Title: Damn, I'm starting another project
Post by: Aardwolf on October 31, 2009, 11:48:27 pm
Instead, I'm posting some inspirational concept art from the credits images of FS1. Behold:

I personally never liked the Aeshma, but the hammerhead is just win. If someone feels like detailing the Aeshma at some point, I for one wouldn't mind seeing that sort of hammerhead, particularly since it's quasi-canon.

I noticed the ship's left gun (the gun on the right of the image) is misaligned in the drawing... whatever

There were a bunch of odd ships in the credits.....Some of them could had potential.....

It would be pretty badass to see a bit of that design in a touched-up Aeshma.  It's a rather nondescript fighter as-is.

And seeing as how the Aeshma has frakked up LOD2 as it is....

Why isn't that in the Wiki?

Yeah. I'm concerned not all concepts made it onto there.

I know I'd much rather shoot that than what's in-game right now.

That Aeshma actually looks rather badass.

Well, it does have some elements of FS1 Shivan design (Freakish Mechanical).

I preferred freakish mechanical to the more stereotypical evil alien thing.

Me too, that's why I liked FS2.

BUT LET'S NOT DO THIS AGAIN HERE.

So, back on topic, are there any modelers* interested in actually trying to make this thing? Because that was the reason I posted it.

*who aren't already working on too many things at once

Doubleplusbump borderline necro!

In case any of you have forgotten or didn't know this existed, it does. Glory to whoever makes the concept Aeshma!

Looks like what happens when you cross a Whitestar with the Andromeda.  :D

Well if nobody else wants to do this... would someone at least convert LOD0 to .3ds (with materials, uv coords, and smoothing) so that I can take a stab at it?

Obviously there are significant discrepancies, but having the original as a starting board would be useful.

Edit: Kudos to _Angelus_ for getting me it. I'm not sure the smoothing worked, but it will suffice.

Another Edit: Damn that hammerhead is a lot harder to model than I expected!

Well, since nobody else wanted it, it looks like I'm starting this after all.

Don't abandon your other ones though.

Yeah yeah.

Anywho, that hammerhead (which is a lot harder than I expected) is sorta shaping up;

That's the head of the Hatshepsut... Maybe try making it look more Shivan.
