Title: Need creative suggestions
Post by: gevatter Lars on January 08, 2006, 08:03:13 pm: I have digged up an old projekt of mine and I am a little bit out if creativity. So I would like to ask around if anyone has got some suggestions.

My rought guide for the model is "What would the Wing Commander Movie Tigers Claw would have looked like when we take the game model as the starting point."
I have made the basic shape of the gamemodel following the Clawmarks for most of it. Then I gave the runway some details that I like so far. Then I started the outside of the runway and my mind was totaly blank...no ideas at all...or better said I didn't like them very much.
So I would like to ask for some input. What I don't want to do is somethink like open structures like they do it often in StarWars....simpley hate it ^_^
I am mostly searching for somekind of details/examples for the armor plating and other details. I have made a simple render and done some rough scetches with Photoshop for some of the ideas I had...still very basic.
Big Armorplating (http://web396.xps1.microserver.de/wcsaga/Lars/Bengal/size/ArmorPlating/side01.jpg)
Mid armorplating and thrusters (http://web396.xps1.microserver.de/wcsaga/Lars/Bengal/size/ArmorPlating/side02.jpg)
smaller armorplating, thrusters and maybe a place for torpedo tubes (http://web396.xps1.microserver.de/wcsaga/Lars/Bengal/size/ArmorPlating/side03.jpg)

Who would like to draw some suggestions himself here is a clean pic

Please remember that I want to keep the basic shape as much as possible. I hope someone can cure me from my idealessness.

Still I don't find anything that I like for the plating.

Btw, try and take a little bit from the movie's Tiger Claw; it really wasn't that bad looking, I liked the whole look of the ship. Maybe make the edges of that ship's hanger more rounded and bulbous like the bow of the movie tiger claw?
