Following is Oblivion's proposed concept design in this thread:
Via email, jackS was so friendly as to comment on the here presented concept. I want to share this authoritative guidance with the artist(s) that would like to take the challenge of further improving the current concept. Authoritative in this context means according to the UTCS (Upon the Coldest Sea) cannon and aligned with manufacturing styles of the faction by which the vessel in question was manufactured.Oblivion wrote:POLYDECTES
Anybody willing to continue with the design?Basic concept is sound. Could use some additional indications of retro/lateral thrusters and, like most art from this period, wouldn't suffer from having some radiator surfaces added, but the overall feel of the ship is good, and the Aeran aesthetic is clear. Maybe the radiator fins could go at the back? The thing that actually really jumps out at me looking at that picture is a reminder that many of our turret models are in need of replacement/revisiting/re-imagining/etc.
