Fenspace - the Art Thread - M Fnord - 01-17-2007 Anybody who's ever worked with me on a group project knows that I'm something of a frustrated CG artist and when I get bored enough to be inspired, stuff like this happens: And for a more artistic arrangement: I can't say when (or even if) the next picture will happen, much less what it'll be, but for now let this be the designated Art Thread. Reference pictures, fanart, whatever, post it all here.

I had a somewhat different idea for how Stellvia looked, but this is better... -Rob Kelk -- Rob Kelk "Governments have no right to question the loyalty of those who oppose them.

Re: Fenspace - the Art Thread - drakensis - 01-17-2007 A Boeing C-97 Stratofreighter, the model used as the base of Mr Morden's Saint Bernard and probably several others (doesn't that nose just scream 'War Rocket Ajax' to you?)D for Drakensis You're only young once, but immaturity is forever.

If you ever get the urge to show the Grover's Corners in a pic, just remember that despite the quick descriptions it's not a sphere, but a very flattened spheroid -- it looks more like a pudgy flying saucer than a ball. -- Bob --------- ...The President is on the line As ninety-nine crab rangoons go by... ah - Foxboy - 01-17-2007 Here's a link to a picture of the sort of lines the Pinafore has: linky The ship itself is too big for the Pinafore but add a pair of warp nacelles towards the aft...

OK, Here's the Admiral Heinlein: busexplorer.com/NABus/Ima...tH5-60.jpg and from the back: busexplorer.com/NABus/Ima...-60Alt.jpg Re: Fenspace - the Art Thread - M Fnord - 01-18-2007 That first Stellvia image has been bugging me. The Wheel 'O Tanks is a pretty hideous kludge CG-wise, and I know I can do better than that. Which brings us to Stellvia model #2: The tanks aren't overlapping here, instead I've put in an elbow joint to connect each one (though the joint probably ought to cover the entire forward cone... thoughts for model #3, no doubt) the "spokes" are a bit wider, and the central core module is a little taller & not quite as wide compared to the rest of the structure. Anyway, Stellvia.--- Mr. Fnord http://fnord.sandwich.net/ http://www.jihad.net/ Mr. Fnord interdimensional man of mystery FenWiki - Your One-Stop Shop for Fenspace Information "I. Drink. Your.
