Theseus' pods (http://diaspora.hard-light.net/images/wip/wip_theseus_006.jpg) look like this (http://www.foundation3d.com/uploads/studio/2009/06/-28-204139.jpg). You don't have to go for that particular look but note how it's not a big boring cuboid with a hole at the end.
-
OK now I got you on the hanger part yeah the bays do look better and harder to hit cause of the narrow space and isn't a big box. as for the loop i was thinking of replacing it for maybe a spinal cord like armor going from a little behind the nose down toward the bridge and then up to the engine. it would look pretty cool and protect the bottom of the ship were the bridge and sensors are. and the engine would be giving more protection. ;7
maybe or just do a spinal cord on the sides of the ship.
-
while i do that stuff i want to post some new pics on the mejerian race. all female race. this one was radically different from the human ships since those are boxy i wanted ships that were more beautiful but deadly as well. they might not look like beauty but what i draw there diamonds in the sea for me lol. :)
