a bit to assymetric for my taste, but it's looking good. you might want to post it here http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,15506.0.html as well.

Great ship! I'm a great fan of assymetric designs, and this one reminds me of Enforcer One, Bogga the Hutt's ship.

I like, I like
The first one is very good indeed. Its very remeniscent of the stlye used by V, so props for that. One thing that bothers me is that in the perspective view, the point where the cokckpit ends and the main body begins is not clearly defined. Maybe you were going for a Herc2 stlye smooth transition, but I think that a visible edge would work well with the overall blocky architecture. As well, the place where the the two meet, seems to fat to me. You need to trim it down. One more thing, the top "pod" just doesnt seem right to me. Its not the assymetry, I rather like that, but it sort of makes the whole thing too blocky. Maybe you need to make either the engines or the top missle back loinger than the rest, just so they dont end at the same place.
The second one I also like. It reminds me of that ship, I think its a Vasudan transport, I cant quite remember the name. The design, again, is very Terran looking. Again, it is a but too blocky. I think that if you increased the lenght of the ship, it would look less blocky. As well, like before, if you're going for assymetry, dont make all the components end in the same place. Make one longer than the other etc. The cockpit, also, could stand to be somehow better incorporated into the ship, but maybe its just the dark shading thats throwing me off.
Though that does sound like a lot of complaints, I really like the ships. If they were to be put into FS as-is, I would still like them alot.
Keep up the good work

Good point. Maybe one day I'll re-draw them...
Thanks for the approval. :)
This one is more or less a rip of a V credits image, but I did change some of it a bit...

well, altho assymetrical designs are cool, I think it's a bit too much there... plus even if it's assymetrical, you need to keep a balance between the two sides, or the ship will ( and does, here ) look, well, unbalanced. for exemple, if you put a big thing on one side, you'll have to put two small on the other.

Well, the cocpit isn't in the center. That kinda throws off the design a bit, I guess....

nope, taht's not a problem, you just need to put something to balance the cockpit on the other side :)

That second one is inspired by crim04.pcx from FS1's VP file.
I didn't remember how much I had changed it... lol

Yeah thats great can we use the sketch for an DOTA bomber ?
......cool post 1000

I don't really like the first one, but the second one is cool. Nicely done.:yes:

If I had a scanner that actually worked, I'd blow you all out of the water as far as concept art is concerned........Presuming my mother hasn't burned all my art pads.

Arsonist, is she?
-
No, just mentally handi-capped.
And if she has 'disposed' of them, she'll be knee-capped.

Wow... someone wants to make it? Sure, make it, but don't forget to send me a copy ;)
-
Post the first one in the TVWP form. it could be used there. Very nice work.

Yeah i say TrashMan that he shall send you a copy if he's done
btw: have you sketch from other sides of the bomber ?

No... It was hard enough to stay focused drawing it in perspective. I wish I drew it in a head on form... but I guess you can use your imagination... :nod:
