Faction Character Art

Done by Ben Mills. We created some character art to help flesh out a more personal appearance of each of the factions. While this may not be featured in the final piece, it is misc material that fleshes out the narratives lore.

Sol Confed Captial Ship redisgn

I felt after that the original Sol Confederacy capital ship didn't work work in terms of scale and aesthetic to the other ships in the faction by the end, so reworked it from scratch. Using the same process for design as with the other ships, here is the final result.

Johnson Ting show reel Feel this one is more accessible than the previous one. Defiantly like the panning around on pictures for a sense of narrative, and the fading of evolving the video quickly.

Sol Confederacy Cruiser

When drawing the larger ships, even at this stage detail unlike the previous pieces become more subtle to help emphasize the size of the ship and help with scale when put along side the previous concepts. Still at this time finding the shape that is a continuation of the aesthetics of other ships, such as the beam like pieces, fins and open prow, and exposed command bridge

 Decided to start from scratch as I felt the previous perceptive would not show enough of the ship (mostly the side). This way I am planning to be able to show a lot more detail.

Decided to use a different prow, based on the original tuning fork like prow on the Sol Confederacy Lancer Fighter, I also want to add the simply external plating I used on the frigate to further bring a sense of continuity.

Added turrets and refining plating and tonal values.

Finalized concept before removing color with the saturation tool to bring the ship to its faction scheme.

Then using the curves tool to bring  the values down to look more black.

Finally adding the red stripes and other effects.

Working on the Sol Confederacy Corvette/Gunship. Jumped a bit ahead in the process, but using the same work process as with the Sol Confederacy Fighter
