Well here it is, my final entry
Tried hard to stick to the Minmitar style, building off of the T3 stylings to battlecruiser size
Also studied CCPs concept presentation, guess this is for modelling so should be a clean representation
Modelled in Max, plain grey model. Rendered then paintover in PS using various techniques ( aircraft part photos, textures and digital painting ). Time taken to properly trace over ortho views in PS usign varying line thicknesses
Hope you like it. Have a look in full size, there's a wee bit of detail in the paint
Hell, the filled-in side view actually looks like a wave and it's aftermath. It may look too much like a praying mantis for CCP.... maybe. That's the only thing I can think of.
Tornado was good, but this was better as a concept.
Congratulations on your third place finish!
it is sooo stunning!!!!
