Space Ship Work In Progress

Here are my WIP's for my Space Ship Model:

Here I started with a cube and began shaping the base exterior:



I then shaped out the cockpit and added slightly more detail to the wings:



I then hollowed out the cockpit and the storage room behind it before adding some more shape to the wings and the top and bottom of the ship.



Finally I opened out the back of the ship and added the ship's propulsion engines.




Description of the SpaceShip:

This ship is meant for commercial use and is only meant to be used by one man however the ship can accommodate up to 4 people aboard before certain safety regulations are breached. The ship is small in size and is used for quick travel across the stars with relative ease. As well as additional RCS thrusters, the ship comes with aerodynamics in case the personnel aboard encounter a rough planetary atmosphere. The main propulsion thrusters located at the back of the ship are powered by the crew's favourite chemical compound fuel, but the engines can still operate on a low thrust using the main solar panel located on top of the craft. This is recommended for long periods of space travel. The cockpit comes pre-installed with the latest Google Glass Eye Optics window which has been customised to suit space travel on a galactic scale. The Ship is also fitted with a small wireless receiver tuned to a low 6G. This allows connection to the internet to be maintained so long as the craft remains within an approximate 3 light years from the solar system (Sol).





Texture Test.

Here is a small texture I whipped up to be applied to the exterior hull:

Sci Fi Spaceship Assignment MoodBoards

For this assignment I constructed two moodboards to help me create an idea for my final design.

The first moodboard are concepts of futuristic small/medium sized commercialised or public transportation ships. I really like the idea of a personal commercial spacecraft for a family or even a single person:


The second moodboard contains images of existing space technology as I plan to blend the two timelines of space technology together for a final design:

Dragon Assignment

For my dragon, I started out by sculpting the primitive shape of the head:


I then created a body for the head in a flying serpent style:


I then added a mouth to the dragon:


I then finished up by adding fine details, features to the head, wings and spine spikes to give a weird take on a flying serpent / dragon. This is my final dragon.

Dragon Moodboard

Here is my moodboard for my dragon assignment. I really like the idea of wyverns or dragons without arms or legs. Basically flying serpents. So I hope to have that as my final result.
