i kinda thougt this might intrest some people



it shows how a concept model  evolves from initial idea to finished product (or products in this case). the original plan was to make a vasudan heavy bomber with an asymetrical design. mind you the original was made a long time ago before the scp was started and before my modeling skills stopped totally sucking. unsatisfied with that model i decided id make a slightly more symetrical design, still unsatisfied i continued to produce new ideas. by about the 4th concept model i decided i was making a heavy stealth bomber. it was for a time then i added gatling guns and made it a gunboat. still having the original model i tore it up to make the pf shagrath. its ugly but fun to fly.

you're gun barrells are too long

gun barrels are always 80x the calibur. you need to read up on you ballistics knoledge.

The one on the left looks awesome. Weird (new species?), but awesome.

its a pirate vessel

didnt know anyone would discribe it as awesome though, i always thought it was an ugly ship, which is why ive yet to show it offtill now.

'Tis the texturing that does it for me, at least from this angle.

I agree. Looks great. I also really like the original model. Assymetry = good

Gold one model is very nice:nod:
 If you place on it main guns from Maelstorm model could be good terran vasudan hybrid;7

Did you draw concept art beforehand?

nah im not much for 2d drawings. il start with a low poly concept model, and add details little by little. eventually i got a model ready for texturing. im still having problems working with higher polyconts. old habbits die hard.

Aahh.... it helps a lot, I've found.  Albeit I'm hopeless at drawing perspective, so I tend to do side / top (or both) planar sketches and extrapolate off of that.  I'll need to dig out a scanner sometime; I have a model which i managed to get exactly looking like and scaled to it's concept piccy, which I'm quite chuffed about.
