this space ship illustrations are for an card game. these are the first designs and represent the "dark force" - fighter,bomber and striker. drone,battleship and behemot and the designs for 4 more "forces"are supposed to follow. i´m having tons of fun painting these- i just love all things sci-fi ! its also a good excuse to geek up and do "real life-field-studies" in my favorite space-game, eve online i´m trying to create my own original designs- and of course i don´t use the game-images as reference but as an great ilustrator once said " we can´t stand outside a man and paint him well.We´ve got to be that man."- but since eve lacks an first person view of the action i had to look for an game where i could sit inside an space-ship, and "be that man" - and i found it ! its called "black prophecy" - an free (!) online space action game- the graphics are most amazing- also the game-play,and after some hours of playing i truly felt like an experienced space-ship pilot ! highly recommended !
thanks ! the ship in your link is really cool! i´m actually going to redo the first two ships of this "dark family".somehow they are not in line with the rest of the family... i still like them , but while i´m progressing with this huge commission (30 ships!) the first ships need to be upgraded...
thanks jared !! i did these with lots of enthusiasm- dunno,space and spaceships seem to be one of my favorite topics. really glad you enjoy- i was hoping to get some comments on them
I am absolutely speechless looking at these designs. Not only the designs but the colors are so vibrant and gorgeous. You really did a fantastic job buddy
