Perspective's a bit funky on the inlets, cockpit and fin ;)
Otherwise, recognizable :D

Pretty neat.  the nose looks a bit twisted, though.

Eh? You try drawing freespace models... It's hard. You should see the Thoth and Seth I tried to draw...

Well, actually, the Seth looked like a Seth, but it was still hard...

The hard part is the perspective - it's easier to draw humans than spaceships sometimes because the exact lines of the spaceship can always be critisised. A good effort though certainly!

What's wrong with a bit of honest critique?

Just one nitpick. The two guns below the cockpit look like they'd fire directly into the nose if you tried to shoot. :D

Looks great though man. I was trying to draw some things today, came out looking awful. :sigh:

Good stuff! Pencil drawing is a tough art, I've done a few doodles in my time for ideas, but I tend to keep the projection orthographic for modelling purposes :-

This is a s(crap)ped design, but shows what I mean...

I would agree that the guns are a little twisted compared to the chassis, but imagining the results had I tried that, it's still damn good work :)
